Here we go again~

My mileage is dwindling but I am still trying:).  Woke up a bit later then I should have but wanted to get something in and knew it was a crazy day and night so later was not an option.  So, I hopped on the TM and got in 3 miles (Again with the half mile walk, half mile run technique).  I am actually really liking this option because I feel like I get a semi-decent work out and it doesn't bring on the strong BH Contractions and after contractions that keep me up all night.  I think it's my body's way of saying "yah, this works" so we'll stick with it:).  Took me 35 mintues~ Better then nothing!

Hooray, it's FEBRUARY!!!! I can finally say I am due next month:).  Granted, it's the END of next month but still, there is some comfort in thinking Next month!! ha ha!! I woke up this morning after a very restless night and decided a little strength training might be a good things so I did 40 minutes of Physique 57.  The workout total is 57 minutes (hence the name) so I did everything but the Ab section.  It's such a killer workout!! I am excited to get back with this post baby and build some muscle! My legs feel a little sore now.................NICE!

So, I am sticking with the treadmill theme for now.  Not to mention that it's WAY TOO COLD outside to find the desire to go out there:).  Today I woke up with the intentions of sticking with the same routine I did on Monday (.5 mile walk, .5 mile run to 3 miles) but as I started on the TM I decided that I needed to see what I was able to do.  I walked .5, then ran a full mile (that felt nice since it'd been a week since running a while mile without stopping), then walked another .5 then ran 2 miles putting me at 4 total!! I am glad I was able to get just that one extra mile in and to be able to run 3 miles instead of just 1 1/2, etc~ I am also sore from yesterday's Physique 57 so I am feeling pretty good that I got some of these "areas" worked out a bit! It's been a good morning so far:) 

So, I am feeling a bit guilty about not doing anything yesterday. I felt like I really needed a day off and wanted to sleep in but then went a little overboard with my "Desert intake" and am now regretting it (I really need to get a grip). Not to mention that I couldn't sleep and ended up getting up at 5:50AM anyway (hate that).  I used the morning doing house work and getting necessary stuff done instead of working out.  As nice as it is to get that sort of stuff done, I always feel guilty when I don't get a little workout in.  Sooooooooo, I really needed to get up this morning!! I set the alarm to get up early, but Tyler said I was snoring so he turned it off and let me sleep in (I have another cold so I can't breath at night and can't get comfortable enough to sleep much so although "snoring" might be an exaggeration, I am sure I was pretty fun to listen to once I was actually sleeping:), ha ha!  So, I woke up late and ran right down to get on the TM.  Today I alternated .25/.75 walk/run instead of .5/.5 getting 3 miles in.  The beauty was I got 3 miles in in 31 minutes instead of 35 minutes so that made me feel happy!! It was just a little something but nice nonetheless :) Happy Friday! I love Friday!

Ty got up and went out early this morning and then went to help his dad so he didn't get home until 10:30.  I was dressed and ready to go out to run but when it boiled down to it, I was running out of energy (yah, that's pretty early in the day to be running out of energy I know:)).  Never the less, I decided to go out and see how I felt.  I originally planned to go 5 miles but decided 4 was enough for today. I knew I needed to hurry home to get ready for a Cousin's Baby shower so as I kept running, my brain boggled with my "to do" list and so I cut it a little short.  Today I ran a mile, walked .25, ran another mile, walked .25 then ran out the last 1 1/2 putting me at 4 total:).  All in all I felt really good and must say how nice it was to get OUT and run!! The weather is perfect running weather! It was good~
