So, our treadmill is still broken and Ty got up and took the boys fishing way early this morning so I had no other options but to do a workout video of sort.  So, I opted for a strength training video with Erin today! It has been almost 3 weeks since I did this video so I know I will be sore tomorrow!! It felt nice to work some muscles though:)

Woke up OH SO SORE yesterday from my strength training video on Monday but still wanted to run! I started getting ready to go out but my babes (3 year old) woke up fevered and so I decided not to (Sick kids break my heart).  Then I hoped to get something in ALL DAY and of course, never did.  So, needless to say, I was anxious to get up today and get in some exercise.  Cute Heidi W was willing to run with me today so we went outside for a little out and back course.  We just ran out 2 and back but I actually ran almost all of it!!! Woot woot!!! I am officially 35 weeks so I feel like I am getting closer and the countdown is on! I hope to get one more week of some good running in and then assess the situation at that point!!  It felt really nice to get out today and better yet, to get outside!! It was a beautiful morning!!!

Did something a little different tonight! I took my kiddos to Piano lessons and had an hour to kill so I went to a park near by and walked/ran around their little asphalt track.  I didn't wear my watch and have no idea how far each lap is so I am totally guesstimating on how far I actually went but it seemed to be at least 3.5-4 miles.  Not to mention that I walked/ran consistently for almost 50 minutes so I would hope that it was at least 4 miles.  However, not knowing I don't dare assume the most so I will mark it as 3.5:).  I alternated walking one lap and running 2.  Feel like I got a semi-decent workout and was glad to get a little something in!

Just a little Variety Exercise today!! I woke up after a VERY rough night (hips hurt so bad I couldn't get comfy enough to sleep so I basically laid awake all night).  My hips were sore and my babes was sitting low so I knew straight running may not be the best idea.  I got on the TM (Yes, my handy Manny Hubby fixed it, HOORAY) and walked for 5 minutes to warm up, then did weights and lunges, got back on the TM for another 5 minutes of walking, followed by more weights and lunges, then walked for a bit, ran until 2 miles, then stretched and did a bit more weights to equal a total of 50 minutes of exercise.  Like how I try to make it sound like it was a GREAT workout??? Well, it wasn't really but at least I got up a got "something" in.  I need to get in about 4 miles tomorrow or at least I'd like to:)  We'll see what mood baby girl is in in the morning and go from there!! So glad it's Friday, Yipee!

Saturday mornings................I love them!!! I get to sleep in a bit (if you consider what I do for sleep these days), wake up, clean my house a little bit and get on the TM when I can!! It's a lovely situation:) I need to enjoy them as long as I can because it seems Spring brings CRAZY Saturday mornings, fun in their own way but I like them the way they are now:). 

So, I got up and got on the TM for a little jaunt.  Basically walked the first mile while talking to my cute brother on the phone, then ran/walked the last 3.5.  It was nice and I felt like I got my heart beat up.  I am going to wait about 2 more weeks and then start running some 9-10 milers in an attempt to induce labor.  Not really............there is no way I could do that but it's tempting to try! I am so ready to get my baby here:).  Just a few more short weeks:) Yee Haw!!!
