Here we go again~

So after being sick most of last week and not doing any sort of exercise Thursday, Friday or Saturday it was nice to get up this morning and get something in.  Tyler went to the gym so I just got up on the TM.  It's so sad how fast my body has gone downhill and amazing how hard it seems to run, but I tried to do the best I could.  I walked for a couple of minutes, then ran to the first mile.  Then walked for another 2 minutes, and ran to mile 2, then walked again and ran to mile 3.  I was happy to get in 3 miles:) and it seemed to get easier the more I stuck with it.  I then did about 15 minutes of weights and stretched for 10 minutes! Felt nice and I really think worked some of this cold out of me.  I coughed my head off during the run and afterwards but actually have my voice back today which is a nice thing:)

Strength training this morning with Heidi C and Erin (Erin is the lady on the video).  I love this video. It's a good workout:)

Wowsa!!! I went to a yoga class this morning with the Heidi's and HOLY COW! No wonder the instructor had a rockin body! This workout was VERY HARD!! I actually got dizzy and had to sit and stretch for a while (yah, I am pretty much totally out of shape).  We worked out for about an hour and 15 minutes and had to actually leave a bit early so that I could get home for Tyler to meet the scouts and plow driveways after that HORRIBLE STORM YESTERDAY, ha ha!! What in the world was that all about?!?!

Needless to say, I am already feeling sore!! I wish I could go to this yoga class more often, I think I would be in the best shape of my life:). Jimminies~

Happy belated Thanksgiving (I am posting this after the fact).  This morning, Tyler and I got up and went to the gym (my mom was at my house to watch the kiddos so I got to go with Tyler, SO NICE).  Ty ran on the TM while I did 35 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes of spinning, 15 minutes of walking on the TM and then some light weights.  I traditionally like to run 6-10 miles on Thanksgiving morning so this was a big change for me but one I am trying to embrace!!! Not to mention that it was too bloody cold to even think about running outside, YIKES! I am grateful for a warm car, a warm house, a very warm gym and the ability to work out with my hubby from time to time! It was a great morning:)

So, I went out for a run with Heidi W this morning.  We got to sleep in and start at 8:00 which to me was quite dreamy!!! However, it is getting harder and harder to run and I am NOT dealing very well with it!! I just can't seem to breath!! And my baby shifts and lays on my sciatic and it causes some pretty serious pain down my legs! I got home and told Tyler that I need to quit drinking soda (a new addiction that cured morning sickness and now I can't seem to quit) because I think it is contributing to the loss of oxygen when running but Tyler's response was "Ummmm, you don't think it has something to do with the fact that you have a baby in your belly?".  It made me laugh.  But then I went into my room and had a little moment!! It is hard! I want to keep running but is my body already telling me enough??? I know that it will all be worth it when my beautiful baby is born but it's sure hard to think about taking the next 5 months off with no running (remaining pregnancy and recovery).  And in the past I have been able to run further into my pregnancy and I really really know that it helps with recovery so I am trying to focus on that.  I probably just need to try to slow my pace down significantly and do what I can (especially through the winter) because I don't want to just give up and stop doing everything.  I don't know?!?! I guess we will see what happens! I will try to remain positive in the meantime because aside from this.............everything else is pretty darn great!!!
