Here we go again~

I slept in a bit this morning and was going to try to get out and run but the roads were covered with snow and I was not sure how far my lovely balance would take me so I opted to stay indoors:).  I walked on the TM at an incline and a brisk pace for a bit, ran a mile (still at an incline) and then walked it out to 2 whole miles (YAY KELLIE).  Then I did some weights and stretching for a total of about 45 minutes of workout time. I guess it's better then nothing right?!?

Just my usual Tuesday Morning strength training with Erin today!  I always love this workout and feel like it gets some good toning in!! I just started doing this video again about 5 weeks ago and the first time I did it, I could barely walk for 2 days.  Then, the next time I did it, I was sore also but now, I dont' get sore anymore after I am done so that is a good sign right???

I ran this morning!! I ran, I ran, I ran!!!!  And, I felt Good!! I felt good, I felt Good, I felt Good!!! * Really, it was kind of a funny morning :).  I got a text last night from my friend Heidi C. who essentially said that despite, Rain, snow, whatever, WE WERE RUNNING!!! So, when I woke up to snow covered roads and fluffy snow falling, I knew there were no excuses :) (Heidi would come and pull me out by my hair if needs be).  I got ready and then got a text from my other friend Heidi W asking what we were doing.  I text back telling her we were going but then Heidi C and I sat in front of Heidi W's house for 10-15 minutes waiting for her to come out:).  Apparently, she set her alarm clock wrong and so when she originally text, she had just gotten out of bed! IT was funny! Her brain was having a hard time getting warmed up in the dead of winter.  So, we started out our jaunt and about a mile in, Heidi W's foot slipped off the side of the road and she fell on right on her stomach!! It made me feel bad but she is a tough one and hopped right back up!! Thank goodness the fluffy snow cushioned her fall, but the fluffy snow is the very reason she fell in the first place so.......................I guess it was the culprit after all.  We kept going but the snow was in our face so we turned and went down a road we don't usually go on.  About a mile later, Heidi C, hit a slippery spot and fell down right on her hip! Ouch!!! Honestly, do we keep running at this point?!? We walked it out for a bit until we came to some more fluffy (non slippery) roads and then started back into running.  When we finally reached home (it felt like it took us forever), Heidi W and I decided to go down the road a bit further to tack on an extra mile putting us at a whole Whoppin 5 miles for the day but HEY, I FELT REALLY GOOD so I was HAPPY!!!!  Now, I know it had something to do with the slower pace due to the focusing on our feet work but that's okay! I did feel really bad that both Heidi's fell however, and hope they are feeling okay now that the day is going on!! I am sure me falling with my big old Buddha belly would have been quite the scene so I am sure glad that didn't happen!! It just made my day start OH so much better.  Did I mention my brother is coming into town today to visit?? It'll be the first time I have seen him, his wife and little boy in a year and a half and the first time meeting his new baby ever so I am pretty thrilled!!! Happy December 1st everyone! Yippee!

A measily 30  minutes of Pilates this morning!!  Not much~

5 mile square with the Heidi's this morning!! It wasn't as easy as Wednesday and I couldn't really breath!! But...........We'll stick with it though:).  My brother got in town Wednesday night and it's been a bit of a whirl wind marathon schedule but Oh so fun!! Nothing like spending time with family, especially when you haven't seen them for a year and a half!!! Love it!!!!

Early Baptism and then a full day with the family.  No exercising today:(
