| | I feel great after taking the weekend to rest. I have a lot more energy then I did last week. This morning there was a bit of snow outside and my neighbor doesn't like running in snow so we had decided last night to go to the indoor track. We were to meet at 6:00. I sat in my car and waited but she didn't come and there were no lights on at her house so I left. I did the first two miles alone and then she showed up after having slept past her alarm. I guess a benefit of track running is that she was able to join me half way through. There is a boot camp that meets Mon, Wed, Fri at the Rec center. Today the instructor had them run 4 laps then do some strength training, then back for 4 more laps(the track is 13 laps for a mile). They came up to the track a few times and the competitiveness in me kicked in. I just had to pass all of them and couldn't let anyone pass me. This made me run pretty quick. There was one man who was pretty fast and I could only hold him off for one lap, then he passed me. Other than that, I was able to pass all of them(about 20 people). I know it is silly competition because they had been doing other exercises in between and looked really tired but still, I couldn't let the boot camp win, and they didn't.

| | Today was a COLD run. I am not sure what the exact temperature was, msn said 7°, it was the coldest I have felt while running this winter. I did get to try out my yaktrax for the first time. Unfortunately there is a lot of snow by my house but not as much on the main roads where we ran. So I got to see how it felt but had to run on a clear sidewalk for a lot of the run. I think I need to go take a hot shower and then jump in bed to warm up! |

| | I did a P90X workout today that was focused on shoulders, back, and arms. It was a nice workout because it was mostly weight lifting and not push-ups. I hate push-ups. I enjoyed working on my arms and visiting with my friend. |

| | I was very tired this morning when the alarm went off. I don't know how so many of you can get up at 4:00 and 5:00 to run! 6:00 always comes too early for me. I did the standard 4 mile route, it was so much warmer this morning. It felt nice and warm even though it was probably in the 20's. Compared to Tuesday's run, the temperature was a vast improvement. |

| | I met the running group at the trail this morning for 9 miles. It was a good run. The first half I had some weird abdominal pressure. It felt like I needed to pee, but I know I didn't. I am starting to feel more pregnant, I think that is what the pressure was. It finally went away between mile 3 and 4. Carolyn sped up for the last mile and then continued on 7 more miles. I just didn't have it in me to speed up for the last mile after already running 8 but it was still a strong finish, just not quite as fast as Carolyn, which is nothing new:) |
