i need to stretch

Ugh what a run! Oh how I hate wind!!! I was SSOOO tired and just sluggish. I had to keep stopping and had to walk parts of this run. I'm really hoping this was just a bad run and not a glimpse into how all of my runs will be.

Glad I got my miles in this morning--it's supposed to rain this afternoon. Aerobics (it was actually a really hard workout today) and some more free weights at home. I wasn't feeling it on my run today. I'm emotionally burned out with running....is that bad? Yes it is:)

Took Grant out tonight in the stroller. I'm just not feeling it this week. It's been so crazy windy lately! I'm supposed to do 10 miles tomorrow but a part of me just wants to skip this run and stretch the heck out of my hammies. I know, I know that's a horrible choice but it's true. I'm kind of in a mental block right now with a lot of things and I think a few days of rest/crosstraining might help---probably not but it's worth a shot;)

Oh I also lifted at the gym...3 sets of 8 reps for upper body 

3 miles before aerobics. Lifted this evening, about 3 sets of 8 for upper body. 5 planks for a minute each.

David has been getting up and working out in the mornings. It's motivating for me to see him. Yesterday I focused on strengthening my glutes/hips and I felt a lot better on this run. I'm still not as fast I would like but I felt like I could have gone longer and I didn't hurt during this run so that's always a plus!

Lifted weights this morning and decided to run on the treadmill. I didn't have a scheduled run so I only went a mile and then walked some. 

Oh the beauty of running with other people!!! I met up with Carolyn, Michelle, Michelle and Allie this morning for a 14 mile run. I loved having other people to talk with and distract me:) It was fun to be on a new route too! I'm excited to keep running with them. I had to run an extra mile to get my miles in for the week. Grant is napping now I'm thinking that would be a great idea for me too;)

Nice run this morning-I'm happy with my times. I had aerobics after and now I really need to focus on strengthening my legs/hips/bum.

My hip flexors are really really sore for some odd reason. Seems like there is always something  funky going on with my body! I was able to push out 4 miles-my shins also started hurting a little and that is never a good sign! I'm hoping to go to the gym tonight and lift, we'll see how the night pans out!

 p.s. is there anything worse than running in the wind? Yes wind mixed with cold rain!  

Crazy week! Ran 3 miles with David. It was SO fun! 

4 miles during lunch. This week is going to be crazy so I hope I can get most of my runs in! 

This started out as a decent run but around 7.5 my left ankle just started killing me! We're going out of town tomorrow so I was wanting to get in my long run (12) today but I just had to come home and ice my foot. I'm getting discouraged about this race.
