Live Well Laugh Often Love Much Run Fast

Its Cold - burrr!!!  

Its still cold here.  I did Yoga then rode the stationary bike (inside, nice and warm)

Rode the bike, did Yoga then ran.  IT and hamstring feeling better.  I want to do Painters 5k!!

Did Yoga and rode the bike -ran out of time to run before work.  I WILL run tonight, if not I am going to have to join a different blog :)

I was so excited to post my Saturdays run UNTIL I just used the course tool and found out I only ran 1.7 before my knee started hurting.  I walked until 2.5 - so even with walking I didnt go 5k - Im so bummed!!

Did Yogo and rode the bike. 

After meeting a lot of northern runners this weekend prior to Painters, I feel inadequate being on this runners blog.  However, I get a lot of inspiration from everyone and one day when I finish a race, you all can say "I knew her when..."   Im still having constant pain with my hamstring, it feels like I have a wooden leg. My husband wants me to go to the doctor, but he will just tell me to stay off it and stretch, so I havent gone.  

Beautiful morning here is STG.  It must have rained during the night, the streets were a little wet.  It was a warm 50 degrees, it felt and smelled like a spring morning. 

Reevaluated my goals due to my "injury".  I have to get my head on straight and get out and move around.  I am gaining weight as I type!!

With my leg hurting, I didnt even attempt to run, did Yoga then went on a 2 mile walk.  Stretched a lot after wards.  Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are my days to be outside before work either walking or running.

I take my big American Bull dog with me in the mornings, this morning we were on our usual route when she spotted a rabbit. She took off like a bullet, dragging me along, we must have been at a 4 min mile pace for over a 100 yards,before I got her to stop.  I only out weigh her by about 35 pounds so it took every ounce of me to stop her. What an adventure.  We ended up on another street than I normally dont take but Im sure I still got my mile run in AND my mile walk.

Did AM/PM Yoga afterwards- it helps when I get up on time, I can accomplish a lot more before work.

I cant explain my exhaustion!  This morning as I laid in bed, thoughts of my blogging friends went through my head; If they can run 10+ miles everyday, then I can run 1 mile today. I got up and ran a mile.  Walked a block warm up and a block cool down, did half my Yoga DVD.  

Im sticking to Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday no matter the pain or lack of energy.

Got a Pilates DVD from the Library yesterday.  Its a 40 minute workout, but broke down into 4, 10 minute work outs.  Depending on what time I roll out of bed, depends on many segments I can get through.  Today was a short and sweet 10 min.   

I took advantage of the Beautiful weather here in STG and spent most of the day outside.  Before my runs I usually dont have/make time for a warm up, but today I walked over a half mile before I ran my 1.5 mile loop.  I think it really helped stretch my leg out before I ran , I'll need to do more of that this week.  Also went on a leisure bike ride with my husband and one of my sons. Great day!
