Morning p90x stretch. Finished week 2!! Hooray!!
In the pm, I went for a walk with MR and enjoyed all the pear tress in blossom. They look so pretty, but smell soooo bad. I spotted a few azaleas blossoming too. I'm so glad spring is here.
I'm also glad I found this handy booklet for future child rearing directions:

I am so glad I've got seminary help again this week. I had time to run 2.14 miles before I had to get busy on my first day of week 3 P90X.
It was chest & back. I can't be sure, but I've almost convinced myself that I actually felt some muscles engaging when I was doing pull-ups today. And thanks to MR, I even did it with my legs straight (so there)!
The ab ripper was super tough today. I wonder if running first (even though it was minimal) made it harder. I nearly quit on the crunchy frog, and my bicycles were more like bigwheels stuck in mud. I felt like this:
hope to get a pm run in later with Wyatt.- We were able to meet at a local park and run the armory road (a quiet stretch of road without too many pear trees blooming). We ran a total of 4.11 at a pretty slow pace. It was so nice to have a sunny run and talk together. Looking forward to more afternoon runs with Wyatt. |

I seem to have trouble sleeping the night before plyo. I think it psyches me out. Got it done by 5:10 so I could do the seminary run today. I felt like my legs didn't have their ususal strength, but it's probably from running last night. That's what I'm guessing anyway.
Hope I can stay awake the rest of the day. | Comments(3) |

I got to sleep in until 4:30 today and it was magical. p90x shoulders & arms- then the ab ripper, which was considerably easier than Monday when I'd gone running before the workout.
Hope to run this pm.
Afternoon: Ran with MR around the hood. It was 83* here today, so the hot took me by surprise. Felt good to run with the sun on my shoulders, but the heat knocked my socks off. Avg pace 9:05. We walked a mile after so he could break in his new shoes, and I ran across the front yard, .03 miles in my vibrams just for fun. But I counted it! |

Sleep and yoga X. Good morning. All the donuts at work- not so much. I feel better when I eat healthy, but I can't resist sweets!!
pm run- MR rode the bike. It was cooler than yesterday, but still nice & warm. The trouble is the pollen. It makes me light headed and feel woozy, kind of hard to breathe. My run was slow (yesterday's was fast for me), and I wanted to quit more than once, but I kept on truckin' and actually gained some speed the last 2 miles. Paces were (around) 9:45, 9:59, 9:59, 9:58, 9:30, 9:11.
I was glad when it was over, and glad I'm getting a few more miles in this week. |

p90x legs & back with ab ripper. I did NOT want to do the ab ripper today. I did some laundry after legs & back and had to go back to finish up. When I choose laundry over anything, you know it's something I don't want to do.
probably no running today- Saturday will be here before I know it.
I am more than 20% finished with p90x!! Today was day 19. | Comments(4) |

Just had to sleep in. Just had to do it.
When I got up, I had a tasty sweet potato pancake breakfast and then did kenpo x. I won't eat before doing that again- not a good idea, although if there was one food that is delicious again & again, it would be sweet potato pancakes :-)
No time for a run- I chose family & errands & an hour+ of yardwork.
Saw The Lorax- cute movie!! | Comments(1) |
