Monday, March 8th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some days I go back and forth on how I want to handle Monday mornings.\u00a0 Sometimes I’m very get-up-and-go while other times I would like some extra sleep.\u00a0 Today sort of fell in between the two.\u00a0 I wanted to sleep in but once I woke up this morning, I wanted to be up and get things moving.<\/p>\n

I did two levels of shred (level 2 and 3) and that was it, no extra weight sessions for me this morning.\u00a0 My legs were tired!\u00a0 Although after my 10 miles yesterday they were not as tired as I assumed they would be.\u00a0 I was still able to get through the shred with no issues.\u00a0 However going up and down steps right now I can tell they are a bit fatigued.\u00a0 Will have to see how that pans out for my run tomorrow.<\/p>\n

We’ve been having sun the last few days here and it’s been wonderful!\u00a0 The outdoor hose has thawed enough that I was able to give the birdies clean water this morning.\u00a0 And most of the snow has melted in the backyard so that now we can see most of our lawn.\u00a0 The best part is that we were able to find Rocky’s lost bootie!<\/p>\n

When we first started getting hit with these huge snow storms, Rocky was out back romping around and he lost a bootie.\u00a0 We didn’t realize it till after Scott started making paths for him to walk around which meant that Scott shoveled snow on top of his bootie.\u00a0 It was totally lost.\u00a0 Today I found it!\u00a0 Now it just needs a good scrub.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, March 9th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cranked out five miles and called it good.\u00a0 The best part is having my running gloves back! :p\u00a0 I washed my gloves and then all of the sudden I had a glove missing!\u00a0 I looked everywhere but could not find it.\u00a0 I just assumed that dryer monster ate it and I was cranky about that.\u00a0 Then Monday night Scott was pulling out a pair of socks and my glove was wrapped up in his socks! Apparently I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing and folded my glove in with his sock.\u00a0 Whoops!\u00a0 Even though I don’t care for the gloves much, they are my running gloves and I wanted them back! :lol:<\/p>\n

Wednesday, March 10th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh Spring, I love you but can do without all the rain.\u00a0 It was the start of the rain we would see for the rest of the week.\u00a0 I was actually dressed for my run and was just waiting for it to get a bit lighter outside when it started pouring.<\/p>\n

Curses!<\/p>\n

I trudged back upstairs and changed into different clothes and kicked it with some shred instead.\u00a0 Level 2 and 3 of shred and called it a day.<\/p>\n

Thursday, March 11th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn’t raining yet and I headed out for an awesome long run.\u00a0 I cranked out 8 miles and it was glorious!\u00a0 The sun was out and it was warm.\u00a0 In fact it was so warm that I was overdressed and slightly in the uncomfortable zone.\u00a0 The best part is that it’s lighter earlier and I was able to be done with that before 8am.\u00a0 Hoorah!<\/p>\n

I was dead tired though by the end of the day and so we stayed home and did not hit conditioning class.<\/p>\n

Friday, March 12th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest day! Rest day!\u00a0 I went out and about with FF.\u00a0 We went to breakfast and then shopping.\u00a0 I got a lovely pair of black flats at TJ Maxx and then she dropped me off at Filene’s.\u00a0 I got a great pair of mary jane type tennis shoes that will be great for summer.\u00a0 They are blue and gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 13th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ended up being an impromptu rest day.\u00a0 Originally I was going to run a 5K that morning with FF but oh my gosh it started raining and wouldn’t quit.\u00a0 It was pouring rain like crazy! And it rained all freaking day long.\u00a0 I was still really exhausted and my body was tired so instead of working out, I went back to bed and chilled the rest of the day.\u00a0 It was amazing and I didn’t even change outta my jammies. :D<\/p>\n

Sunday, March 14th:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I was going to do my long run this morning but Mo’ Nat had other plans. I really wanted to get a long run in, I’m ready to do another 10!\u00a0 However it was raining this morning when I got up.\u00a0 I went back to bed.\u00a0 Yes this weekend is all about me and my bed!\u00a0 When I got back up it was still raining so I busted out my new Jillian DVD, No More Trouble Zones.<\/p>\n

Shit that was rough!\u00a0 The first circuit is all shoulder stuff and it killed me.\u00a0 GAH!\u00a0 The rest is challenging but totally doable.\u00a0 I got it at Target during the week along with a set of 10lb weights.<\/p>\n

I loved it and felt amazing once I was done.\u00a0 I really do love strength training (actually I just love working out) and am glad that I’m incorporating it more into my week.\u00a0 However I do miss the calories burned total! When you do cardio you burn a good bit of cals.\u00a0 The longer the carido and the higher your HR<\/abbr> that you maintain for an extended period of time means more cals burned.<\/p>\n

With strength, it’s not like that because you don’t have the high cardio level.\u00a0 I do like how there is cardio and strength mixed in the Shred DVD.\u00a0 Trouble Zones has a little bit of cardio in the beginning but the rest is strength and core workouts.\u00a0 When I was done with the workout and saw that I only burned 280 cals I was a little bummed.\u00a0 I’m trying to come to terms with that is how strength training works.\u00a0 And that just because the cal amount isn’t high doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything.\u00a0 I still worked it!<\/p>\n

Goals for this upcoming week is to definitely get more running in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
