FRIday!!!

3 miles. Not my best run. I was COLD!!! On my way OFF the track my butt was STILL freezing!!! I was also a little tired... which was exasperated by the cold! However, it was not my worst run. I still enjoyed it, I observed my fatigue, I also observed that maintaining the conversational speed was a challenge. My body wanted to go faster, I believe this is because it wanted to get warmer! My MP3 player was all charged up, which helped me get my speed back down when my breath became reactive.

I remember when I was training for this race, the first time. Every single day after the 2nd week of traing it felt like my buns and thighs were constantly on fire (even while I slept). This morning's chill actually had me looking forward to that.

An hour of yoga with Deni Preston. While I wanted to jump into RESTORATIVE, I felt that Basic Flow would benefit me more today. So I denied myself, and felt a lot better after doing so. The Yoga warmed me up while my space heater ran. If I had done restorative I would have remained chilly. So Basic Flow was a better choice.

I added my own poses into the program, as some of the instruction on how to get into poses I don't need anymore and takes up time. Why waste the time waiting, when I can use that time for another stretch or pose? That's what I mean! So extras were added.

I need to figure out what takes so long in my mornings... getting everything done, including typing the posts up, is taking me (what I consider to be) too long. I know it's a 20 min drive one way to the track... so that takes time. And when I get home I take out the dogs, care for whomever is up already, sometimes get the boys outside to their chores, etc... but I need to figure out how to get it all finished before 8 am. That would make me happy. I'm gonna give myself a little time to figure this out, and with little ones I don't expect perfection everyday. But taking until 9 to get into my morning shower is not acceptable. So I'll think on it, and get a plan of some kind and begin to apply. Because if I feel this takes too long to document, I'll stop... which will dminish my focus on training... it's adomino effect from there as you can see. That is also NOT acceptable. So I'll just make it work. *smile* it's all a process!

Thank you again for reading.
