why so tired ?

I did spin last night and was so happy i got some exercise in.

This am I did not get to the gym - i have some free time and figure i will run outside in this fall weather. the problem is - i believe i could lie down and sleep for 4 hours. I feel foggy and tired. WHy ? sometimes I don't understand why i can feel so tired. I am going out on a limb here - i did a 5pm workout which my body doesn't normally do and I ate fast food for dinner - so I have no good stuff in me.....i probably need to see the connection.

I had my oatmeal and fruit for bfast and for an early lunch snack i had a boiled egg and whole wheat toast. i plan on running at 1pm. I am fighting every urge to lie down on the couch.

I know I will enjoy the run and feel so good after it.

walk

I am tired today, halloween hupla....i am sure i could do a run today but part of me wants to nap while i have my free hour. then i though, why not just take a walk, you know, i don't have to run, but i can get out and get the fresh air and some light exercise.

but the guilt would set in, why i wasn't running, if i could get out and walk, i might as well run ?

can runners just talk a walk ???

help me decide what workout to do ...

today i did not go to boot camp, sometimes hubby being home just doesn't pan out like i think it will.

So tomorrow i want to workout, i feel like the easiest thing to do is go for a run at some point. But i checked the gym and they have a basic yoga class at 8 - which i really have wanted to TRY and get into, and then they also have some sweat shop class - so i could get my boot camp in. what to do ??? yoga ? run ? boot camp ? of course i am fully aware that I will probably NOT get up and out for the classes but one never knows right ??

oh part of the decision is due to my shin REALLy bothering me and i am going to have to go and get myself a torture massage on it.

shoudl i add that i had 3 buttercrunch cookies (remember those packs with 3 cookies in it from lindens ?? love them) and then a take 5 ...cleary i am having hormones ...

wait to swim after you have eaten

we remember that rule right ? i don't believe anyone follows that anymore.

We wound up sleeping in late today, i turned my alarm OFF instead of the snooze. So I missed my running class. I am bummed, but I can run today and I am not beating myself over it. However, the tricky part is that I just eat lunch now b/c after i run i won't have time for a while to eat and I knew I would need more than my bfast which was hours ago. However, I also feel like I might be running to close to having just eaten. Do you time your eating before working out ?

It is easy when I do a morning workout b/c i have my oatmeal and then workout - nothing to worry about. But when I have to run in the afternoon or night it throws me off. There is actually a 10k we like to do out where my inlaws live and the race starts at 5pm ??? I get all crazy about my eating and timing.

lifestyle

exercise is finally a lifestyle for me, so today when i decided NOT to exercise today due to a late night and a nice glass of wine, i don't have to feel like i failed, i know that tomorrow i will exercise and the next....and so on. b/c it is lifestyle.

when did exercise become part of your life forever

life is a beach.....

this was the view on my 4 mile run today ...not too shabby huh ?

I had 2 hours while kids where in school, due to the gorgeous weather I needed a change in my running ...so i drove the 10 minutes to the beach and ran on the boards. So so nice. Other folks were dressed as if it was the artic, but i was in shorts and a tank and got 4 miles done.

4 miles in 38.37

mile 1 -9.49

mile 2 -9.37

mile 3 -9.19

mile 4 -9.49

I was going for a tempo run trying to get my 2 miles in btw to be faster than the first and last. However, mile 2 was against the wind most of the way and it was rough. I feel so blessed to be able to leave close to such beauty.

Last chili batch I made was not it's normal delish ?? I am getting bored on the cooking front and need something new and yummy !!!!

tomorrow boot camp.....goal ....focus on form and give 8lbs a try as opposed to the 5 lbs of having been using for dumb bells.

no workout weekend

I didn't work out this weekend and I am ok with that. Yesterday was full of family stuff. Today was clean house for an open house, we played tag team with the girls - he had them, then i had them, now he has them. Yesterday didn't seem to work well, today worked well. go figure.

I planned my week of workouts and I am looking forward to 3 days of running and 2 days of boot camps. Thinking of signing up for a 5k on nov 28th. I am feeling less pressure and not making it that i have to have a PR.

Thinking of making butter cookies OR thumbprint ?

these hoarding shows are crazy scary.
