Once again, did not get up in the early morning hours to run.  Gotta stop relying on my hubby to set the alarm and get us both up.  I woke up and looked at the clock - it was 6:15; too late for a morning run.  However, I was still going to run today, I was determined!

Thought about running the kids to school this morning.  Then, my 11 year old needed me to carry his clarinet for him; his backpack was too full.  Running and carrying a clarinet case do NOT go hand in hand, so I biked the kids to school and came home.  

Did Jillian level 3 this morning - oh, she kicks my butt!!  But, it felt great!  I'm starting to love this level, even though it's the hardest.  Lot of core strengthening in it.  Kept an eye on the weather outside ( it was in the 30's again this morning, but supposed to be 70 today), and when it got a bit warmer, ran behind the 5 year old while he road his bike.  Run wasn't so great, but glad I did it.  Somehow, I've hurt my foot, so stepping on the heel hurts.  Kinda makes running hard, but I just had to run through the pain.  Plus, I was tired from already working out, and not much breakfast.  So, it was a little rough.

WW - still doing good.  I'm actually not struggling as much as I thought I would.  I'm down 2 pounds since Monday (must be a lot of water weight), and I'm really feeling pretty good.  I find that if I save enough points, I like to have a cup of hot chocolate at night.  It helps curb the sugar cravings :)  Especially since it's the only treat I allow  myself all day.  Quite a change from engorging on holiday goodies, eh?  

Tomorrow, tempo run. . .
