Did the sprint workout this morning.  Let myself sleep in and did it after the kids were in school.  Our flight got in an hour later last night so we were exhausted.  It felt good to finally run again this morning.  We never did go on Saturday, too much to do, unfortunately.  So, the exercise felt great after all the eating and sitting of the weekend!

3 easy this morning.  Tired because I stayed up late watching a STUPID movie last night.  But, got through and then did Jillian.  Starting to feel like I'm catching up to level 2 :)   It is so much more intense than level 1, but today I finally felt like I wasn't dying so bad.  That's a good sign :)  Just found out I'll be able to do it again on Thursday this week, my kindergarten volunteering got cancelled so I won't have to hurry as quickly that morning - YEAH!!!

3 easy on the treadmill this morning.  Then on to Jillian's level 2 workout.  Hoping for a decent long run this weekend.  Will be out of town again, unfortunately, but shouldn't be too much of a problem to go for that run.  At least, the hubby promises if we stay over night at his sister's we can go for a long run on Saturday morning.  I would prefer to come home tomorrow night, but, as usual, when it's me against the father in law, I don't win.  Can't wait to move far away. . . :)

Ran  12 miles in 1:51 this morning.  I know, not my best, but all things considered. . .

The first half was mostly up hill, which meant the last half was down.  We were in Idaho so these were just back country roads.  Having not slept well the night before and not really thrilled about being there in the first place (among other things) I woke up on the wrong side of the bed (to say the least) and was just rip roarin' ready to go and work it out.  My husband ran with me, and bless him, he knew to just let me go at my own pace.  I cranked the music up loud and took off.  By the end of the 12 miles, I was feeling a little better :)  

After the run, we got cleaned up and took the kids sledding in the mountains.  So, add hiking up the hill several times to my workout today, too :)  Had a good time and I'm still surprised nobody broke anything. . . :)

Glad this weekend is over and I can go home to my own life now.
