First time back running since the marathon.  Immediately after the race, we went home, showered, packed up and drove 24 hours to Houston.  I know, not the smartest thing to do after a marathon!  However, we actually were okay, stiffness-wise.  We stopped every couple of hours, and, after the initial getting out of the car, walked around for a minute, then were okay.  By Monday morning, I was hardly sore at all.  Amazing!

No time to run in Houston, flew home on Wednesday, and packed running gear to take to Idaho.  However, it was FREEZING up there.  And, I was a wuss.  I planned on running on Friday, but it was too cold.  So, then I thought I'd go later in the day, but we ended up having a lively game of kickball with the kiddos that afternoon, so I counted that as my exercise :)   Saturday, I was just plain lazy.  

So, now we come to this morning.  Back home, back to routine, back to exercise.  Ran my sprints on the treadmill this morning.  Could definitely tell I hadn't run in over a week!  But, I made it through and it sure felt good to get those endorphins back again!  Hoping the weather cooperates some this week so I can get outside more instead of on the treadmill.

Ran 3 easy on the treadmill this morning.  It's the end of April and it's snowing outside. . . BOO!!!  Can't wait to just get outside for good!  Followed it up with Jillian.  Haven't done her for 2 weeks now, and boy, it showed!  I struggled this morning, especially with the upper body stuff.  I'm also fighting a cold, so I'll just blame it on that, shall I?? ;)

Did tempo run on the treadmill this morning.  Only ran for 45 minutes instead of the hour I usually do since I debated too long about whether or not to get up this morning and ran out of time :)  Still feeling fatigued, I'm sure it's partly from the cold, partly just from running the marathon a week ago.  On the bright side, it's getting easier to get up in the morning since the sun is coming up earlier :)  And, while it was cold this morning, at least it wasn't snowing.  Here's hoping the weather will warm up soon :)

Decided to sleep in this morning and run after the kiddos were at school.  Of course, this meant no Jillian, but. . .that's okay :)  After Tuesday, I wasn't in the mood.  

I ran at a 6.5 for 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning.  Then, I decided to mow the lawn.  That could take the place of Jillian this morning, right?  Oh my gosh!  Let me tell you what a chore that was!  Let's just say that I think it very much equaled or surpassed Jillian this morning.  Glad it's done, if only it wasn't going to rain/snow again tomorrow. . .
