I'm Back!

It's been a long time since I blogged, but I'm still around! Enjoying reading everyone elses training stories and tips.... I have finally put together a training schedule that I think I can pull off at this stage in my life. Mon: run, Tue: bodypump, Wed: run, Thur:run, Fri: spin class, Sat:long run, Sun: rest. I couldn't even tell you exactly how far I've been running for the last few weeks, I've just been focusing on running a little farther with each run than the last and building my core and leg strength. I ordered the Jeff Galloway book that you guys suggested and have learned some cool stuff from that book. One was that I have really poor posture when I run. I definitely tend to lean forward and he says to stand straight like you are a puppet on a string. I've been focusing on that and think it's helping. I did buy a calendar just for my workouts so I can start keeping track of my mileage..it's time to get serious!

My biggest obstacle in training right now is that 3 of the 6 workouts I have planned are early morning before my hubby leaves for work. So that means that I have to pray the night before each early morning workout that noone wakes up: needing their asthma inhaler (Chloe), wanting a bottle (Sophie), wanting a drink of water (Hayden) or needing reassurance from a nightmare (pick any of the above children). It all tends to work out in the end I guess. I have to remember that 1 missed workout every now and then won't ruin my training.

Somebody, please name me!! I can't name myself...it's just too much pressure : )
