I had off work today. It was lovely! I ran to the gym (yep, ran) 3.15 miles and then worked with Hector. I liked the run, work out, run format. I ran home after Hector kill my arms for a total of 6.3 mile, plus an hour of weight training.

I went to see Hector today. After a good stretch he we did EVERYTHING, including a whole lot of arms. I need to get to bed sooner or something, because after he gets through with me I just don't want to run. :(

Today at the gym I was so unfocused. When I'm not feeling well, I have a hard time balancing having a life, recovering and working out. I went out with Danielle last night and had a beer (yes, just one). And I was home around 11:30. I probably should have been in bed earlier...but I like seeing people. I'm still stuffy. Come on, cold--go away already!!
Anywho, I started on the treadmill, but I was weaving. And due to my fear of being shot off one of those things, I moved to the elliptical for a total of 4 miles. I'm glad that I didn't know my mileage totals for the week, because I probably would have pushed for 6 if I had known what I really should have been doing. But I did the first on the treadmill at an 11:19 and the last 3 on the elliptical at a 12:00-ish pace. It seemed so hard today. I just wasn't feeling it.
Then John kicked all our asses...and by all I mean Danielle, Melissa and I. It was an arms to failure day. I hate that. "To failure" really bothers me. I just get more and more pissed off and frustrated. I could feel myself holding back tears at several points during the work out. Not because I was in pain, but because my body was just tired and my brain wanted to force it to keep going and it just wouldn't go.
I did 25 minutes of yoga before I went to bed. I really need to get back in to the habit of doing that!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't believe it's almost 50 degrees on a morning in early February!!!
This morning was 7 miles on the Lakefront Path. I am still congested, but not so badly that I couldn't run. 7 miles in 1:21:34. It was a good run, but I'm pretty tired...it's time for a shower and a nap.

I've been to bed before 8:30 everyday this week, but I do feel like I'm on the mend. I saw Hector for some stretching and an arm/core day. It was a really good work out. The work out was good, but I was pretty tired after it, and could only do a mile :( (Julia, this is where you insert words of encouragement!!)
The only reason that I made it passed 8:30 tonight is that I got sucked in to Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

I met Hector today. I'm still draggin'. We did lower back and some other stuff. I didn't run. I came home, I showered, and I'm going to bed.

I went to Melissa's gym today to work out with her and John. I probably should have slept, because after we got home I needed a nap before I could drive home.
We started with hill intervals. I lost track of total time, but we started with the treadmill at 5.0 and a 3.5 pace. Then we sprinted for 60 seconds at 6.0, 6.5, and 7 with the 3.5 recovery in between. Last we did 7.5 and 8.0 for 30 seconds, but I could barely hold on for those. It was a total of 1.15 miles. Next was step ups, and side squats followed by squats and, as Melissa calls them "Jesus Christ's".
John made me go home with out doing cardio. I was thinking about trying to do 4 more so I could have gotten the 5 mile run in for the week. But I think the nap was a better idea.
