Run: 3 miles
Time: Didn't wear a watch
Mood: Strong to moderately strong
I have to keep reminding myself that even though I'm not running 26.2 miles, I'm still running 6.2. Which I think I mentally scoff at since I did the 10-miler. But it's still a good chunk of pavement to cover.
I've been running once a week or so, still going to the gym and taking spin classes and Body Pump and whatnot - hence the lack of posts. But I need to ramp up the running this month. Race is at the end of October, and I want to beat my time from last year.
Came home from work tonight and did 3 miles with Jessie. We were only going to do two, but when we came to the cutoff, we both felt good enough to keep going. The last hill was a bit brutal, but the downhill was nice.
3 miles down, and now 3 pages to write for class tomorrow. Banzai!

Labor Day Weekend
After spin on Friday, I pretty much took a gym hiatus until Monday evening. At which point I called the gym to check their holiday hours, and discovered that they closed in 35 minutes! I threw on my gym clothes and ran across the street and got in a solid 25 while watching a show about how Rolls Royces are made. In case you're wondering, they are made very expensively.
I got up a schlepped across the street for BodyPump this morning, where I took my weight down just a tad so I am able to walk tomorrow and the day after. It was still brutal.
Tomorrow morning, methinks a spin class. Or a run. Shouldn't forget about the running.

It's Friday!
Good morning class,
Welp, I popped out of bed at 5:30 this morning to make it to the 5:45 spin class - where I proceeded to sweat my a$$ off. It was amaaaazing. I haven't taken a spin class in years, so I was a little rusty. But you'd be surprised how quickly you remember the hand positions. And the pain the seat causes your rear. Ow.
I snagged a Gatorade on my way out to class and was done with the whole thing about halfway through class. Then I checked the calories...220 for the bottle!
I hope I worked off more than that.
Spin class + spinach wrap + skinny vanilla latte = an awesome morning!
P.S. Yesterday was a rest day. And I can finally walk normally again. The only remaining soreness is really my triceps. Get it.
