Yesterday Rob did not want me to run in the morning fog. It was seriously thick and the traffic report was filled with nasty accidents. I asked if I could run over his lunch since I had no child care after 1 PM. I ran 7 miles and it either took me longer than I originally planned, the lights at the intersection were longer than I thought or Rob & I were looking at different clocks. I thought I was gone only 70 minutes but he said it was closer to 90. Not convenient for him but he is able to work from home and Kara doesn't need a lot of supervision. I still felt bad though. I ran all through the Sunnyslope and Salem Heights neighborhood which has the massive hills. I still had to take walk breaks on some of the hills, but I ran more uphill than I did on Saturday.
Today the Spartan workout was not intense as Monday. We did way more push ups and clean and press which I don't think is as strenuous. Jackie did say that my glutes and hamstring are very tight which is why I can't get a full range of motion. She booked me for a free flexibility training session next week and also taught me some stretches I can do at home. I need to restart yoga. I found a great app that is not like the You Tube videos I was getting very bored with. I cannot go to Centergy right now...just can't fit it into the training schedule. So I need to discipline myself to do yoga at least 2-3 times a week. I do hate being so tight and I can feel it when I run up hills. It's like I dragging sand bags.
Friday is my last day of Spartan and I am quite sad. I may try to do another month this spring. I am not sure how my February workout schedule will be. It's different now that swimming is on Thursdays which cuts out morning Group Power. If I want to do Power I can only go Wednesday or Friday early evening or Saturday morning. With basketball on Saturdays until March, that makes scheduling tough. On a good week I could see it looking like this: Monday = Short Run Tuesday = Track Run Wednesday = Ride Thursday = Swim Friday = Ride and/or late afternoon Power Saturday or Sunday = Long Run I know things will switch around a lot because if I can do Saturday Power, I prefer that over the late afternoon.
I have been back on MFP two and a half days and I already feel like my eating is not all over the place. I am still hungry all the time, but it feels less out of control.
My sleep has been great the last two nights. I wake up feeling very rested.
