thanks, my friend

I didn't post at all this week, but I kept with the schedule. Running was harder for me this week though for some reason. My knee has been giving me a little trouble so I've been working on alignment in yoga and in the walking portions of my runs (and the running part too, but it's a little harder to focus).

I have recently fallen in love with the stairmaster in the far corner of the gym by the track. It's like real stairs. Other stairmasters and me just don't get along. I tend to sink, but this one is literally like climbing stairs and I can read my book while on it.

I'm also loving my yoga class and actually feel like I'm getting better at it. It's all going well so far. I am nervous/excited to start running outside again. The track and the treadmill are so definitive about how far you need to go to be "done." I'm going to need so good routes with mileage come springtime.

You Rock

Hey Miss.

Just wanted to tell you that you are doing an awesome job. Great work. I soooo appreciate the hard work and commitment it takes to do what you're doing. Keep it up.
I have been getting up at 5:15 and working out five days a week. It's a little pansy ass, but at least I'm keeping the schedule. I'm not running at all right now so when I return in April I will be starting essentially from scratch. I'm not to concerned as I will still have all of May & June, but it will definitely be an adjustment and could be a touch frustrating. Anyway. Keep on keepin' on. You rock Miss Q.

five miles

So I haven't run five miles in quite a long time. And it took, well, quite a long time. I did it in increments of .5 miles by 10 with two laps of walking in between. So including walking I actually went about 7.5 miles. It was good. I did abs and arms after and now am pooped.
