I Feel Hardcore

I did it!  I got out of bed at 7:30am (with the help of a wake up call and coffee delivery by my awesome husband) to go running.  It’s not that 7:30 is an early rise but when you’ve got the day off and it’s 35 degrees out at that hour it can be a little hard to motivate.

I did not, however, do 8 miles.  I cleverly planned a route that started with Kath and Matt leaving their house, running 1.5 miles to our house, picking us up, running nearly 5 together, then splitting for them to complete a total of 8 and Tate and I 5.  Since Kath ♥’s the hills there was many an incline!  (Sorry Kath!)

Once we got moving the temperature didn’t bother me at all, in fact I liked it.

As soon as we got home I hit the mat for some yoga.  I did about 20 minutes of this flow, with a few additions.  MISSION: Yoga 5 for 5 is going great.  Last week I did one class, three dvd’s, and one self-led practice.  This week I plan on two self-led practices, two dvd’s, and a podcast.  I have never tried a yoga podcast but I have heard lots of great reviews of Dave Farmer so I think I will start there.

I didn’t realize it was going to frost so hard last night and I feel like a jerk for leaving my little baby greens out!

They are probably done for.  Shoot.

Off to play in the sunshine!  Tate and I have a big day planned of scenic driving, hiking, and wine tasting.

Moving Day

Oh boy, today is going to be a long one.

The alarm is set for 7:15am but Tate was up at 6:30 “too excited to sleep, it’s like Christmas morning”.  And he wanted to talk about truck packing strategies at that hour.  Just. A. Few. More. Minutes. Sleep.  I certainly appreciate his enthusiasm though ;).

And now I am up, slurping coffee from my new china

My two sisters, niece, and I hit the thrift stores yesterday and I walked away with a set of 4 of this china (much prettier in real life than this poor picture!) and 2 dresses for a whopping $3.90 total.  West Virginia is cheap, I will give it that.

I almost took yesterday as a rest day but at the last minute (actually 6:50pm) my brother and I jogged up to the track and did a fast and furious 25 minute workout.  10 minute warm-up, 10 minutes of sprints, 5 minute cool-down and home just as the enchiladas were coming out of the oven :).  Ben is really fast but he doesn’t have great endurance so we compliment each other well (he’s a quintessential 18 year old boy, runs hard and fast until he can’t anymore!  Pacing oneself comes a bit later in life…).

My 4 runs this week were “supposed” to be at least 35 minutes so I am not sure whether this one will count towards the 4 or not.

Today is a rest day. Well, sort of.  We will be in the truck for close to 7 hours total but there will also be brief spurts of heavy lifting, 2 couches, 2 beds, a dresser,etc. loaded and unloaded.  Humm, maybe it’s a two cup morning!

Gotta go buy a house!
