Non-wobbly yoga

The rain has stopped but the temperature dropped and is hanging out around 40 degrees. I guess it was bound to happen sometime – December starts tomorrow afterall.

Lunch is Annie’s Bernie Os with some veggies and fruit on the side. Though it’s a boring lunch, it is warm and hearty.Last night in the cold rain I got myself to heated yoga. It felt great to sweat and work my arms. I hit a lot of the balancing poses too. I don’t know if I was more focused or what but I did much better at them than I have in the past. I’m usually super wobbly.

Unfortunately I had to leave right before we started savasana, but fortunately it was to meet my parents and the hubby for dinner at a local Mexican place. I love mexican beans and rice. I came out of dinner feeling pretty stuffed and full.

Tonight plan is to run for 30 minutes and dinner wise I think we’re gonna be making Pittsburgh sandwiches.

Planned workouts this week:
Monday – Run 30 min
Tuesday – Heated Yoga 60 min
Wednesday – Run 30 min
Thursday – EA Active arms n abs (I haven’t done this in forever, I need to get back at it)
Friday – Zumba 60 min, Run 30 min
Saturday – Run longer than 30 min
Sunday – Rest

Interesting note: I’m finding having this running “list” of my workouts and publishing it out there every day is helpful and motivating. At least for the time being. I love crossing things off of a list.

Two days til the weekend.

Rainy Tuesday

Ew, its cold and rainy outside today.

Luckily I got in a 30 minute run last night. Check that one off the list!

Planned workouts this week:
Monday – Run 30 min
Tuesday – Heated Yoga 60 min
Wednesday – Run 30 min
Thursday – EA Active arms n abs (I haven’t done this in forever, I need to get back at it)
Friday – Zumba 60 min, Run 30 min
Saturday – Run longer than 30 min
Sunday – Rest

I was out running by 5pm in my reflective vest to get as much of it done before it got super dark as possible. I ran the most random path last night – trying to stay on sidewalks (which are sparse in our neighborhood) since it got dark about 10 minutes in. If I had used my garmin it probably would have looked like a bunch of overlapping circles. There was only so many places to go – haha.

Dinner last night was boring, leftover thanksgiving “turkey” and stuffing and leftover alfredo spinach lasagna. Tonight I think we’ll actually have to cook something again.

After dinner I curled up on the couch and watched the Sing Off finale while eating a sugar cookie bar and drinking a cup of sugar cookie tea (from Celestial Seasons – their holiday flavors). It was nice. And I won’t say the winner in case you’re still catching up, but I definitely feel that the right group won. They were the most talented, had the most potential for selling records, and you could just tell how much it meant to them.

Enjoy your Tuesday – stay dry if it’s raining near you. And if it’s not, I’m jealous.

Back at it

Back to work!

At least I attempted to holiday-ify my cube with this little USB powered Christmas tree.

I found it when I was going through our Christmas decorations this weekend and thought it would be the perfect addition to my cube!

I’m off of a running training plan right now since the 10k was Thursday and my next big race isn’t until May. So I’m going to focus on getting in 6 quality workouts a week – I usually only end up getting in 5 or 4.

My workouts this week:
Monday – Run 30 min
Tuesday – Heated Yoga 60 min
Wednesday – Run 30 min
Thursday – EA Active arms n abs (I haven’t done this in forever, I need to get back at it)
Friday – Zumba 60 min, Run 30 min
Saturday – Run longer than 30 min
Sunday – Rest

whew.

I’m excited because on Sunday I’m volunteering at a local half marathon. I’m really looking forward to giving back to the running community and be a part of the race experience without the anxiety of being one of the runners.

Enjoy your Monday!
