taught spin wednesday morning, then followed up on thursday with a 4 mile run. the end of the week became very busy and really wore me out. finished up today with a very frustrating 5 mile run. i think the warmer weather, which i hate, this sinus trouble i've been having, on top of being exhausted has made the runs suck this week.

i will run tomorrow in hopes i will feel better.

ugh, my saturday run of 6 miles was an effort. i huffed and puffed and felt like the fat girl that had been on my back all week had brought a friend! i had planned to add a couple of miles at the end after vicki had to go, but i had nothing in me to do that. i went home and slept most of the morning. i took off sunday and did a lot more resting. hopefully this sinus trouble that has been bugging me is on its way out.

this morning, vicki and i had a great 4 mile run, and then i added another at the end and ran it as hard as i could. my legs felt great and my breathing was much easier. i'm hoping i might be sliding back to normal.

tonight, will teach spin, then do a weight workout.

after getting just 3 pitiful hours of sleep last night, i bailed on my 5:45 run this morning. i ended up getting in 4 solid miles, in the rain. i had wanted to do more today, but not in the cards. tomorrow, due to baseball and other plans, i will just teach my a.m. spin class.

ok, so i haven't posted my training in quite a while. i suffered a bad case of burnout, and i just needed to take a big step back from it all. i cut back to running 3 days a week, but added in some biking on my road bike as well as kelly's yoga class. it has seemed to light the fires again. i'm enjoying my workouts more, and actually looking forward to most of them.

last week, i ran a total of 20 miles and biked 30 in addition to teaching two spin classes, lifting weights and doing yoga. saturday, i ran a very solid 8 miles with kily and then jumped on the bike for 22. that wore me out pretty good, but i really enjoyed it. i hope to try more of that throughout the summer.

my plans for the summer are to work on my fitness using biking, spinning, weight training, and yoga as a compliment to my running. i also plan to keep running just 3-4 days a week and increase the intensity of at least 2 of those runs. i want to get my mojo back.

so, that's the story!
