So I wanted to have a short run before I tackle the 29km this weekend. Darty and I took off first thing and we got half way when I realized that Darty's paw was bleeding. So I took a detour and headed back to the apartment. It was a chilly morning, I had to wear mits! It probably ended up being almost 3km.

Not much on a Saturday morning that early. Later in the day we had snow!!! Who knew I'd move to Raleigh, NC and we'd get snow and about 2inches. Which puts this city to a grinding halt. They are bad drivers to begin with, adding snow to the mix is deadly.
No music today as I actually realized after I left that I'd forgotten it!

December 2nd, 2010 - 5km at the gym
Today I took Rowan to the gym and as I ran on the treadmill for the first time in months, she got to play in the awesome play park. I've forgotten how boring the treadmill is, her play park was way more exciting. The reason for the gym, I actually didn't have warm enough clothes for a 6:30am run. It was -8 this morning. Who'd a thought I would have needed long pants ???
View from the treadmill:
I hate it I hate it, but it needed to be done. My legs from yesterday's pump class were so sore. You also don't realize that you're sweating quite so much when you are outside, let alone having to deal with the smell of two other runners on either side of you. Nothing to really look at in the people watching department, but still got it done!
The Music:
Telephone - Glee
To Sir With Love - Glee
Footloose - Kenny Loggins
Jump - The Pointer Sisters
SOS - Rihanna
With You - Linkin Park
Talk Talk - Talk Talk
Losing My Religion - Glee
Faithfully - Glee
Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons
Bad Romance - Lady GaGa

December 1st, 2010 - 25 days to Santa and a Body Pump class!
Today I checked out my new gym. It's weird not being at Goodlife but the Golds Gym by Rowan's preschool will do just fine. It has all the basics including the Les Mills group exercise programs. Today I did Body Pump for the first time in months. I'm going to be so sore. I liked the instructor, she was great. It wasn't busy, it was a nice re-introduction and my muscles were screaming at me when I left. Tomorrow's run will suck!
View from the mat:
Well since it's been a while I felt a little like a newbie. Also since it's all in pounds and not kilo's too! I was staring at the weights doing the conversion in my head and just assummed the big, middle and small plates were close and of course they are, maybe slightly more. One thing I did notice was that I was the only one wearing Lululemon, not the fashion must have as it was in Ottawa that is for sure.
Tomorrow I run...if I can walk! :)
