The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

What a week!  This past week was my highest mileage week since October (not that that's saying much).  I finally feel like the lethargy that gripped me this winter is lessening.  Unfortunately, my body is resisting the extra movement, and I've got a few aches and pains today that remind me that I can't quite go from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds.

So, the Good from this week:   A really easy/good run on Thursday, and a few nice sunny, warm-ish days.  

The Bad:   A really crap run yesterday that left me feeling sore and achy, and then having to cut my "long run" short today due to the sore and achy from yesterday.  When you're limping by mile 4, you know it's just not gonna happen! 

The Ugly:  Snow.  It's coming.  Again.   Go ahead, ask me how I feel about that. 

Yup.  Just like Miss Detox says, I've HAD IT.   OFFICIALLY.  

But Spring IS coming.  Eventually.  We just have to hold on, right?  Right.  

Broken Record

I am so tired of complaining about this winter - I feel like it's all I ever do anymore!  Wednesday night we got a bunch of snow dumped on us, so I didn't get out for a run yesterday.  Last night, we got more snow, so the kids are home from school again today.  We're supposed to get more snow tonight and tomorrow.

When. Will. It. End???  I am OVER winter.  Blah.

On the other hand, my husband stayed home from work yesterday and we all cuddled on the couch and watched a movie together - something we rarely get to do all together.  And the kids got to play Xbox with their dad, which they love.   So I shouldn't really complain.  I'm just frustrated because I'd finally gotten back into a routine with my running, and now... blah.  Stupid winter.

But.  It's ok.  Onward and upward.  Or something.

AND! Today is Day 10 of the Burpee challenge and I have not skipped a single day or a single burpee! I did 15 last night, which means I have done 75 since the challenge started.  Only a few hundred to go! =)

Today's cross training exercise will be........ playing in the snow.  It counts, right?  I am NOT a "Whee! Let's play in the snow!" type of person, but .... I have kids.  Therefore, a snowman must be constructed.  I will try not to grimace the whole time.

Do you like winter?  If so.... what's wrong with you?? ;-)
