It's 47 degrees outside! - updated

And BEAUTIFUL today, oh the sunrise looks amazing.  I was going to enjoy a run in it this morning, but decided to wait until afternoon when it will be perfect outside.  I can't wait - yay!  Question: I'm still really sore from working my abs out Sunday - should I work them out again today or wait until Thursday?


More later...

Okay so this afternoon after classes, Brandon asked me if I wanted to go to Sonic and I said, yes, but I'm going to run, so I'll meet you there.  What a fun run!  1) It was amazing out side, bright, sunny, 65 degrees, windy 2) I was running on these sidewalks through this wooded area between my apt and the area where Sonic is.  It was awesome and relaxing.  Then I did one set of 15 front, right, and left crunches on my exercise ball and a set of 15 leg lifts.  I don't think I could have done more if I wanted to because of how sore I am, so I took it easy.  Hopefully Thursday I wont be so sore.  

Also, I'm still not sure what to do about new shoes.  I don't know if I want cross-trainers or running shoes.  I've done research online and stuff, but haven't found much help. :-(

shoes, joints, etc...
very lightweight cross trainers are my pick. I love saucony or avia. sometimes ryka.

joints, a little extra stretching...lighten the weights and do more reps...move slowly through the moves. also, I bet you could find info online.

miss you too!

great job on your run! ..
sounds like fun!
.. shoes... i guess it depends what you are wanting them for.. just running .. or for hiking, trail running.. you might need to just go and try some on with the mindset of not buying any. try some on and see what you think.. then "sleep on it" and go back and try some more on..
the thing i love about Lukes locker is they have a treadmill you can 'test" your shoes on before you buy.. you might ask if you could do that at acadamy .. they have treadmills.. and if you wear a cute outfit you might even draw some attention to their treadmills and get them some additional sales cause you could be thier "new shoe/treadmill model" .. you know.. like they sell new cars at auto shows :) ..
anyway..
always best to try before you buy..

just some ideas :)

happy tomorrow..
upper for me.. and I am sore from cardio today AND lifting yesterday!
all good :)
