Annoying Run

I'm not the type to really complain about my work outs, but today I just need to vent. I think "annoying" is probably the best way to sum up my run today. First off, running with a stroller is WAY more difficult than simply running, and it makes it hard to concentrate on form, especially on a slightly inclined/declined road. Add a strong headwind to the picture, a right foot that kept falling asleep (even after loosening my shoe) that caused my entire leg to cramp up, scary dogs chasing me, and I think I've come up with a recipe for disaster. I really felt like EVERYTHING was working against me. For the fist 3/4 of the run I kept running anyway, but after awhile I just broke down and walked/cried the rest of the way - I was so over it. Oh yeah, and when I checked to see how far I'd gone, I found that my Nike+ sensor hadn't been working - sigh. The one good thing about the run was that my baby got to take a nap - she's finally contracted the cold I've been dealing with for the past few days. Poor thing. I was up with her early early this morning.


Other than today, work outs have been awesome lately. I've been keeping up with them even if I haven't been keeping up with the blog. What I really need is some non-baby time, so hopefully Josha and I will get to go out snowshoeing tomorrow.

Well, baby is awake now, so I'd better run. Hoping for a better run this week!

Chest, Shoulders, Tris

Yesterday I did chest and shoulders. I was feeling a little "weak" - probably because it was morning and I didn't have as much food/water in my system as usual. Still, I benched 22.5 in each hand on my last set! :)


Today Josha and I went to the gym to do triceps. We did close-grip bench press(a favorite of mine) and tricep pushdowns. This time we used the rope instead of a bar, and boy could I feel the burn. Looking forward to being at least a little sore tomorrow.

Tomorrow I am going to try to take Brooks on a long run.

I've been doing good about eating more veggies - lots of salads and other green things. I'm definitely still eating plenty of junk though. I'm debating doing better on that. I was thinking I had the whole nursing thing on my side, but that's even more reason to eat less junk and more good stuff. Thoughts???
