Felt really good tonight to get in a 3 mile run at the track. The weather FINALLY was cool and dry! It was so great. I went a little slower than I wanted to but considering I haven't been running that much, this was huge for me. Then I came home and did a great ab workout too.

Its been good to get back into a more regular thing again too. With the extra pilates classes, yoga on Saturday and building my running back up again too, it just feels good to keep going with it.

I know I'm getting stronger with it all and I love that. I need to keep building at it and keeping consistent with it all. That will be the hardest part! The weekend runs are really hard for me. Technically I am supposed to have a 6 mile run on Saturday. I know I'm not there yet. SO... I'm hoping for 3-4 miles. I don't want to build it all too quickly.

I think I'll skip the gym, the yoga teacher I love isn't teaching this weekend. I'll just do my own run and workout on my own. Tomorrow is pilates and the elliptical for my cross training. Friday will be a rest day, the Saturday is long run. Sunday I might do something but I don't know yet. I want to keep doing abs as much as I can, if not every day.

I need to build in more weights too. Last night was great getting in a shoulder workout at the boyfriends house after pilates. He really pushes me so much more than I would do on my own, so I love working out with him!

Plus.. its kind of hot to watch him working out. I mean, 195lbs for the shoulder press? Really? As I'm sitting there doing them with 10lbs in each hand??? Really now?? Yeah... its kind of hot to watch him working out! :) Although he drives me CRAZY that he says he is "flat and flabby" and needs to push harder. He's so great to look at! Drives me nuts when he talks down how amazing he looks.

But keeping my fingers crossed the rest of the week is smooth sailing and low key. Things are pretty good but this week has been very challenging and stressful.... the past few months have been like that. I just want easy back for a little while. Just a little while!
