I am just not ready for the cold yet. I stayed inside and 30 on the ellip and did the weights from 30 DS level 2.

It is 39 degrees out. I may run in the afternoon. It is suppose to get to 69. and I only have to run 2 miles.

progressive run. 40 degrees. I wear a buff around my ears to keep the wind out. And I now believe that this looks stupid. The buff is too big. I'll keep it for over the mouth and neck gear for the colder weather. But for now I need something else to cover my ears. And not ear muffs.

45 second plank, 45 sec l/r plank, 10 push ups, 45 second hold on bridge. Repeat once more.

50 squats

Lots of stretching. My legs feel better.

my legs were tired. Operation learning Spanish is back on. I"m using Pimseleurs b/c it is free at the library. If anyone has a bootleg copy of Rosetta let me know. You are doing it for the kids. I have a Mexican student. I can't say that she knows Spanish but she doesn't know English. And neither do her parents which is who I REALLY want to be able to communicate with. I called them a few weeks ago and it was such broken Spanish on my part. I hope she appreciates me trying since she couldn't speak a lick of English!

 

43 degrees!

I had a cavity filled on Wednesday. Yesterday as the day progressed I felt yuck. Throat felt scratchy and I went to bed at 630pm and didn't wake up really till this morning.

So I have a tenawesome scheduled for tomorrow. My entire body is tired and my back feels achy. Should I try it? or just do 8? I need guidance b/c as of now it isn't in my chest just in my head but I feel weak.
