Yoga Monday

did JM yoga. Skipped the cool down and did Gunnars ab ball exercises. I only went through 2 workouts (you can skip around). I know I only grabbed the 5lb weights but it was still easy. I"m used to JM making me do two things at once. He just had me on the ball doing bicep curls. boring. Maybe I should have skipped around.

Trying to go through some of my videos to keep things interesting on xtraining days.

I will prob walk the dogs in a bit. Lu keeps limping so it will probably be a light day again (she has hip dysplasia and seems to flare up when it is cold, also running around with the boy in the backyard last week didn't help :(

about 1.5 miles in I noticed Garmin was not tracking my miles. I had to guesstimate while running. I knew I was short but jeez! I ran with the dogs when I got back to try to close the back. I used mymyrun to try to get a more exact mileage.(I was supposed to run 5 today)

I'm going to try a reset with the Garmin to try to fix this problem.

weatherbug said it was 30 degrees. I don't think I ever really warmed up.

5 a.m. 30 degrees. Garmin is acting up again. She is now on time out. Took forever to get a signal. After the run I realized it said my AP for 14:00 and it didn't pace my first mile. I did may my run last night just in case. I think my AP was about 11. Pace charts and my RW schedule says to run easy at 11:17.

Am I hurting my speed workouts b/c I'm running my easy runs too fast? My easy runs feel easy, I'm not struggling. But I just wonder if that is why I can't seem to keep up the speed the schedule is asking me for.

10:50 AP Definitely an easy run. Came home and did 15 minutes of shoveling. I had to get it off the sidewalks this time. Yesterday was the driveway.

My friend cancelled on me for spin class. Not sorry though. Now I can go get my grocery shopping done early before the crazies wake up and then knit all day and enjoy the quiet of the snow.
