A quick three with my brother. It is so nice to have some company. Especially when you are hurting!

30 minutes on the elliptical. I'll count it as 3 miles cross training

My brother made me some mix cds with some pumping music. I probably  could have stayed on for anotehr 10 minutes but I wanted to get some weights and lunges in before having to bog down with homework. I got a little nap in before ....today was mind draining at work and the 30 minute pick me up helped! a lot!

I did one set of the matrix and some arm stuff.

It is freezing rain so I stayed indoors.

I keep waking up at like 4:30 in the morning and then going to bed. Maybe next week I can start actually waking up and going for a run. I hope it stays warm.

5:10pm run35 degrees. This run was hard on me. 10:50 average pace. I swear one pain goes another one comes.

And I have a lot of work to do this week. and I want to put in an 8-10 miler. Was I insane to think that I could train for a MARATHON and student teach? yeesh. I think for now I will save the marathons for the summer time and keep my 1/2s for the spring...

For whatever reason this run was hard on me. My knees went back to hurting (yesterday they were fine). I feel like i haven't run this slow in a really long time. I'm going to go take  acold bath and  contemplate why I run.

And to be completely contradictory...I think my SO is going to run a 5k with me. Well we may actually end up walking it. He doesn't run and he is a smoker. We shall see. He has a part time job as the bowling alley mechanic and he texted me saying he ran the length of the bowling alley and was out of breath. So cute...hahaha
