Countdown is on!

Only 3 sleeps till I run my first ever race!!!  It's only 5k this time, but we all need to start somewhere.  I'm nervous and excited, it will be very different for me to run outside.  I'm guessing that is something I should start changing, should try a trial run with Bug on his bike.  He goes pretty fast, and as long as he can ride at least 30-50 minutes straight, it should work.

I got in for two hot yoga classes this week, and should be able to do this for the whole summer.  I have a sitter over Tuesday nights, and Thursday nights the boys spend that time with Grandma & Grandpa.  So far it is working out well, and should really help keep me nice and limber for my runs.

Getting back on track!

The last few weeks have found me getting back to my running, and this week I've also added Hot Yoga twice!  Monday I was able to get my run done in 30 minutes, felt so good to get my time down like that.  I only completed 4k on Tuesday, wasn't feeling it as I was still recovering from a migraine Monday evening.  I did attend Yoga that night though... WOW, talk about intense!  I had taken a Bikram yoga class with a friend a few weeks earlier, but it was a 90 minute class at a more sedate pace.  This 65 minute class was quick and very intense... and I am really feeling those workouts now!  These classes will be excellent for my core, and upper body strength, something I have been neglecting the last while.

I only have 9 days till my first 5k race, and I feel very ready and prepared... or so I hope!  I would truly love to complete it in less than 30 minutes, but my main goal is to complete it!  Off for a run right now, then Yoga tomorrow, and another run on Sunday.  Not sure what schedule I will do next week, but will take Saturday, and possibly Friday, off to rest before the race.
