Beautiful Day

     I finished my 3.5 miles run pain free!  It was the perfect day to run, it felt like running in air conditioned wind and it was so nice.  Once I got home I drank a shakeology shake, stretched and foam rolled.  I recently started using the foam roller, and I love love love it!  It feels soo good on my back, hamstrings, hips, quads, and calves.  I didn't end up going bike riding yesterday because my body was so sore it felt like I was going into rigor mortis so I went after my run.  My legs were still a little tired so I decided to do an "easy" 10 mile ride instead of 30 mins of intervals.  The first 5 miles were amazing, it was perfect.  The last 5 miles I rode against the wind and my poor legs hated me, but it was definitely a good workout day!

     I haven't really had many bad runs since I started running again 4 weeks postpartum (minus the minor injuries).  Listening to music while I run has made the runs a million times more enjoyable.  Once I get down to my old weight I will be faster and I don't think I will get some of the pains I have been having.  I'm going to go to the running shoe store and see if my gait is different.. I feel like my shoes aren't giving me the support I need.  I should be picking up a double jogger on Wednesday!!  It is the perfect price as long as I sell my single I will break even.  I really love my single but it has to go...

     We were supposed to go to Busch Gardens today but my husband is sick :(  He has a fever and now his throat is sore which is getting worse... my in-laws are here so that is why I was able to do my workouts outside today.  I think today is going to be a beach day.. and I definitely am going to take advantage and get a nap in while I can!
