Butt so much better, still not 100% sure what is going on.

Yesterday, in  an effort to focus on the butt, did works that targeted it, I think it helped. Physique 57 Express workout, there is a great butt/seat workout that targeted everything, then yoga for butt with Adrienne on You tube and to stay true to what I planned did a quick 30mins yin yoga also found on You tube.

Surprise on how cold it got, enough for the cold warming from the nursery regarding bringing plants indoors.

Today:
Divine intervention this morning, as I stood in my closet trying to decide whether to wear long pant (outdoors) or short (treadmill) we lost power, mind you there is no rain or storm or anything just no power, so decision made outdoor run it was, since it is only 45 degrees and I can hear the wind howling, put on long pant & top and headed to the garage to get my shoes, well, power came back ON, oh well outdoor it still is. It takes so much longer for me to get running when I have to go outdoors.

It was cold, initially only had long pant and sleeve but went back and put on a windbreaker, hat and gloves, didn't overheat during my run, got in 6 miles with 6x90sec of sprint sprinkled in on the second loop. I have a nice 3 mile loop that I did twice going clockwise and counter clockwise. I am trying to stay at the top end of my base pace instead of what I have been doing which was hanging at the low end, I am not going to get faster doing that. The run felt pretty good and I should be more comfortable at me if I still to pushing towards the high end.

I love days when I wake up with a song in my heart and a smile on my face, today was that kind of day. Felt great upon waking I just know it was going to be a great day, so nothing to do but make it a great one,even thou I am still not 100% but the thunderstorm yesterday helped cleared some of the pollens out..

 I did contact moms into moms into fitness about the 2 bad DVDs and they are sending replacement and gave me a link for a free download. Great customer service.

With a spring in my step decided to work on conquering Fierce Lean Out total body strength this is one of my favorite even though it is long at 55mins, I love the sequence strength then endurance(tabata style) then recovery/abs, 8 blocks I think all together. I mean anything that starts out with a burpee + 2 squat jumps for 10 reps got to be fun . I had planned on going outside to run after the workout but I was soaked from head to toe which require a change of clothes being lazy I decided on the treadmill moreover it was windy and a bit on the chilly side.

I pulled out Coach Troy, Runerval 7.0 and did workout #1 - 10 -30 secs sprints / 90secs recovery, did the 1st 5 at 8mph then 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and since I felt fine tried 10.0 okay it is amazing how people can run this pace for a long time. Recovery was @ 4.2mph with everything done on a 2% grade. To stretch things out I used Fierce Lean Out yoga hybrid which was perfect at just 13mins.

After work, even thou the temps said 60 degrees it was pretty chili so pulled out long pants and tops, met Shelby at the bike and hike and we got in the usual 4.27 miles, it was nice to see that we were significantly faster this week than last week, also I was only 2 days out from Flying Pig last week.

I need to start thinking of next year races but am really surprise how how this lottery races take their time announcing, I mean London does announce until October for an April race and it looks like Tokyo doesn't even open till August for lottery and that is a February race. Oh well patience is virtue.
