Babies and Training

It seems like everyone I know is either preggo or just had a baby. What's going on? Is there something in the water? My friend just had her son yesterday, my sister-in-law had her little one last week and three people I know from school are preggo! Flippin Eh!

Anywho, I've got some news...(no I'm not preggo) I got the job!!! Hooray!! I'm really excited. It's a good feeling knowing that your about to go into a job that really fits you. I'll have to get used to the morning commute again but I think It'll be great. I'll get to have cup of coffee and listen to NPR on my way to work. Can't start off the day any better than that?

Yesterday I got up at 5:30am to be at the gym by 6am. Since I'll be starting a full-time job I'm not sure when I'll have the time to run. I thought I could try to do my weekly runs on the treadmill at the gym. Treadmill running is not my favorite but It'll have to do for now. By the time I get home from work it's dark outside and I don't feel comfortable running by myself at night. Until the time changes I think my weekly runs will have to be at the gym. Therefore, I must get my ipod ready to go filled with songs that'll inspire me to keep going. Anyone out there have any suggestion, I'm all ears. So yesterday went great! It was a little challenging at first because you know in the morning my legs are a wee bit soft. Once I walked for about 5 min. I was ready to complete my assigned 25min. run for the day. It's nice to go in the morning because exercising in the morning really gives me a boost for the rest of the day. And, since I teach a cardio/toning class on Wednesday evenings, I just go home after I'm done teaching. Now my goal is to run 2 to 3 times during the week at the gym and then run outside on the weekends. We'll see how it goes. If I can keep it up during the winter, I think I'll be fine.

Today I'm not sure what I'll do for exercise. I have to clean a house this morning and that usually is a good workout. For two hours I'm on my feet, moving my arms and legs and working up a sweat! We'll see how I feel this afternoon, maybe I'll read a magazine while riding the stationary bike.

Whoever out there is reading my blog, I hope you have a good Thursday!! It's my favorite day of the week :) !!
