   I only had a little bit of time to squeeze a run in, so I hit the treadmill since I felt like being a wimp today. Plus, I can't take the dog with me since she has her dog boyfriend visiting and I certainly am not taking them both through the narrow chutes of sidewalks around here (the snow is still piled high on either side of the shoveled walks--so, you can't run 3 abreast). Maybe tomorrow I'll hit the pavement since we'll have fresh snow...again.

   Hill workout tonight with the run club. Feels like we did this workout just a few weeks ago. Small group tonight. I spent my time trying NOT to focus on the TV in front of me with the Syracuse/G-Town game on, since I was taping it at home. I had enough of Fox News to last me a lifetime. The tough workout seemed to take even longer to get through since I didn't have anything entertaining to look at. Oh well, gotta focus on the hills since I'm officially training for the Steamboat Marathon.

   This instructor rocks. But, unfortunately, she announced at the class that this class would be her last on Sunday mornings. Man--I keep striking out with great instructors leaving! Was it something I did/said? Anyway, she kicked my ass, so I'll probably be sore tomorrow. And now I'm seeking out another great instructor.

   Did the hard elliptical machine (I wish I knew what it was called, but it's not like a normal elliptical). Got to work out along side Paul which was nice. Haven't been able to do that in a while. Weights and core after. Got our workout in just as the snow started to fly. Now time to hunker down and ride out this blizzard!

     Jenn, I signed up to do the Steamboat Marathon June 3rd. This weekend I'm doing a 5K obstacle course race. Think Warrior Dash, but in the snow. Considering we're getting a blizzard today with 20" of snow, this should be interesting...

   Class was okay. The instructor just isn't doing it for me. She is trying WAY too hard to be inspiring and it comes across just not natural. But, I stick with it because it's at the same time as the kids' yoga class that Maddie goes to. Oh well. I wonder if it would be rude to wear my ipod during class next time...

   It was really cold out and I messed up the time to meet up with the run club. So, I headed out the opposite direction in the loop I thought they did, but I never found anyone. Then, had stomach issues and foot issues which led into calf issues. So, I ended my run early. But, that's okay, had too much to do today anyway. Next week, I'll make sure I read what time the run club is meeting.

    Beautiful sunny afternoon, with a slight chill in the air. I took the dog with me on a quick jaunt before the school bus came around. The dog was not into it...again. I'm kinda getting sick of her dragging me down. Maybe I shouldn't try to give her a run before she eats dinner. But, then I have to deal with her sad puppy dog eyes. Oh well, she still finished with me. I'm looking forward to running by myself sometime in the near future.

    Ran in the dark after work. I started out at the gym, but the guilt of my dog's sad eyes looking at me as I left caused me to turn around. That and the fact that there was no parking at the gym, and I didn't feel like fighting for machines when I could just throw a hat and a headlamp on and head outside. So, I turned around and drove home. The dog was not as appreciative as I had thought. She was actually kind of a slacker--I was dragging her the whole way. Oh well.

    Finally got a chance to go out with the Run Club. Saturdays are usually too filled with kids' activities, but Donovan's game was later today. Small group but good conversation as always. Not sure on the time since I forgot to restart my watch at the stop light. Felt so good to get out and run with people.

    Got to class late because the child care was on a waiting list. Um, maybe you should have more people working on a day that the kids are off from school. Hmm, just a thought. But, still got a good core workout in. Pilates never makes me sweat too much though so I never feel like it's a GREAT workout.

    I waited until the sun peaked out in the afternoon to take a run and it was nice and warm. The dog was REALLY sluggish. I don't understand why. She had just had her dinner and it was halftime in the game, so what was there to complain about? Oh well. Just needed to work out he lactic acid building up in my muscles after yesterday's circuit class. OW!

    This is a hard class, but I held my own. Probably worked off 1,000 calories. It's run like a boot camp. A little change of pace since run club was later today. I was going to try to wait around for that to start since they were doing an expo on the treadmills today, but this class kicked my ass so I went home.

    Cold run with the dog waiting for the school bus to arrive. I used my YakTraks, but most people shoveled too well, so I didn't really need them. Corina was really running today! I don't know what's got into her! Took a little jaunt into the green belt to practice running in the snow for the upcoming Snow Dash.
