Midweek Updates

Just thought I'd put it out there that I'm not pregnant, since a couple people have asked :-). I guess ovulating the day of a marathon (according to my internet ovulation calculator) is not conducive to making a baby. Oh well. Better luck this month!! I was kind of hoping for a great excuse to slack up on the running for a few weeks, er, months :-)

I did go for a run yesterday and aside from the snot-flowing nose I felt fine. But about two miles into the run my IT band started to bother me again. This is frustrating. But I guess that's what I get for running after it started to hurt during the marathon. So I hopped on the elliptical for a while more. But ya know, I am just not a elliptical kind of girl unless I am seriously kicking my ass. Literally. There is a great setting for that on the one I use!

I planned on doing something today but we had playgroup this morning and I was just tired and not feeling it so I skipped it during the afternoon. So....tomorrow I am hoping to get to the gym for a little barbell strength class or some yoga. I have been a member at the gym for a year now and have yet to attend a class. This is mostly because almost 3/4 of that year Jackson freaked out and I only got about a half hour at the gym and I didn't want to have to leave during the class. He's been great the last couple months and lately he doesn't even turn his head back when I drop him off, and when I pick him up he turns and runs the other way. Too funny!

Anways, almost two weeks until Christmas and I have zero presents bought. I still have to make a gazillion cookies to send off i carepackages. And do our Christmas/New Year cards. This is going to be a long week two weeks!
