1.75 miles woohoo

Yesterday I woke up after a second night of haing slept horribly and the thought of a) getting up and b) working out almost drove me to tears. So I decided to take the day off and sleep in. I awoke to find the bed covered with 2 cats and a dog! (the dog is NOT allowed on the bed). I was, however, very warm.

I went in this morning and was not going to run but I really wanted to. And, I was feeling incredibly anxious, grumpy, and whiny, as my friend NGS can attest to. SO I ran for 21 minutes with he first half at 5 mph and the second half at 5.2 mph. Then I walked for the remainder of the 45 minutes at 4 mph. I changed something today with my running stride because it feels really different and I seem more efficient. I, however, have no clue what I have done. I think I stopped moving my hips, perhaps.

I was planning on going outside for a bike ride this weekend, but that is looking unlikely. Instead, I will ride the spin bike and play music the boy hates. He walked in when I was blasting the dance version of "Unchained melody" and just looked at me in horror. I have not yet subjected him to the dance version of "Don't Stop Believing." I think that will have to wait for a special occasion.
