Sick

My throat has been hurting for about a week and last night my temperature was 101. So I didn't go to yoga last night and I didn't run this morning. This may be why I was so wiped out after my runs last week! I went to the doctor this afternoon and he wants to wait for my throat culture to come back before he puts me on antibiotics. I just have to wait it out and rest. Blech - I don't like resting. So no workout tomorrow either. I hope I get better soon!

Catching Up: March 31-April 3

I've been neglecting my blog but not my workouts. On Thursday I ran four miles and felt better than I did on Tuesday but still kind of wiped out. I took Friday off because I had book club the night before until pretty late. On Saturday I was supposed to run seven miles but I only made five. My knees were really achy so I stopped. I need to research knee issues and figure out what to do so they don't get that way. This morning I did my yoga class. We're still working on Flying Crow and we also worked a little bit on another arm balance but I don't know what it was called.

This week's workout plan:

Monday - Advanced Vinyasa Flow at Zona Yoga
Tuesday - Run four miles
Wednesday - Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones DVD
Thursday - Run four miles
Friday - Power to the Peaceful Yoga DVD (or rest depending on how I'm feeling)
Saturday - Run eight miles
Sunday - Masters Yoga class

March 27

I went to the masters yoga class this morning. After warming up with some sun salutations, we worked on the arm balance Eka Pada Galavasana or Flying Crow. This link has more information about how to do it. I wasn't able to get into the pose fully but the instructor said we'd be working on it for a few weeks. I'm going to practice it this week after my regular workouts.

March 26

I was supposed to run four miles this morning but I only got three in. When I woke up this morning, I was so hungry that I was nauseous so I couldn't run until I ate a little something. Of course I don't wake up with a lot of time to spare so after eating my toast I didn't have time to run all four miles before getting ready to go to Toy Story on Ice with the family. I was hungry like that Friday morning too. If this keeps happening, I'll have to make sure I start allowing plenty of time to eat before I workout.

Breakfast

1/2 piece whole wheat toast w/sunflower seed butter

Lunch (Toy Story on Ice)

1/2 soft pretzel w/cheese
Diet Coke

Dinner (Pizza Shoppe)

3 pieces pepperoni pizza
Diet Coke
