2.5 mile run
Nice easy run as a taper for Sundays half marathon. It was a balmy 72 and we have high winds for the next 3 days at least.
After my run I went to the pool but the pool temperature was 77 which was slightly warmer than the outside temperature. Sorry, too cold for me and the other girl that swims with me. I just don’t want to get sick and with the winds on my back when I swam freestyle would make it colder. As I reread this I thought to myself and what else can you come up with to get out of swimming. Oh yes, there may be a shark lurking under the covers!
I hope the winds go away before Sunday because the run takes us along the beach for about 3 miles each way so it is very exposed. Last year’s run was my first ever half marathon and I was lucky the weather was a cool 65 for the start and a beautiful day for the run. My time was 2:19:23. This time the temperature is going to be about 72-75 and who knows about the wind. I have a count down (days) on my office door, mentioned it on Facebook, the route map is on the fridge at home and I sent the map to my 3 kids and told them to be there, spread out, after the 8 mile mark to get me through that hurdle. It is a good place because I see them one way and then again after the turn around, then I only have about 3 miles to the finish where hubby will be. In my training I have only ran up to 8 miles so during the next 5.1 miles I need all the encoragement I can get.

Early morning Abs class
Made it to class again without the alarm clock! I know this class is making my abs better because the Wednesday Abs trainer came around his class to fell our abs when we were doing crunches and he made a comment. He said, and I may say quite loudly, "What do you have there? rocks!"
Being me and not a vain person I thought there was something wrong with my abs and worried about it all night. When I saw the trainer the next night I told him he is not getting to touch my abs again and I told him why. He laughed and said he never expected my abs to be hard and that it was a good thing. I was flabergasted! Here I was worrying I was doing the exercises all wrong and having hard abs instead of "tight/firm or whatever they call it" abs. I guess I need to accept a compliment when I get one. He is just not going to get to touch my abs again though and embarrass me in class. I can’t take it.
