Tuesday (30 minutes running)
Ran around Granite without Marli and Coco in tow because Coco is watching Tristan and Mia, so I dropped Marli off so I could do a quick run. I ran for about 30 minutes, which is about 3 miles. I pretty much run at a 10 min./mile pace when I'm out on my runs. The weather was great for running; overcast, cool breeze going, but not too cold. Perfect! There's a guy from opera who likes to get a group together to run on Saturday mornings down by the bay. I'm going to join them this Saturday. Can't wait! They do a five mile run, so I need to make sure I run a couple times this week so I can keep up. :o)
Thursday (45 minutes walking)
Just did a quick and easy walk around Granite with Marli and Coco.
Saturday (4.5 miles running/.5 miles walking)
So, I went to Mission Bay Park to run with some opera friends and it was beautiful down there! We ran at a 10 mile pace. Garrett had a metronome and a GPS gadget on his arm, so we kept at a very consistent pace the entire time. Our run started out with some overcast skies, but by the 3rd mile, it was very sunny and hot. I started feeling a little fatigued by the 4th mile, so we stopped and walked the rest of the way at a good pace. I'll be doing this every Saturday, as time permits, since it felt great and I actually wasn't too sore the following day. I haven't run over 2 or 3 miles since about November, so it's been a while. I'll be running next week throughout the week and my goal is to run the entire 5 miles next Saturday without giving up that 10-minute/mile pace.

Super Hot!
Monday (30 minutes yoga)
I'm loving the yoga sessions I'm doing. It's getting me back into my flexibility and the breathing techniques are helping with my singing, as is the running. I had opera rehearsal this evening and every time I'm at a voice lesson or any other rehearsal, I truly feel like I just did a bunch of crunches. Singing is a great exercise for your core!
Tuesday (50 minutes walking)
Went walking with Marli and Coco. It was 8:30am and it was soooo hot! I like warm weather, but not HOT weather when you just can't seem to keep cool. But, it was nice to go on a walk. I have a dance class this evening and then my cake class. I'll be doing my yoga tomorrow.
Wednesday (3o minutes running/20 minutes walking/30 minutes yoga)
I did quite a bit today. It felt great!
Thursday (50 minutes walking)
Just did a nice walk around Granite today.
Saturday (60 minutes yoga)
Wow! This felt great! There really is a great relationship between singing and yoga breathing and stretches. I was pretty sore on Sunday though! My arms got a good workout doing this hour of yoga.

Here we go again!
Monday
No run. Too busy.
Tuesday (50 minutes walking)
Went walking with Coco and Marli around Granite again. Felt good and it's always good to just walk. I'm trying to eat better, too. I need to tone up and get my body healthier on the insides, too. I'm going to cut back on sweets and really strive to get a more balanced diet. Being pregnant with Marli actually helped me make it a habit of having well-balanced meals and eating in the proper proportions, so I don't think it'll be too difficult. It's just the sweets!
Wednesday (90 minutes walking)
I went to visit some customers and my mom at the airport authority today and my mom and I took Marli on a walk around the bay. Beautiful! I discovered a namaste yoga program that comes on the FitTV channel. I loved it! It's only a half hour, but it's great for stretching out and working on my core. I'll keep that up!
Thursday (30 minutes running)
I ran around Granite for about a 3 mile run and then walked the rest of the way with Coco, so it took about an hour, but half was running. Felt good and then came back home and did my yoga to stretch out.
Friday (yoga)
I only had time this morning for a quick yoga session, but it was pretty challenging as there are balancing poses where your body is balanced on your elbows. Interesting and I actually was able to balance for a few seconds in crane pose! I'm sore today on my sides, but it's a good sore. :o)

Starting Over!
So, I've slacked for the past couple of weeks, but I did manage to get a couple of runs and walks in, so it hasn't been completely bad. This week, though has changed!
Monday (35 minutes)
I ran the figure 8 around Granite for the first time in a while. It felt sooo good. Unfortunately, I was sore on Tuesday....but, good sore! Felt very refreshing to get out there and run in the sunshine. The weather is PERFECT for running, so I'd better do it now!
Tuesday
Went walking, since I don't want to overdo it. I was sore from Monday, so I did a 50 minute fast-paced walk with Marli and Coco.
Wednesday (20 minutes)
I ran the short loop around Granite. Marli and Coco were walking behind me and did the same distance, just walking. I'm doing it this week! I'm going to make sure that I keep this up from now on....bathing suit season is around the corner! My goal is to lose 5 pounds. I don't think I necessarily NEED to lose this, but I think I would feel better if I did and I would feel healthier. That would put me just below my pre-pregnancy weight. :o)
Thursday (30 minutes)
I ran the figure 8 around Granite again today sans Marli and Coco. It felt great and the weather was beautiful! I love California! Low humidity and warm weather, sunny skies. Perfect! Feeling great about this week. My back hurts, though, but it's more from muscles and just tension. Ibis told me to go get a professional massage if I wanted to. Aw!
Friday (50 minutes)
Did a walk today with Coco and Marli. I'm so proud of myself that I was able to get out and exercise every day this week. Next week, too!
