Exercise and Productivity

After a several-day hiatus from running, Curt and I mustered the strength and energy to brave the cold and go for a late evening run last night. With the cold weather and the soon-to-be time change upon us, evening runs are getting harder to do together. So, we did a circuit-type workout last night. Curt ran hard on our 1-mile loop around the corner while I stayed home with Danae. When he returned, I headed out on the same loop. While waiting for the other person to return, the at-home person did our usual sets of sit-ups. Then, when I returned, Curt headed out for a second mile, and vice versa. When we were both home, the leg lift exercises began, along with push-ups (not my favorite). Boy, it's definitely hard to get back into the groove after a few days off. Plus, I've been feeling rather fatigued lately, so that definitely didn't help. (To answer the question that is now gaining strength in your head...no, I am NOT pregnant.) :o)
In the end, it was a much-needed workout that led to better sleep and more productivity the next day. Now THAT'S what I needed!

Speaking of productivity, today is...

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
So far, Danae and I have tackled breakfast and painting, followed by hand, floor, and face-cleaning. :o) Now I think I'll go and organize our television/living room that seems to have blown up with toys and Cheerios. Welcome to life with a two year old!

Ugh...

Boy do I feel yucky! We've been battling head colds in our house for the past few days. First Curt, then me...and we are praying that Danae doesn't get anything from us! The congestion, watery eyes, and coughing can really get to you. I have a meeting today and one tomorrow morning with potential clients, and I'm hoping I don't cough and sneeze all over them! :o)

This is the first week that I haven't kept up with the training program for the race. I was supposed to do a speed workout yesterday...yup, skipped that! The fastest I got was a walk to the store for some medicine! I'm hoping I can get in a long run this weekend sometime, but with my parents coming for a visit, it may not be possible. Oh, well...at least I'm near the end of this cold and I'm not feeling like this the week or day of the race, right? :o)

So, any takers for the PT Fall Blast in Lititz??? Let me know!
