Tin Woman

I don't like daylight savings time. At least not right now. I've been trying to "catch" up since I got back from FL and have failed. I need my extra hr of sleep for sure!!!

I did nothing yesterday. By the time I got home, cooked dinner, bathed everyone, it was 9 PM! The gym closes at 9, so that was that.

So today, I left shortly after I got everyone cleaned up and ready for bed. Got on the treadmill for 30 min, and did about 5 on the elliptical to warm up the muscles.

I felt like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. Since I did so poorly with my exercise last week, my joints were killing me! But it got better after a while. Tomorrow is cross training and I am going to do some weights, now that I have a better idea which exercises work best.

I've been telling more people about my marathon endeavor. Told my priest, who thought it was fantastic and told me he knows I can do it. Also told an old boss (he used to be my boss ages ago) and he said he wasn't surprised, that it's very much "like me". I guess he thinks I'm a bit crazy? LOL

Still dealing with teething babies. It's getting better though. I think part of the problem is that grandma stayed here during the night while I was in Florida, and we all know grandmas love to spoil their grandkids. So they are being 're-trained' and are resisting it.
But I'm glad she was here because I know they enjoyed having her around, and I was more calm knowing there was someone here to help my husband.

Sound like the days I used to have with my 3. Although now they are 18, 15 and 13. I miss having a baby around though too. I love MANA and listen to alot of Julieta Venegas. I am not even remotely ready to run yet, but I will be soon. Keep it up, we'll have to meet this Sat. Hope babies get better soon.

Hang tough - you can do it! Retraining those little ones can be hard. I hope you get some renewing rest to give you a boost.
