catching up

losing an hour has totally screwed with my body clock. normally, i wake up around 530 every morning. this week i've been getting up closer to 730! that's 2 hours behind, yo! while i enjoy it being light out after work, it sucks that i have to sacrifice daylight in the morning. i'm hoping my body finds equilibrium over the weekend. though it's doubtful. i'm babysitting the monchichi til sunday, while my brother and sis in law enjoy her birthday weekend in reno. at least the little kid and i have the same bedtime!

my swim lesson on wednesday was ho-hum. it hasn't turned into a class yet, though that's what they're aiming for. judy decided to torture me with lots of kicking drills. everything from my hips down was burning by the end of the lesson. she kept saying, it's good for you. bah!

this morning, the group ran 2.25 miles. it's still taking me at least 15 minutes to not hate running, but i'm not feeling as stiff as i was before. it's amazing how for 25 minutes i'm cursing the fact that i'm running, but the second i'm done it's like "oh my god! that was so awesome! i feel so refreshed! i could do that all day!" HA! and i still think it's magic that the group makes me run faster. it's definitely an effort. but hopefully one that will pay off in the end.

I HEAR YOU!! And not only am I all jacked up but so are the kids. It's such a pain. BAH!

It takes me at least 15 minutes to start enjoying a run - lately it has been 20-25. Which really makes 3-milers suck...I only enjoy 5-10 minutes of the run. Bleh.

Hope you had a great weekend with the little one...it gives us a chance to be kids again when we watch the kiddies.

Your running kinda sounds like mine...I fight it for the first half of the duration and feel great when it's over. It would be nice to feel great through the whole thing, something to look forward to I suppose.

losing an hour sucks..but having an hour at night of daylight if you missed your morning run is great!

I love when I read someone's gettin' in the groove again. It gives the rest of us hope.
