I am doing very good at getting up at 6:30. Kevin used to have to practically pull me out of bed by my feet at 7:30 and now I’m out of bed almost before he is. (That’s kind of miraculous.)

This morning, my big motivation was that Kevin had to leave for work at 7:20 so when I left the house at 6:45, I knew I needed to get back quickly because I didn’t take a key with me so either a) he couldn’t lock the door or b) I would be locked out. That was helpful motivation because, after 4 days straight of running, plus a Body Pump class on Monday and yoga last night, my body is feeling a little worn. It was definitely harder to push myself this morning. The weather has been perfect though, which helps. I solved the sweat blisters problem by wearing my yoga capris to run this morning–worked like a charm. My reward for making it through week 2 is a nice, relaxing weekend in St. Louis with Kevin. We are going to have a blast and I’m especially looking forward to the zoo. (I don’t even like animals!)

Peace, Ensure, and yoga pants.

P.S. I just logged into my nikeplus workout site that keeps track of all my runs via my iPod and I have logged over 70 miles since I started running with my nikeplus system. Whew! I’m in the orange zone. Next up: green!
