Sarah, Saturday, June 14th

My body felt beat up after last night. I bought a bunch of Gatorade today and did a Pilates workout tape. I love Pilates because I can get my ass kicked while never having to leave the floor. I can make my muscles burn and stretch while mentally feeling both strong and relaxed at the same time. I just put out my clothes and put my ipod on the charger for the morning (maybe tough music will bring on toughness prematurely). Hubby bought me ipod headphones today and suggests 6:30 AM for good temps. Really? Is that funny?

Contemplating doing intervals around my 1-mile neighborhood loop like Darcy's doing. Wondering if I can make myself go around again once I'm in front of my house. I could take the dogs on the first one and then I'd be killing the dog walking bird with the same stone as the Mama-exercising bird.... I also like the idea of water breaks. Part of the excitement, though, seems to be running away from the house. Oooh- that seems like a bad thing to say. It's very liberating, though, to run away from the house. I sometimes have thoughts of running away until I can't run anymore and then calling hubby to pick me up. I wonder how far I could go if it wasn't a loop.

I'm all over the map with my workouts- don't plan how far I'm going, half the time don't know where I'm going even when I'm running, don't plan from one day to the next when I'm going or even if I'm going to throw in something else. I'm loving the spontaneity of it which is making this much more fun than obligatory.
