Getting back on the horse . . .

So far, I've been running or to spin 3 times in the past week. It's going better. I've only run a mile at a time, mostly because my new ridiculously slow pace means it takes me forever to warm up and then run a mile, but I feel like I could probably do another 1-2 miles with some walking breaks in between. And spin is going pretty well, too. I've learned to bring half water half vitamin water to keep some carbs going through my body. It keeps me going, and keeps me from feeling nauseous during or after it.

It's still a little weird to not push myself like before, but it is nice to just enjoy exercise, especially during spin. The teacher I tend to take classes from picks great music, so I find myself just getting in a groove and singing along. I also have found that my running posture is better, since too much up and down movement can be uncomfortable and makes me need to pee every 1/4 mile.

My next adventure is a prenatal yoga video I found on netflix instant streaming. Once I do it, I'll tell you how it is. I definitely need to get back into yoga. My body is yearning for some stretching. :)
