Move it Monday....Ummm...Tuesday I mean!




Sadly- I cannot say that I have moved it much this last week. Other than a few laps I did at Spouses' Club Bingo last week between the table I was at and the wine bar- and walking around Prague... not much to report!



I have had grand plans. I bought new shoes. I bought new running pants and an awesome running top that will keep me plenty warm outside... But how do you get motivated to run outside when the high this week was 21. I lie- right now we are having a heat wave- it is 32... But did I mention the 3 inches or so of snow on the ground? I am "that person" that will eat it on the trails in this weather!



Please come Spring! Please. I long for the early morning runs I was doing last year... Walking out the door at 530am... turning on my music and getting lost in mommy time for at least an hour. Then being able to walk back in the door at 630 and go wake up my kiddos. Those were the best days. I was awake and motivated. I was such a happier momma than the momma now- who is pulling herself outta bed at 630- trying to get motivated to greet the kiddos with a smile!



I need to get out there again. I am that person though that needs to work out first thing in the morning. Otherwise- I am busy (i.e. making excuses) all day long. And no way I can do it in the evening.

I best get motivated... I have a 10k in Bad Windsheim in March. A 1/2 in Bad Durkheim in April and a 10K I want to do here in Ansbach in May... so bring on the motivation!

Any tricks- tips to running in the freezing cold/snow??

I miss running, I took up turbofire, and now Insanity and Zumba since Hubs is always gone. However, with a kid and two dogs playing all over I don't always feel like my mommy time is occurring. I am following ya! I am anxious to get to know you, fellow military wife!
