Day 2 of Training

Okay – Day 2... went really well – but it’s still a novelty. Alarm went off and I actually got out of bed! Whoo hoo! Did the 30 minutes (2.91km) and was thrilled... now it’s after 8 and I’m crashing (ha ha). It felt good to be up and moving again. Training e-mail says tomorrow is a rest day... I think the exact words were “take a day to rest from running by doing some cross training such as cross-country skiing or weights”... hmmm – I define rest a little differently! Usually involves a bubble bath and a good book! But I’ll find something for the morning, yoga is always great – I can’t get over how stiff and un-bendy a person is in the morning.

On a different note – I have been reading a lot the past few months, one of my goals from a while back – less mindless TV and more books (that aren’t written by Disney!). Started innocently enough – go to library and find a book, now I have the Chapters membership... well its driving my husband crazy (he doesn’t get why anyone would want to sit and read for hours!) Bradin and I are the same, I can sit and read all day if the world would let me – usually I get an hour or so once the kids are asleep with Ryan prodding me every page, “what’s happening now?” slightly irritating, but he means well. He turns on the hunting channel, I read, you know –quality time together

I’ve ploughed my way through the Twilight series (a couple times – shameful, I know), Time Travelers Wife, Host, several books on polygamy lives, memoirs on the holocaust, a few autobiographies and the latest read “Push by Sapphire”... don’t know if I’d recommend it? I read some pretty dark books on people who has escaped so dramatic things... they usually have a happier ending – there wasn’t an overly happy ending in this one, don’t think I’ll see the movie. Also reading “Lovely Bones”, it’s interesting enough. Beats watching hunting!
