Today was a fun day! I took my kids to a nearby children’s museum for the first time ever. I heard about this place when my son was just a toddler but have never gone. Today we went and had a blast. My kids so enjoyed themselves and didn’t want to leave. I heard my daughter’s belly laugh, the one I haven’t heard since Disneyland as she went down the big, long, spiral tube slide. So cute!
After that they were in the best mood. My daughter was so spastic but in a non-annoying, very cute way. She was really sweet. My son was his even keel, pleasant self but happy and silly. We hit Taco Bell afterward and for a treat we went inside as opposed to the drive thru. Going inside is a fun, big deal for them. Just the 3 of us.
Later after I picked up my husband from wrestling club I dropped them all off at home and I went to a sweet lady’s house who’s teaching me to sew and finished my project I started last week. My first sewing project was a bag. I’m very proud of my little accomplishment. =)
No workout today, which is OK because I did workout yesterday and my legs really hurt today. I only ran a 1/2 mile yesterday and then stopped actually because I had to use the potty… uh… and then I was glad I did because my shins and lower legs were aching. So then I did a mild elliptical workout for 26ish minutes or so.
Today my legs ache and it’s a little discouraging. I’m hoping to get a run in tomorrow but kind of scared. They didn’t hurt at all for the 4 mile run and now they do. Maybe they are just sore from the run but gosh I’m wondering if my legs will ever just get used to running? I’d like to run 4x a week but I’m not sure if that’s going to happen.
So today was a fun, busy day. Oh and really cold. If I ever, ever get my camera fixed I’ll post a pic of my first sewing project.
Until next time.
it is great to see that you are getting into running. a great thing to consume post-workout is chocolate milk. the protein aids in rebuilding muscle and the sugar helps put back into your muscles what they used during your workout. doing this shortly after your workout helps ease soreness the next day! happy running!
Thanks for taking the time to give me some good (and tasty) advice. I think I’m going to make that a new habit starting tomorrow morning.
Happy running to you too!
