4.25- Pure Barre Class
I tried out Pure Barre with a teacher from my school. I ejoyed the class. It was a little weird and silly at times, but I felt it was a workout and I loved that the place is sooo close to my house.
4.29- 30 minute run/walk
I decided to run yesterday morning before church. It was a terrible run. I had to stop and walk several times. I am running a 5k this weekend, and I am not prepared at all! I hope I can run better Saturday.

Michelle's workouts 4.13-4.23
4.23 Run: 3.5 miles
4.21 Run: 2 miles
4.13 Workout: Power Yoga
I forgot to blog about yoga, then I tried to post about the Saturday run, but blogger was not cooperating. Hopefully this works!
Today I ran 3.5 miles. The weather was a little cooler and it was really windy. Murray ran with me for the first 1.5 and then he got put back in the house when he started barking at a kid on a scooter. ugh! I didn't run/workout much last week. It was an emotionally exhausting week and I had several after school work obligations. This week looks a lot better. We have state testing, I guess they feel the teachers should have a break too...plus no grading!!

Michelle's workout 4.10.12
Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 (week 1)
Tried out my new Jillian Michaels DVD. I actually thought it was easier than 30 Day Shred. But we will see if I'm sore tomorrow.

Michelle's run 4.9.12
2 miles
I had hoped for 3 miles and maybe also some Jillian Michaels, but today was the first day back from Spring Break. The alarm went off WAY too early. I almost settled for no run at all.... but I remembered my new running skirt! I took it for a cruise around the block. I love it. The shorts that are attached don't ride up and it was quite comfortable. I don't know if it's ideal for longer runs, but 2 miles was perfect. I also love that it's pink!

Michelle's run 4.7.12
4 mile run!
A 4 mile run seemed like a great way to end my Arkansas trip. I had to take advantage of the perfect weather and flat neighborhood. It's funny that I ran more while on vacation then I probably would have ran at home.
Well, now I have a FULL day of traveling ahead of me. By the time we drive to the airport, I fly to Charlotte, sit in that airport for 2 hours, fly to Atlanta, and then take the shuttle back to Chattanooga...I could have just driven faster. But, driving is more work. Oh well, as long as I make it safely.

Michelle's Run 4.5.12
30 minute tempo run
Since I am running the Peachtree, it's time to get serious about the training. I thought Spring Break would be the best time to try to get in the habit. In taking my training more seriously, I have decided to dabble in tempo runs and speedwork. Today I tried a tempo run. I ran at normal pace for 10 minutes. Then I picked up the pace for 5 minutes, then spent 5 minutes trying to run near my goal 10k pace. The last 10 minutes were a cool down. The goal is to increase the time that I can run at my goal pace. I'm wanting to run the 10k in less than an hour!
Next week I will try speedwork.... the trick there is finding a track or somewhere that would be conducive for speedwork.

Michelle's Run 4.4.12
2 mile run
19:40
I am in Arkansas. I even got to stay with Mysti. Unfortunately, we didn't get to actually run together. But while she was at her dr's appt checking on the baby, I went for a 2 mile run. Her neighborhood was sooo flat. I loved it. The temperature was also perfect. Hopefully the next time we are together we can run together too!

Walking
One day the name of our blog will be true again. :)
However, John and I have walked about every other night for the last few weeks. Usually about 1.5 - 2 miles. I just have not been posting as the walks are really uneventfull.

Color Run 3.31.12
Yesterday I ran in the Color Run in Atlanta.
You start with a white shirt and get this powder paint thrown on you at each Kilometer that you run. It was an untimed race. I didn't know why at first, but as soon as we got started I figured it out. We had to slow down to a walk/stop before each paint point. We tried to run quickly in between the points. We joked that it was speedwork!
We had a great time and definitely ended up with a lot of paint on us!
Sorry the pictures are out of order.
p.s. I didn't take these pictures. I got them from Beka (the one of the left in the pictures)!
