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!
