cross training... sorta


at least it wasn't this bad!
today was cross-training day. i know i have lots of options (swimming, water aerobics - remember that carlie? - stationary bike, stair-stepper) but what i forgot was that clint is out of town and the following options didn't seem like the "good mom" thing to do:
a. leave diego to watch owen at home while i worked out
b. sneak out to work out while owen was sleeping
c. bring owen to the gym and let him cry in his carseat while i work out
d. bring owen in the pool with me even though it was like 40 degrees out this morning
so, instead i opted for this.
kinda funny, but whatever. i could do it in my living room without having to feel like a loser mom. besides, i felt the BURN.
tomorrow will probably be tough - 35 min run. i am looking forward to running again, but i'm pretty sure i am going to have to stick with the treadmill for a while until i am strong enough to run with the stroller as well.
hope you're having a good day!

Awesome! How is the DVD!? I really need to cross train but the whole gym thing has not been working out so well since my kid is sleeping, oh, I don't know THREE hours a night! boooo. Do you remember the time we did the pilates video at my apartment in San Diego? Kind of reminded me of that video.

what's the deal with zach? we have to talk schedules one of these days, because ever since i changed owen's schedule it has been AMAZING.
