Don't Call Me Soccer Mom!: Warning: If you don't like complaining, don't bother reading today!

I started strong yesterday with my BodyFlow class. It's a combo of tai chi, yoga and pilates. I've been either taking this class or lifting on Mondays and it's been really great. I didn't feel as fat-kiddish as I usually do in the class.

*Begin Whining*

Today, I needed to get in 4 miles and I was all set to go and feeling great. But, my body had a different idea about how the run would go. This run SUCKED!! The weather wasn't too bad. It was chilly, but once I got going I actually got pretty warm. The weather was the least of my problems though. I bought new shoes and I'm afraid to say I just don't think they are working. Which stinks because now it's too late to take them back. My feet keep getting tingly, which is an indication my laces are too tight, but for the life of me I can't get my laces just right. My feet hurt, I could feel a blister working, my legs felt like lead, and I swear I just need all of my toenails to fall off! Now sitting at home, I'm really sore tonight and tight all over. For those of you that don't know, I've been having a lot of back trouble recently (forever actually) and I've been seeing a chiropractor to try and get it fixed once and for all. I've been feeling pretty good lately, but tonight...not so much. (And I have to go to the dentist tomorrow for fillings)

*End Whining*

When I got back from my run, I realized that even though I didn't feel that great, my time and pace were actually not all that bad.

Time:41:43

Distance: 4.01

Avg Pace: 10:24

I'm not sure what got in my head or why everything was seeming to work against me, but for being into week 5 of my training and this is my worst run to date...I'm ok with that. I'm going to shake it off and tomorrow is another training day, or maybe a day off. I'll let my body tell me what I need to do.
