I had another really busy night last night and didn't get to bed on time, so I'm running on 6.5 hours of sleep for the second day in a row. Fortunately, the rest of the week looks a little better. I should be able to get to bed earlier tonight.

Good, uneventful run this morning. I saw a handful of other runners, which is always nice.

I've been going to a yoga class at work. Today is the last class of the current 6-week session. I don't think I'll sign up for the next session because some of the yoga poses seem to irritate my hip. I think I'll take a break from yoga and maybe get back into it later. And now they're going to offer a cardio kickboxing class at work. They're having a free trial class of that today and then there's a six-week session of that starting in two weeks. I'm going to give it a try today and I'll probably sign up for the six-week session, though I'll be out of town and miss the first week.

I had a little trouble figuring my stats for today because I wore my Garmin on a walk with my friend yesterday and forgot to reset it, so I had to subtract that walk from my total amounts to get the amounts for today.

Average pace: 10:46. Splits: 11:13, 10:48, 10:27, 9:54, 9:54

Noon: 40 minutes of cardio kickboxing - I'm very uncoordinated and had a little trouble keeping up with the instructor and I'm sure I looked like a fool.

PM: 1 hour of yoga.

I'm really worn out now.

(From yesterday's thread...) You lost a lot of weight? I did too, about 7 years ago. There is another thing we have in common!

You are showing great perseverance and dedication by getting out there instead of going for more sleep. I'm sure it will pay off. Hang in there!

WOW!! That's a lot of workout in one day - 5 miles, 40 minutes kickbox, and 1 hr yoga!! You're seriously kicking some butt! ;o) I must value sleep more than you - I would've napped instead of one of those things. HA!

I can't nap. I'm at work all day. I did the kickboxing and yoga at work.
