Ouch

I basically haven't exercised for the past 3 months.  I considered it a remarkable feat just to make it out of bed, to work, and then back to bed again.  I occasionally went to a yoga class, and I was forced to do plenty of moving around while at school (we're in the midst of Dance Festival practice) but that was about it.  I just didn't have the energy.

Now I am in this blessed time called The Second Trimester and my energy is slowly creeping back to me.  But after this weekend, I might go back to just lying on the couch all the time!  On Friday we had a school 5k called the Fun Run.  It's been a school tradition for 30 years and everyone gets really excited about it.  Despite the fact that the last time I ran was a 5k in October I decided to run it with my kids.  I felt great while running and had a lot of fun yelling at my kids that they better beat their teacher (which only 2 of them did- lazy bums.)  But as soon as the run was over I realized that I still had to teach the rest of the day- yikes.  It was a long day and all I wanted to do was curl up and take a nap.  I think I did take a little nap during an assembly we had- one student said he saw my eyes closed for a minute, oops!  I was incredibly sore the next morning so it was definitely impossible for us to go on a hike like we had been planning.  But somehow Bryan convinced me that it would be fun to go on a bike ride.  So, we rode to Bridal Veil Falls on the Provo River Trail, which was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. 

Unfortunately, all of my fun this weekend has made me unable to move this morning.  From my waist down everything aches.  I think I'll let myself slowly ease back into exercise from now on.

My class all ready to start the race.
