Just under 3 weeks to go

Just under 3 weeks till the race. I'm up to 8 miles on my long run, I have a 9 and 10 mile run planned before the race. It's not as high in miles as I wanted to go beforehand but it's not too bad.
I've been good about running each day my daughter has been in preschool. 3 days in a row is a little hard but it's the best time to squeeze it in. I also taught my first spin class post partum a week ago. It was good getting back into it. I miss spinning. I think perhaps in October after my race I'll start teaching a class a week...we'll see. What I really need to work on is my abs, gotta get some weight training in.
Sorry for the random post, this is just an update on what's going on with me now. Off to hit the trail!

Only 2 more spin classes left

I agreed to teach spin class up until I went on maternity leave for my day job. This means only two more classes left! It's crazy to think that I'll be taking a break from teaching (4 weeks before ideally and 12 weeks after). Fortunately the YMCA has been generous and will keep my membership active so I do have the opportunity to use the gym while on leave. Thank god since I still need the treadmill or elliptical to get my workouts in. And on another bonus I can take my children to the daycare for free. Finding out that good news today makes me want to take the sub request for this Saturday morning. So maybe that'll make it 3 classes left.

Workout Playlist

Everyone asks for suggestions on music for working out. As a spin instructor I'm always looking for new music and my favorites I add to a "Running Playlist" to inspire me while pounding the pavement.
