Work is crazy busy. I've been spending every minute I'm not at work away from the computer.
Toronto is this weekend and I'm not feeling very confident. Work has left me completely drained and with not a lot of time to run. I am also going to be working overnight Friday to Saturday. So I'm not sure how I'm going to feel when I wake up on Sunday morning for the race.
If I wake up feeling like a zombie I plan on taking it easy during the race and registering for the half in Niagara Falls the weekend after. I did this race last year and it's a pretty flat course.
I'm still hoping to pull out a time that's under 2 hours but it might wind up taking a miracle.
We will see.

Circuit Training
Last week I was browsing Borders and I found a Jillian Michaels exercise card deck. It looked fun and I've been looking for some different strength training ideas.
There are 78 different exercises and 9 circuit training cards that put those moves together. On Tuesday morning I did the Card #1. Just looking at the cards they look pretty easy but boy was I sweaty and tired afterward! It was a great workout and by the end of the day I was already feeling sore.
Thursday morning I did Card #7 (I let boyfriend pick the number). This one was definitely harder and I had to modify some of the exercises, like clapping in between a push up (yea right!).
Between that and running my quads are so sore and tight this morning. I had planned on going to the spinning class this morning but I think I need a day off.
On the running front things have been going well. Tuesday I didn't run because it was rainy and really windy. Wednesday we went to the Ridge and did our 5 mile loop. It was pretty slow like last week but I think it's more because we are lingering after the big hill ("Mother").
Yesterday I did a short 3.75 mile run with couple friends. It was pretty quick but mainly because I was having stomach issues and needed to get back to the bathroom.
I plan on doing some cross training tomorrow and a long run on Sunday.
