Hot weather, long days, and not enought time oh my

Ok so it has been HOT and the hubby and I have been going running after it gets dark. However that really makes for a long day for me. leaving for a run at 9pm then not getting home till about 10pm by the time I get stretched and showered and ready to go to bed it is 11pm. That only makes for about 6 hours of sleep and that doesn't seem to be enough for me. So I've been having a problem with my energy in the morning. I'm dragging myself out of bed and barley getting to work on time.

With that said I'm doing pretty good on my exercise, I've noticed another difference in my body that made me a little excited. So I think I'm making progress. I also bought a yoga DVD for the hubby and I to do on our running day's off, but we haven't tried it yet. I'm feeling good, staying positive and wow, my mom even said I look like I've lost weight. so if she has noticed you must be able to see a difference now.

Today I ran on the treadmill when I got home, I was hopeful that a cooler house would allow me to run without getting sick. and I did just fine, so I think that will be what I do at least while it is hot out. I had a good run, the shin splints are still killing me. I tired icy hot before I ran and it didn't make a difference for me that I could tell. After my run I sucked down a slim fast and glass of water and I feel great. We are heading out tonight to go to dinner with my cousin for her birthday so I wanted to be sensible about my eating and not be so hungry I make bad choices. So far I think it is working for me.

Anyways that is about it for now. Ive been running regularly and walking Max on my days off but am going to try the yoga at some point.

Talk to you soon!
