What's Working (and not so much...) Wednesday: Floppiness
Hi! The picture captures it all...
What's Workin':
1. New run shorts. Isn't it the best to run in new gear? I love these new shorts, and my whole outfit felt so, so coordinated- something I am not accustomed to...;-)
2. Kids carpooling: A neighbor took the kids to school this am which freed up a good hour for me to get my run in. YES. I'm looking forward to car pooling more down the road...
3. Floppy Ankles: I briefly perused a run book yesterday and it gave me a great reminder! Instead of worrying/focusing so much on footstrike (heel strike, mid foot, etc)...just be mindful of floppy ankles. That's what's important to focus on. And so I did this morning and I feel like it was a simple way to keep my form in check.
and now...not so much:
1. Running with floppy car seats. Actually the concept was great. I swung by my car pooling neighbor's house to pick up the car seats as part of my cool down. The idea seemed so fluid at the time, but the exectution left a lil' to be desired. The seats were a bit cumbersome and I didn't realize what I weirdo I must have looked like til' I ran past a friend who commented 'Oh...I knew it had to be you running with carseats...'
So that's what's working and not so much for me over here. Now...how about YOU? What's working and maybe not so much in your camp? Would love to know! Talk to moi, talk to moi!

I need some new workout clothes. It's funny how motivated I feel when I have something cute to wear to the gym.
Working... sending him to his room :P
as far as fitness goes... kind of been slacking and that doesn't work but when I have gotten my booty moving, it's been great!
