Well sunday, after jogging and then going out monkey dancing left me wather wiped on sunday. I still managed to haul my butt out to weed most of the front yard (bleieve me this took HOURS). Then it was off to a play and for a friend's bithday at a local Irish pub...
Consequently I was out til 1 on a night before work (not the best idea) and so this morning I could not drag my poor body out of bed to do my exercise tape. Perhaps I will when I get home. Perhaps not. I dont' feel too bad about it though...after all - I've been good. I just hav to get next weeks workout fromt he paper today and try not to freak out when I see how hard it will be.
I began this blog while learning to run and training for my very first race! Now I'm just your friendly neighborhood mad scientist still trying to live a healthy life...day by day :)
Saturdays are fine with me
I woke up this morning twitching with energy...so I went for my run outside.
Then I came home to make a yummy breakfast of scones and strawberries and spending the day getting stuff done with J.
Yay.

Day 14
So very tired today!
I did manage to crawl out of bed to do the ball workout tape this morning but I slept like the dead and I really couldn've slept for hours. Yesterday left me absolutely exhausted at the end of the day...Naps are nice. I think I'll have one today.
I got a compliment from a coworker on how much more in shape I am...felt good!

Day 13
Early day today - I had to get up at 5:15 to get all the workout in-blech. IT was a chilly morning - just above zero and my hands were cold, but my allergies seem to be on the wane...makes it easier to exercise when you can breathe! I did the whole workout - I'm very proud...It was beautiful to watch the sun rise over the weir this morning as I ran by. There were geese and pelicans feeding and one goose was aslep with his head tucked under his wing floating down the river. All that beauty is my reward for being good I suppose.
I did do it all though - 4 minutes fast walking plus 2 minutes jogging 7 times plus 10 minutes of fast walking at the end. I went all the way to the university bridge today and around kinsmen park and back...52 minutes plus a minute or twop cool down at the end. The front of my shins are sore today from wearing heels yesterday - I have to get my legs used to girly shoes or give them up...how do women wear them all day? They're only 1 1/2 inch heels on boots...I can't imagine wearing heels all the time.
But then, I'm a wuss.
I need to stretch out more. I suppose I'll have to get up a few minutes earlier to have time to...I don't wanna!
I had some cereal instead.

This weeks assignments
Just got this weeks assignments. Now we seem to be having to try harder...hoo boy.
Day 1: (Walk 4 minutes/Run 2 minutes) 7 times plus 10 minutes walk = 52 minutes (LSD)
Day 2: (Walk 3 minutes/Run 2 minutes) 6 times = 30 minutes
Day 3: (Walk 3 minutes/Run 2 minutes) 7 times + 10 minutes stronger walk = 45 minutes
I've gotta be careful to watch my stride, relax, keep my arms near my sides and not bounce too much...

Day 12
Well I'm feeling less wheesy today - I'm crossing my fingers tha maybe my allergies are on the way out...I'm certainly not taking another "Eliminator" today - I wouldn't be able to work well all fidgety like I was yesterday.
I got up and did my ball workout today like a good girl and had breakfast.
Long day, so off I go!

Days 10 & 11: Eliminator to the rescue
DIdn't work out Saturday BUT I went to hear Bassnectar spin friday night, so I danced like a monkey. I figure a few hours of dancing counts for something. I was well stiff on Saturday and took it easy. Made meat buns and did chores and all those sorts of boring things...very mellow day.
Plus with my allergies on overdrive the past few days I feel like my head is a balloon and my lungs - well I sound like a smoker of 40 years with emphysema...not pretty. To try and get some respite I took an "Eliminator" allergy medication for today. Not sure how well it's working so far but my head is a bit clearer and WOW am I hyper...I'm going to go and try my workout for the day and hope I can squeak through it - my lungs are in pretty rough shape. We'll see- I may just have to walk the whole 41 minutes...*sigh*. I refuse to give up though.

So very tired.
I did my ball work out...but I must admit it wasn't filled with the most effort. BUt I did manage to make myself do it...even so, I'll be doing well to be alert today.
Yawn.
