I did an upper body work out at home with 5 lb weights Tuesday,
assuming that hubby would flake out on our gym date, which was OK
with me because I'd like to get on a MWF schedule with the running.
He came home from work at 7:30 pm. I had already had dinner with
the kids and his was waiting for him. First thing I said when he
comes in the door, half joking, is "Do you want to go work out
before you eat or after you eat?" And he says "after," and off we
went!
So, to the running part... I ran .3 of a mile at 4.6 mph and
realized my shoe lace was wanky, so I paused to tighten it up and
somehow erased my stats and had to start all over. And I had worked
hard for that .3 of a mile and, poof, it's gone!
Ran one mile at 4.6 mph, no deviation. Decided to do some intervals
in the second mile, so I ran at 5.5 mph x 3 minutes, 4.6 mph x 2
minutes, repeat three times. That put me just over the two mile
mark in my total.
For the final mile, I jogged at 4.6 for 3/4 of a mile, then ran at
5.5 for the last three minutes or so.
I know that my total jog was 3.13 miles and my time was 38 minutes
and something, but I AGAIN somehow wiped out the stats before I
could get a look at them.
Did a quarter mile cool down walk, very slow pace, just to kill time
while hubby finished up on the elliptical.
Glad I got the run in because my MWF schedule wouldn't have worked
out anyway. Crazy schedule today, all about my 9 year old
daughter. Took her to violin lesson at 7:30 am, school at 8:20 am,
then my weigh in at 8:50 am. Came home, ate breakfast, now I am
posting. Need to be back at her school at 11 am, pick up her and
the rest of the "drill team" and head to Portland for the Jr. Rose
Festival Parade. Walk two miles in the parade, then haul ass back
to her school because she is in a play tonight, and pre-play dress
rehearsal/run thru starts at 3:20 pm, which we will probably be a
little late for, but oh well. Then the play is at 7 pm, so I'll be
at that. Sometime in there I need to have a healthy lunch and
dinner... fat chance! If I had been nagging myself about trying to
get a run in somewhere, I'd be depressed.
Later, ladies!
