This morning I pushed through what I had to get done as quickly as I could so I could run at the gym at lunch time. I got in 30 good minutes before I got called back upstairs to see what some idiot was doing on the database.
Found out it really was an idiot doing something. Ended up “only” gettng to run 2 miles but at least it was a good two miles.
Okay, so I have the pager, and I opted for not running today, but going for a swim workout. 60 min of swimming and water aerobics. Tonight, I’m wiped. I’m not sure what it is about working out in the water, but it always makes me really tired. I probably would have stayed and worked out longer, but it got to the point where I was starting to be really chilly in the water, even though the water was pretty warm. The walk down to the pool was very sweaty, the walk home was just enough to warm me back up to normal feeling.
Went hunting for workout music this morning. I found a bunch of Nike workout music on iTunes.
I’m trying to decide if I’m crazy or not. Don’t get me wrong… THAT I’m crazy (or at least a little left of center) is a given. But I’m trying to decide if my lunacy has gotten to the point … Continue reading
Okay. Today I made the decision on where/what my first half marathon is going to be… I hope I can get there from here. I think I can, but I’m scared.
29 weeks. That is a lot of weeks… That will let me prepare… I need to alter my strength training just a little… more about reps, less about how much I can move a few times. Maybe I will start working just to increase the number of reps I do with the weight I’m at now for a few weeks and then increase the weight.
And it is close enough to home that I won’t be totally far away if for some reason I can’t actually do it… and if I wait to sign up, I won’t be out anything other than the humiliation of not being able to do it. Now that I’m seeing my own improvements in my running (I’m going to start podrunner intervals day 1 to 5k week 2 tomorrow) I feel fairly confident that I should be able to maintain a 15 min mile by October.
Any one up for following the adventure that I’m going to try to undertake? Anyone want to train with me virtually?
Today, the workout was yard work. Did 3 hours of yard work early this morning. Cooked dinner outside.
