Week 3, Day 1 and 3–Tennis and a 5km

Ok so not as good this week as the last two but sometimes you just need to take a break. On Monday I only played tennis, didn’t want to over do it like last Monday.  I was also still in a turkey coma from our Thanksgiving meal on Sunday, so I played dismally.  It was embarrassing.

Yesterday was a day where my body spoke to me and said, please leave me alone.  Most times I actually don’t listen and feel better after but yesterday I listened.  I did nothing, well I baked cookies but physically I did nothing.

Today I decided to go a little longer and made it 4.5 km (2.8miles).  I dropped both kids at their respective spots this morning and then ran the bigger block.  I also decided to run the path in behind the big hill.  I thought maybe it would run around it but nope, it’s just a rolling incline which in the end was not easier.  I’m not sure which I prefer at the moment, the one big uphill or the rolling.  I’ll let you know tomorrow as my legs will tell me as the day progresses :)

View from the path:

I ran in the rain!  For those who know me know I don’t run in the rain.  I’ll run in the snow, deathly cold and crazy hot, but I don’t run in the rain.  Today I did.  I got up, put my running gear on and then took the kids.  I was all ready to go, so I just kept going.  It didn’t rain long but I was damp when I got home.  I didn’t take Dartagnan this morning and he was not happy about it when we left.. He normally doesn’t bark when we leave, today he went nuts.  So when I got home, we went for a walk.
