Week 2, Day 1–3km and a pump class!

Well I didn’t run this weekend, I ate instead :)

Back at it today, I went to the gym and ran 3km on the treadmill and then I did a body pump class.  I only did one class last week and my body missed it.  No doubt I’ll be sore tomorrow! Especially since I’m playing tennis tonight too!

View from the treadmill:

I hate running on the treadmill because it truly is boring.  You don’t go anywhere. However, the people watching is most excellent.  There was the sweaty guy behind me who is on the treadmill for a couple hours each morning.  He’s pretty rank, so I’ve learned to not go on the treadmill next to him if I want to save my olfactory senses :)  But gotta love his dedication!

There’s also a Zumba class before the pump class.  I’m amazed to watch, b/c I’ll never attempt.  Sometimes knowing ones limits is essential!

The Music on the treadmill:  I needed peppy music this morning so used the girls dance mix!

• I Like That – Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull
• Dynamite – Thaoi Cruz
• Rain Over Me – Marc Antony and Pitbull
• Give Me Everything – Ne-yo and Pitbull
• Breakaway – Lemonade Mouth

Week 1, Day 5, August 30, 2011 - 3km

I did run this morning and yesterday I played tennis.  I didn’t feel the need to blog about it yesterday because really I just ran around the court for an hour during my lesson.  But it was an awesome workout!

As for today, I ran the loop with my training partner Darty and it was delightful.  The temperature has finally dropped and was down right pleasant out there.  My run was better but not great.  Still I got out there!

The dead whatever was still out there but that was about it.

The Music:

It was good but then the girls got a hold of it and it’s several hours later, so I don’t remember the exact list.  sorry

 

My goal is to run once this weekend too!

Week 1 Day 3–Sept 28, 2011 3km!

Who was the spaz who decided to come back to running after a month off during the most humid week of the year???  oh yeah that was me :)

Well to say that this mornings run was soupy, than I’m not sure that’s enough to describe it.  It was gross.  I mean I’ve described runs before as like running through a cloud but this morning was worse and I couldn’t before imagine how.  But I did it, it wasn’t straight through, but ah well.  3km is harder than I remember lol

View from the path:

Today I walked Abby up to the bus then Rowan and I crossed the street and she went to daycare.  I love the convenience of it all.  Some days I even walk Rowan home from daycare with Dartagnan! crazy.

I started my run from Little Treasures and ran the block.  But because of where it is located, I ran the loop backwards which always makes for an interesting run.  Your landmarks are off and of course what’s normally uphill is downhill and vice versa. And that too makes for a challenge, especially in this heat.  I decided not to take Darty which was probably a good idea.  I did take him for a walk of our street when I got back, so I could cool down (which wasn’t possible, so muggy!)

I’m now 3 days for 3!!!  First week is always the easiest, it’s keeping it up for six weeks, now that’s the challenge :)

The Music:

• Safety Dance – Glee
• She’s Not There – The  Zombies
• Thanks for the Memories – Fall Out Boy
• Teenage Dream – Glee
• The Catalyst – Linkin Park
• Closer – Nine Inch Nails
• Any Way You Want It – Glee

As you all know I love me my Glee but I gotta say I’m a little disappointed so far with this season.  I love Rachel and Kurt but what about the rest of the cast?  Where’s my Finn, Puck and Arty??? Or just a group number? I’m just saying!

Until tomorrow!  Tennis lesson is on tap. Here’s hoping my shoulder is good to go!
