Week 2, Day 3–3km angry

Never run angry. 

That would have been good to realize this morning, because I did.  Rob got up early to run and didn’t wake me up.  I had a bizarre dream and when I did get up and realized the time, I was already off.  I ran into Abby’s room and scared the crap out of her because I was behind.  I threw clothes at her and then into Rowan’s room.  She was sleeping at the foot of her bed and was cranky (which isn’t unusual).  Then Rob meandered in to “help” but I told him to get moving himself.

So I found myself yelling a little more this morning.  Girls are off to school, Rob to work, I need to run.  Or so I thought.

My legs were heavy, I was angry and it felt like I hadn’t run in a month!  I hate that feeling.  But I did it!

Dead thing is still there, it’s so gross.  But at least it doesn’t smell. Plus trying not to cry I was so angry but by the time I finished I seemed to feel much better.

Week 2, Day 2–nothing!

I had plans to go to the gym but after my run, body pump class and two hours of tennis last night, I’m tired so I’m doing nothing today. Ok, well not nothing.  I’m getting ready with all the baking required for Canadian thanksgiving!

Until tomorrow!

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!
