Week 2, Day 4–tennis lesson

hey there all.  Today was my tennis lesson day and I only needed to take a break once. So much better than my first lesson 3 weeks ago.  It’s a great workout running around the court, so much different from just running forward.

I’m enjoying being back on the court and having great encouragement by the tennis pro as well as my family. It’s great!  I especially enjoyed going into the proshop to pay for my lesson and having the lady behind the desk ask if I was Karen, from Monday night quads.  I said yes and her response was, “oh, I hear you’re good”.  Ego boost!

Tomorrow is another 3km run and body pump!  Then the big 5km (3mile) run on the weekend.  It’s not Rob’s 16 mile run, but it’s still a big one :)

Until tomorrow!

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!

View from the path:

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!
