Friday 1/30

I haven't run in days. I meant to this morning, but I got home late from Albany last night, cooked dinner, had a glass of wine and that was the end of that thought. I slept in until 8:30 and I realize I've been on the internet/doing homework for almost three hours. Now it is time to go to work. I feel the difference when I don't exercise and I don't like it. Tomorrow it is the gym and at a minimum two miles.

Monday 1/26

Two miles. I need new shoes. My feet are killing me. I don't think it is because of the running, since I'm not doing a lot of mileage, but it kills me to wear heels for longer than 5 hours. It may be the waitressing too though. I love any excuse to buy new shoes, but this is legitmate. I will get some over the weekend, probably light miles for the rest of the week.

Sunday 1/25 Four Miles

I ran four miles this morning! Then I even went back and lifted this afternoon. I'm glad that a blog is a class assignment because this can be another motivational tool for me. Provided that I let my friends know I am keeping my progress online.

Sunday 1/25

It is 8:30 and ten minutes ago I was dreading the thought of running. I've had my instant oatmeal and put in (much to my upstairs annoynace I'm sure) some really loud music to get me motivated. I find that singing and picking up around the house gets me in a better mood and therefore makes me not loathe the thought of heading out. Heading out is not outside because I cannot run in the cold. I can, but then my joints ache for days. I am only 25, I wonder how it will be if and when arthritis completely consumes me not just in the cold, or during large barometric changes, but all of the time. I hope there is a cure. My gym opens at 9 am on Sunday. technically, I am not begining any training program until Feb bc I don't need to, but I may as well find the joy in running again before I have to. Truth be told I have never regretted a run I did, only not going for one.

Seriously, I didn't like the idea of crocheting.

Priscilla thought it would be a good idea if WE learned to crochet. I counter attacked with the idea of us running a marathon. Now I have to do both.
