Day 65

Day 65

I rode the recumbent bike for 30:19 for 8.22. I exercised late as I was waiting for a few of my employees to call me back after leaving a message. 2 out of the 7 did...hmmm...guess that will be another phone call tomorrow!

I did want to run but didn't want to run too late or I would be up all night. I watched today's Inside Dish with Ross Matthews and the pre-interview that he did with Michele of BB11. So bummed she is not in the final 2!

Day 64 -- a nice walk

Day 64 -- a nice walk

I walked downtown Gig Harbor for 53:00 for approx 2.5. It was fun and much needed as I haven't had any exercise since Sunday, I think! I also am in training this week and it was nice to get outside and get some fresh air with the nice ladies that am training with!

Day 63 -- finally a run before Wednesday!

1 @ 3
2 @ 3.5
2 @ 4
11 @ 4.5
16 @ 4
1 @ 3.5
1 @ 3 - 2.5
1 @ 2 - 1.5

This run was a bit easier but I made the mistake of wearing my old shoes as I had the new ones packed. My knee started bothering me about 20 minutes in. At least the gentleman at The Running Revolution was right and I DID buy the right shoes. Woo hoo!

Also, I totally could have gone longer if not for my knee. I really monitored my breath and could not take a blood pressure off my watch 'cause that is packed so I was focused on how I FELT not how my BP was. I was able to get the treadmill to give me the 167 but it takes FOREVER to get a reading!!

After I shower and get ready, I am off to training and am excited to get back to work! Yesterday and last night...not so much...but today, I am ready!!

I am going to do my darndest to exercise in the morning every day that I am there so I can get my lungs and muscles used to exercising more than once a week!!

See you tomorrow!!

Wowee, this was a tough one for me! I definitely need to run/exercise more than just once a week!! I did not, at any time, enjoy this run. I did watch The Listener on NBC's website. Darn shame the show got canceled!

Well, can't think of anything else to add. I hope to be here tomorrow. I was going to use the Advanced Beginner 10K schedule but I think I need to get back in shape first. Maybe in a couple of weeks I will try to start on that.
