Road trip redux–aaarrrggghhh!
Quick post. Logged a whopping 1333 steps today (eh gads!) & 550 miles driving back from hubby’s house. Given that we had friends over last night for ham & bean soup, homemade bread, homemade Boston cream pie (hubby even makes the vanilla pudding from scratch), salad, olives, & wine, these exercise stats won’t quite cut it. Now V. worried about Friday’s weigh in.
So I’m exhausted from loading/unloading the car & the agonizing drive, but I decided to get on the treadmill for at least 20 mins anyway. I mean, I can’t go to bed having logged only 1333 steps! That’s insane! Managed to do 31 mins instead & even cranked up the speed and ran for a bit of the trek. So now I’m sweaty & V. tired, but feeling better and more myself than I would’ve if I’d followed my old pattern & put on PJs rather than sweats & crawled into bed rather than jumped on the treadmill. I really like how far I’ve come in only 5 weeks.
Have a busy morning of paper grading & conferences with students, then class all afternoon, but I think a long walk/run tomorrow night will make me feel better about last night’s dinner & today’s long drive. Then on to week 5 of the C25K…can’t wait!
Getting caught up on blogs today. Good for you, getting on the tm. after that drive!!! Lived in Mi. (Lansing area) 7 yrs. in the late 70’s; understand Marquette to be gorgeous! My dh is younger too.
