Seriously, this not working thing has messed up my sleep schedule! I usually go to bed at 9ish, and since I know I don’t have to be at work it has risen to past 10! Unfortunately, I still get up at the same time, because HELLO, getting to my job still required getting the kids ready and off to school, which I still have to do sans job. That one hour makes a big difference.

I was informed yesterday that since the hubby changed his classes around this semester our marathon training would be shifting. Apparently yesterday turned into day 1. It worked out ok, because the plan was to run for 20 minutes. That’s it. So even my wimpy run fit the bill! We are starting on week 6 of a 26 week plan, and it seems a little easy, but in like 2 weeks I will be singing a different tune I’m sure. Anyhow, today was my new rest day, but I wanted to try to run anyway since I didn’t do anything spectacular yesterday. I got half a mile in and my shins were killing me! I walked for a minute and ran some more. Same thing. So I only ran a mile. I didn’t want to stop though, so I kicked up the incline and lowered the speed to 4.1 for another mile. Total was 2.17 miles, but I am only counting the 1 mile run for my tracker. According to my handy dandy heart rate monitor, I was in the zone for 24 of the 30 minutes, so that is good. Speaking of heart rate monitor… my treadmill has one, and I always thought it was pretty accurate… it reads the same as my HRM as far as what my actual heart rate is. However, calories burned are WAY different. The treadmill says I burned about 75 more than the HRM. The only thing I can figure out is that my HRM knows I’m a girl and the treadmill doesn’t ask that. Damn men and their higher calorie burn. Anyhow, I am glad I have an accurate number, even if it is much lower. Oh, and my weight today was down one pound, so I am only one pound up from last weeks low. Yay!

Talk to ya later, chickies!

I suck today. I don’t know why, but I was SO snacky ALL day. I went over my calories by about 400, I think. And tomorrow is the official weigh in day. UGH. On a brighter note, everything I ate was healthy, so maybe I’ll get a kick butt run in the morning with all that extra energy :)

Night!
