IRISH JIG, HERE I COME!
I can’t wait for this race tomorrow! I did a little running yesterday. My mom’s block is 1 mile, so I grabbed her dog and went for a run. My first lap I took about 4 walk breaks. It was so cold, my lungs couldn’t handle it. It was also a little off because of the dog, obviously she didn’t care about timing and such. She just wanted to smell and chase squirrels. I left her at home and added a pair of gloves for my 2nd lap, which I ran the WHOLE mile in only 11:58, my best time yet! Then for the 3rd time around I added another block and grabbed the dog again. We just walked at a fast pace. Patti and I also did our chest/tri/abs day which, have I mentioned, I HATE AB DAY! ouchie… That gave me the time I needed to finish the SB Challenge.
This morning I had a 3lb loss! Thank goodness because I wasn’t sure I had done enough M-Th after how aweful I ate last weekend. This week, I would love to lose 4lbs because that will put me at 80lbs lost! I plan on eating OP and working out 7 days this week! (I’m counting the Irish Jig on Sat as my workout) I also decided with my new running routine that I need to add some stretches to my day. My plan is to try and stretch really well for about 10 minutes a day. (in addition to my stretching I do before I run, obviously) I really want to be careful because an injury would be bad for my weight loss! I read some articles on different running web pages (I’m in the beginning stages of addition to running, lol) and have been trying to be protective of my knees. I am still a 251lbs woman running around, ya know, I’m sure my knees are thinking “Holy Hell, what is she doing to us!?” They’ll be OK, I got their back!
