I got in 15 min of some hard basketball defense Fri night helping my Dd 3 on 3 team practice. Did 90 min of hiking through the woods, fields, valleys etc... during the 3FC 5K today with my two youngest.
Weekends are nearly impossible to escape for a run due to our work schedules. However, I am always happy to get out there on Monday morning for a run. I am probably one of the few people who love Mondays!
I got out there and ran another 4 miles. After school, rode bikes with the kiddies for 2 miles.
I'm loving the freedom that comes from recording my exercise in hours rather than miles. I'm still walking far more than any other type of exercise, but am fitting way more yoga into my schedule than ever before. I did 4 miles with a friend yesterday. It was sunny and warm warm yesterday. Our forecast for the week is more of the same. Yippee!!!
Gary, I can not tell you how awesome your 5K was. I'm just amazed at how you have personally responded to EVERYONE!!! Your effort really inspired a lot of people to go farther and do more than they thought possible. Your concern made me feel so validated. Thanks again for starting AND seeing through something so cool!!!
I took Monday off since my hip was screaming at me from Sunday's 5k and went back to running today. I could have squeezed in a 5k today but I don't want to push it, so I did a comfortable 2.5 mile run, total 3.25 miles. I think I will stay there another week or so until I feel really good about adding in more mileage. Seems silly, but that extra .60 miles is the difference between a hard but awesome workout and being sidelined for a day or two. Gotta work up to it!
9 weeks until DH comes for a visit. I really want to be at 3-4 miles by then and I think I can make that happen since I am comfortable at 2.5 now! I actually think that 5k woke up my body because I was struggling with 1.5 mile runs just a week ago. Thanks Gary!!!
Doing good here too. The weather is simply beautiful. 60+ degress the past two days and more of the same predicted for the rest of the week. I got out and did another 4 miles with a friend yesterday. Today is going to be iffy. I'm working all morning and then spring concert and other sruff at school all afternoon and choir practice this evening. But, I'm going to try!!!
