I did 2 miles PLUS an extra 1/3 of a mile today. Tough. My knee started to hurt (I've had 3 surgeries on it). That discouraged me thinking I'll never get much further.
Mark (hubby) ran with me which was nice.

Day off today. Last night I had dinner with my best friend. I haven't had more than a glass of wine in awhile - tonight I had 3. I'm glad I don't have to run this morning. GRIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's also the last day of work - I'm a teacher. Yesterday was the kids' last day. Today is mine. Lots of paperwork and I'm through.
But don't think teachers don't work in the summer. I have committee work to do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - and that's just the start. I do get meager pay for the extra hours.

It's been a WEEK

I didn't want to today - but I did. I pushed myself (get ready to be impressed). I did 2 miles in 27 minutes. LOL. 3 minutes off and it almost killed me - well, I'm exaggerating - I could breathe and all - but it was hard. I did intervals - "fast," and slooow.

Tuesday

I did it! I got up at 6:15 am and jogged. I never did the mornings of a school day before because of the kids. My middle child - 13 - is a slug and is very hard to get up. I knew I had to be back in time to make sure he had his medication and got out the door by 7:04 (he's precise). I woke him and told him I was leaving. Well, when I got home (6:51, I actually left at 6:21), he was up! Great news.

Only 3 more days of school. Summer running should be okay - no kids to deal with. My biggest worry is that I won't feel like it one day, and just lapse........

Yesterday I ate 2 cookies because it's Oreo Cookie activities at school in my classroom. I have to remember not to eat just because I'm running (I mean eat yucky stuff).

Monday, Monday

My legs are slightly sore - that's a good thing. Today is pump, tomorrow jog, wednesday rest.
I'm sleepy today - didn't sleep that well probably due to some wine with dinner after bridge with the folks. Ah well - life has a variety of funs - we should experience them all. :)

My first two days

Yesterday I decided that I would be a runner. HA HA. It came up when I was talking to my principal at a party. She runs. I've worked out all my life - why not run?
Day one (yesterday) - 2 miles on the treadmill - 30 minutes
Today - 2 miles in the heat outside - 30 minutes.
Not fast. turtle pace.
Goal? Broad Street 10 miles in May.
