Yay for me!

I did it! I accomplished my goal for today. Edgar and I (and Eli) went for a run. That's right, I can officially call it a run, because I am running more than I'm walking :) I did my route and ran 5 minutes and walked 3. The last 5 minute run actually was almost 6 because I was almost home and I made myself keep running (felt like I was going to throw up...) I did this all in 45 min. 52 seconds. Now, I realize that I am not going to win any medals at that pace (unless I am one of two people in my age division...long, embarrassing story...) but I'm pretty happy with it-especially considering 2 weeks ago that same route took me 59 minutes 58 seconds (under an hour, remember?!)

SO, what are my goals for this coming week? This week might be tricky because we're leaving next Saturday, and we have a lot to do...so here's my plan:

Monday: Run 6 walk 3 (getting ambitious here...)

Tuesday: Off

Wednesday: I'm going to try and run...but I am suppose to meet some friends at 10, so we'll see...If I can run, I'll Run 6 walk 3 again. Maybe I'll do that when Edgar gets home...in the 6:00 heat :(

Thursday: Off

Friday: Run 6 Walk 2 (That makes me tired just thinking about it...)

Saturday is a travel day, so we'll see...I might try and go that evening when we get to Michigan. We should be to my parent's house by 5, and it is SO much cooler up there, so I might try and do a quick run. Maybe I'll try and run 2 miles straight...

SO, that's my plan. Thanks, Renae, for the check-up call this morning :) Remember when we were training for the Dallas Marathon together, and we'd call each other each Saturday to see how our long runs went? It always mildly annoyed me that you finished your runs an hour before I did, but oh well :) Back in the day when running 3.42 miles was nothing...

No big plans for today. Just cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and going to my book club tonight. It's pretty nice to have a Saturday 'off'.
