I am sadly reporting that I did not work out today. . . . I feel lazy. I am not going to make excuses, I just didn't. I really need to start getting up earlier in the morning so I can fit it in BEFORE Bryan gets up and we make plans for the day. Ugh, Sorry. . . I will make sure to fit it on tomorrow. One day off is okay right? Oh wait I take Sunday off. . . never again! (never again will I miss a day other than Sunday, just clarifying) :)

Ugh.......

Well I think today I over did it. I jogged for 1.6 miles and then did a brisk walk for .4 for a total of 2 miles. I was going to do 3 miles but then I thought I might not make it through weight class! Towards the end of my jog my knee started to ache, so when I was done I did some really good stretching. I went to weight class and we did triceps, biceps and shoulders and my knee did not hurt then. But now it is really sore again! I think I will have to take a day off tomorrow so I don't kill it so bad that I can't do anything! I will be back to the gym on Friday for weight class where we will be doing all legs! Yikes! I think I will start swimming when it gets cooler. I don't really feel like being in a heated pool when it is so hot outside!!

I just got done kicking the crap out of myself. I swam today. . .for about 15 minutes. THEN, after Bryan left for school, I decided to go to our gym here at the apartments and try out their treadmills. I ran (jogged) for .33 mile then walked to .36 mile then jogged to about .47 mile then cooled down and ended at about a .75 mile. It took me a little under 14 minutes. Not too terribly bad for my first time back on the ol' treadmill in YEARS :) Baby steps. . . .

Bargain!
So, I am a little short on running/working out attire. I went to the local Goodwill just to kill some time. I don't usually buy stuff only because I hate sifting through so much junk in hopes of finding something good. But. . . today I was feeling patient and it paid off. I found some REALLY cute white and pink Abercrombie 70's style shorts. They look brand new! They rang up only $1.99! I'm pretty sure they are Girls large, but they fit. Anyway. . .so I guess now I don't have a reason to NOT START RUNNING :)

Still Runnin!!
Jennifer:
So last night after I posted I thought I would look up to see what I actually got myself into. So looks like we will be running 3.1 miles, biking 12.4 miles and swimming for 500 yards (10 laps). I thought to myself, geez 3.1 miles is a BREEZ! I can do that now with no problem. So after my boy got out of Kindergarten the next day we went to the gym and I started on my 3.1 mile jog, I know I can't run it yet, well it was A LOT harder than I thought it was going to be! So I settled for a 1 mile jog and then a half mile brisk walk and then a 1 mile jog and then another half mile brisk walk and then I cooled down for about 5 minutes. I am hoping tomorrow I can jog for 1.5 miles and then do a half mile brisk walk and then another 1.5 mile jog. I have put off the swimming. I know I need to get started. That is going to be the hardest part for me. I think the hardest part of swimming, besides the swimming of course, is that there will be people watching! I HATE it when people watch me! Guess I will have to get over that one!
