Minor Setback, Small Victory

I went to the gym alone again tonight, pumped and ready for more of this week three exercise-fest. Go me for making it! But when I got there, I got tired fast. I wasn't able to do 90 seconds of jog/90 seconds of walking 3 minutes of jogging/3 minutes of walking. Instead, I stuck with 90 seconds jogging, 90 seconds walking. That might take me back to week 1.5, but I had to listen to my body's limits. I'm slightly bummed that with all my working out this weekend (Saturday and Sunday with Sonnie at the rec center, plus skating--also with Sonnie--on Saturday), that my performance was so lackluster. Nevertheless, I'm proud of me for making it out. So maybe my 9 weeks to 5k will be slightly longer, but I should still definitely be ready by late March.

Go team!

Mary, there are going to be some days that you just won't have the energy to do what you expect your body to do.

And I know it's hard to muster up excitement when your girls...Chrissy and I...aren't there. :)

By the way...wanna meet Saturday at 10 am at the rec center?

There are some days that I am just proud of myself for just getting there. You should be too! Yesterday I was not going to go to the gym. It was 20 degrees outside and my bed was oh-so-warm. I finally left the house and it there with only 20 minutes to workout. 20 minutes is more than 0 minutes.

I am so proud of all of us!
