Just a reminder, I'm coming off of a pregnancy. I had baby number 2 in december ( Hannah). And for some reason I'm more motivted to get back into running after this daughter then I was after my first daughter, Eveyln. I think it's because more weight has piled on me and I want to go back to being healthy and energetic. After Evelyn I ran and did some races but never put in the effort to run a solid race. I realized if I don't do it now it'll never happen. So I'm going to track my progress with this blog and hopefully see some results in the future.

Monday I ran 3.3 miles in my neighborhood.

My first mile had some uphill, which is killing me right now. The first mile was 10:13

Mile 2- 9:08

Mile 3 - 8:27

 

I also have 36 pounds to lose along the way. Hopefully that'll come off as I exercise and stay away from fattening foods and treats.

Today I jogged on the treadmill while my baby slept and my 2 year old colored by me. My calves were sore from yesterday. I think I'll go for a walk later when the kids are in bed and Riley is home.

Today I went to my friend Sariah Long's house and she whipped me with her boot camp exercises. It was 45 minutes of different exercises most of which included some weights that basically worked every muscle in my entire body. For someone who's out of shape it was difficult. We also did some abs at the very end. I felt uncoordinated and after it was over I felt like a 90 year old woman, moving slowly and complaining about how tired I was. But it was worth it. I hope to do this a couple of times a week with her.

 

In the evening when Riley got home from work I jogged 2.4 miles at a 10 mintue pace I was pretty worn out from boot camp but wanted to get an short run in.

I jogged 26 minutes on the treadmill I don't know the exact mileage because we have an old treadmill but it was probably about 2 miles. My leg muscles were really sore from boot camp yesterday.

Today I met up with Sariah again to do her weight lifting/crossfit exercises. It worked different muscles, so tomorrow every muscle in my body will be sore. I'm going to pass on running today so tomrrow I can get a 45 minute run in. That'll be my longest to date.

I ran 4.2 miles at an average pace of 9:35. It was a really nice day and I felt pretty sore from weight training this week but I was happy with my run.
