andee's running

So, my replacement key for the treadmill finally arrived yesterday.  I know I will find the other one very soon and be so mad at myself to having to spend the $30 to get a new one. Anyway, the run went better than I had expected.  I felt really good the entire time and by the end was physically exhausted - sad, but true.  Now I just need to be more consistent.

Today I was on the treadmill again.  I was entertained the entire time by my boys playing football - it was hillarious!  I did a combination of walking/running and it felt pretty good.  I just got really hot which made it a little uncomfortable.  I'm excited to run outside this weekend.

With a very grumpy baby I was lucky to be able to get 2 miles in on the treadmill.  Just walked at a fast pace and on an incline to burn more calories.  Hoping to make it outside today or tomorrow for a good run.

Met the ladies at 6:30 this morning, which was quite difficult because I've been up for 2 nights with a cranky baby.  However, I'm very glad I went.  I think a huge part of running is the therapy involved by being with a great group of women.  We went on the regular route and I really pushed myself to make it up the hill - my legs were really burning and my breathing was super loud.  I was proud of myself for making it even though it was UGLY. (my dad used to always say, "a win is a win" and I guess I will have to go along with that today in that "a run is a run".
