It felt great to get outside and run with the ladies this morning.  We went our normal 3.5 loop and it felt really good.  I got home and my boys were just getting up, so we all went downstairs and I ran 2.5 more on the treadmill.  I'm happy to have a great start on the week!  Now I get to look forward to a day of mopping floors and doing laundry - you gotta love Mondays!

Well, once again it is Tuesday, which means I have a YW meeting at 9:00 and I didn't/won't get my run in this morning.  My goal was to get over 20 miles for the week, and I know that I won't be able to run at all on Saturday so I really need to get a run in at some point today.  We'll see if it happens!

 

Thank you for the support and encouragement to get out there and get a run in today.  I was able to head out at 4:00 this afternoon.  I had mapped out a run on "mapmyrun.com" and was excited to try something new.  Towards the end of my first mile I was really feeling bad and looked at my watch and realized I had done a 9:04 mile - no wonder I felt terrible.  I slowed it down and it felt great all the way to the end.  I got home and my husband had the boys out playing in the snow - does it really get better than that?!

Well today was FREEZING!  As we ran I was thinking that we are absolutuly crazy to be out running when it's this cold, but we perservered!  I went the 3.5 loop with the ladies and then came home and did 2 more miles on the treadmill.  I'm going to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, so I'm glad I burned a few extra calories, it will help with the guilt later on.

It was a slow start this morning.  I got myself all ready to go down and hit the treadmill and then I started finded all sorts of excuses not to go down.  After an hour I finally forced myself to do it.  My plan was to go 3.5, but fortunately the kids were doing pretty well and the run itself was feeling good, so I kept going.  Glad to be done!

Finally it's Friday!  I woke up this morning and every part of me was saying don't do it.  I did not want to run at all.  Then as I sat reading with my boys I realized that I will be sitting for 18-20 hours over the next 2 days and then I thought a run might do me some good.  I'm judging a high school dance competition this weekend and therefore my 3.5 miles today was a necessity.  I'm glad I reached my goal of at least 20 miles this week.  It's amazing how much the blog helps with the added motivation to run even when I don't want to.  So, thank you to all of you that take the time to read, comment & encourage me to keep going.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
