Just for Fun

My mom has an exercise bike and this morning I used it for 10 minutes. Seth left today for Colorado Springs. He is picking up some furniture from his sister. He will be back tomorrow. So I couldn't exercise with him today. My mom and I went to town (which is an hour away) to go to WalMart and to visit my sister. On the way home I was really tired and wanted to fall asleep in the car, but my mom and I were talking so I didn't. I didn't get a nap again today and I was pretty tired and didn't really want to exercise, especially since I would have to exercise by myself. But then I thought of all the fire and brimstone chastisement you all would give me if I missed another day.

So we got home around 7:00. I fed the baby and ate dinner and was hoping to start running right after dinner. The baby was crying because he was tired and giving him to my mom only made him cry harder. So I took him to put him to sleep. It took a LONG time to get him to sleep so that by the time he was asleep and I was ready to start my run it was getting pretty dark. I took my parents dog out with me to run but as it got darker I felt pretty uncomfortable (don't want to get eaten by a bear just yet). So I ended up power walking for 5 minutes, running for 5 minutes, and then did 15 more minutes on my mom's bike. I didn't get quite the workout I wanted but at least I got some running in and at least I didn't have to end my workout with just a short run. I'm glad I was able to use her bike.

My total bike miles for today were 6.1 miles. When Seth gets back he is going to measure the distance that I ran (even though it wasn't much).

In the morning I biked for 10 minutes. In the afternoon I walked for 10 minutes and jogged for 15.

I got into bed around 8:30 pm with the intention to sleep for about an hour, wake up, exercise, eat, feed the baby, and then go back to bed. Well I didn't wake up until 3:00 in the morning when the baby got hungry. Oops.

Yea! Seth and I added another 5 minutes to our run. Today we walked for 5 minutes as a warm up. Then we ran for 25 minutes! We got out even further than the time I ran with Lybi. I was so excited. We are getting better and better and running is feeling better too.

But there was a downside! I got attacked by the mosquitoes! And for some reason they bit me only on the fatty part of my calves! I have like 20 mosquito bites on each calf and no where else! It looks like I have some kind of nasty rash. I hate mosquitoes!

Oops. I did it again. So last time I fell asleep at 8:00 intending to get up and exercise. Well this time I fell asleep at 6:30 intending to get up in about an hour and exercise. Well I slept until 10:30, ate dinner, fed the baby. Now it's almost midnight and it's time to go back to sleep. Lybi's right, I must have a sleep mortgage. :) I guess I might have to start exercising in the morning again.
