Week 8 & Week 9

Week 8:

Week 8 kinda sucked.  Went to the gym Monday and Tuesday.  Thursday I didn't make it cause little man had his 15 month check up (my little boy is getting so big).  Friday I didn't make it either...over slept.  The days that I actually went to the gym was tough because I didn't feel like being there but I made and I made sure that I got in at least 2 miles in my normal time.  I think I am bored doing the same thing every time I go.  Every time it's the same thing over and over...get on the elliptical and go as long as I can.  Time to change it up.

Week 9:

This week has been better.  I think it's because the 5k is tomorrow.  Monday and Tuesday I "ran" on the elliptical.  Wednesday the kiddies and I went to the park to play with friends.  Thursday..OMG there were a lot of people on the cardio deck.  I warmed up on the treadmill (1 mile) and did a 3 mile "bike" ride.  I decided to take it easy today and not go to the gym.  I am sooo excited about the race tomorrow!!  I want to shout from the rooftops that I'm running my first 5k tomorrow!!

Week 7

I did good this week.  I made it to the gym early enough to start extending my work outs.  Z makes it a little difficult when she gets uber clingy and it takes 10 minutes for me to leave the playroom but hey I get it done.  I finished my 2nd mock 5k today and I shaved a 1.5 minutes off my first time!!  I also finished my first mile today at 12:40 minutes!!  2 more weeks until the big race!!  I gotta get some new shoes before then.

Monday: 2.3 miles 30 min

Want these!!

Wednesday : 2.6 miles 34 min
Thursday: 2.8 miles 36 min
Friday : 3.1 miles 39 min

Week 6

For some reason this week seems like a blur.  Could be because last weekend was jam packed with activities.  Could be because I didn't even want to go to the gym at the beginning of the week but hey I pushed though and made it to the end of the week!!  I'm pretty sure that I ran/jogged/walked 2 miles Monday and Tuesday.  I do know for sure that on Monday my first mile was finished in 14 mins.  Wednesday I didn't go to the gym because the pile of laundry was threatening to overflow.  I was going to take Gretchen out and see how long we took but it started raining cold rain.  Thursday was a bad day...I barely got 20 mins in at the gym because a certain little lady was being irritatingly stubborn. Today was awesome...today I did a mock 5k on the elliptical and I finished in 40:30 mins!!
