Week 2

Exercise: Running
Distance: 3.00 miles
Time: 31.00 minutes
Average Pace: 10.20/mile
Location: dreadmill
Weather: 20F, snowy.

So, we're back on the wagon as of yesterday. I started with strength training yesterday and ran today. I got one of those big ridiculous looking balance balls for my house because I feel like an idiot trying to do stuff on it at the gym. So I rolled around in my living room last night and scared the hell out of my cat. I did lots of upper body and core work, and threw in some squats and lunges even though I hate them.

Running today on the treadmill was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. For the record, I hate Hate HATE the treadmill but I think running outside in the cold is how I got sick in the first place. Until the weather improves, I'm going to have to bite the bullet to get my miles in. It's SO boring and people at the gym annoy the living crap out of me and all I want to do is stop and go home and sulk in my apartment. But it has to be done! The half is now less than 11 weeks away so it's really time to buckle down if I plan on running this thing.

I just have to keep reminding myself: DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.

You're right, time to buckle down! Good for you for gutting it out on the Treadmill. And squats and lunges will get you very strong. Good job! :)
