Ah, well about the plan.
Originally I thought, Friday relax, Saturday Bike Ride, Sunday run. And then Friday night Chris broke his wrist in a biking accident. I was a little unsure as to how incapacitated he would be, and reluctant to go out for a few hours leaving him to manage Porter, and the dogs. Add to that our area was roughly the same temperature as the sun, only with humidity, and I completely blew off bike ride.
Last night my first week of working out, stress, and a few bad nights of sleep earlier in the week caught up with me. I was passed out by 9:30. I didn't hear Chris come into the room, and if Porter fussed at all last night, well we had some Ferber time. I woke up at 7AM much more human.
So I did get out this AM for the dog walk and run before everyone woke. This morning was at least only 72, albeit rather humid. I walked the dogs around the short block (0.3 miles), dropped Fred off, and went for a run with Ginger. I felt like hell. I decided to incorporate the first few feet of a hill I will need to do ultimately if I continue on this running circuit. But really in general I just wasn't feeling that great. So I pulled the plug at roughly 0.5 mile. Not an awesome day, but it's something.
Still no progress for me on the nutrition front. Today's learning experience: It doesn't take long for toenails to be a problem. After I got home, I trimmed mine because they were causing me some pain. Sheesh. Who knew pedicures were part of the running routine? I could get into that!
Mileage: 1.5 miles total, 0.5 miles running
Hey - you got out there again! think about it, this week you did 1.75 miles of running that you had not done in ages, got out there 3 times for said runs, and two mid-day workouts at work - that's an excellent increase from last week. Discovered a new side to Ginger and your toenails (yes - too long or two short are problems when running, esp non-flat courses...if pedicures keep you running, go for it!). I say the week gets two thumbs up.
