I was a little bummed this weekend b/c I didn't have anyone to sit with the kids on Saturday so I didn't get a walk in. I was going to take the boys out for a stroll at least but it was raining :( There is still no excuse b/c I could have done an excercise dvd or something.
I did train on Sunday but was a little upset b/c I don't think I did the full 4 miles. I didn't track a route b/c so I tried to just shoot for 10,000 steps on my pedometer. It was 2:15 in the afternoon with the sun beaming down and I added in a few small hills. About an hour into it my knee started aching and I ran out of water. . .I really felt like I had the energy to do more but I didn't want to injure myself and be completely out of the game. So, I stopped. I did about 3.5 miles. I really want to shoot for 5 miles this weekend.
I found a website that will let you upload your walking route and view other routes, which is cool. I found a couple for Smyrna and La Vergne and am going to look up a couple for the west end/vandy area so I can jog on my lunch break.
Sometimes I feel like David--ill equipped and outnumbered--b/c I'm starting from ZERO and others are already running like 8 miles etc. Lord, I know I can do this. I know I can finish this half marathon. I know that I can stay committed to my training and complete the goal set before me. Amen!
So proud of you Sista Girrlll.... I found a new Chiropractor and I am feeling like I may be able to start getting back in shape without the pain. How about you be my trainer...?

ReplyDeleteI started the blog as a way of keeping myself accountable and as an avenue to possibly inspire others to shoot for a seemingly "imposssible" goal. Stay tuned!!!
