In three more days it will officially be one month of me NOT
training for a marathon! I’m so proud of myself. I have not been this focused
on exercising every day for a long time. I have definitely found the perfect
exercise program for me!
So I get up late (again) and get to the track at almost 8
am. I’m telling you this has got to stop. My hectic life begins at 8:30 am each
morning so I really need to get to the track by 7:15 at the latest. That way I
will have at least an hour to run/walk if I wish to. I said "wish to" because I
am NOT ready to run/walk for an hour. However, I can tell you I am definitely
getting to the point where I can run/walk 2 ½ miles with little ease so an
hour’s run/walk may not be too far off.
Today, I ran/walked 2.66 miles. I
didn’t break any speed record like I did yesterday but my time for that first
mile was pretty much the same. I wanted to beat yesterday’s time but it was
humid out and I didn’t have as much energy as I seemed to have yesterday.
It also started raining lightly just as I started finishing
up the second mile. I was prepared with my umbrella so everything was good. I
think I’m going to get me a little running backpack and leave it by the
entrance of the track. It will be equipped with an umbrella, water, some
dog treats and whatever else I can think of as time goes on. This way I will be prepared
for anything. You’d think I was going hiking in the jungle instead of running
on the track, right?
I will tell you this, as corny as I think they look, it may
be time for me to get a sweatband for my head. I’m really tired of sweat
running down my face and into my eyes. It seems that as time goes on, I end up
getting everything I saw runners on the side of the road have that I would
normally laugh at. I guess if you take
your run/walks seriously, being prepared is a major part of it.
Anyway, I’m late and I don’t have much time to write so I
wish you all a great day.
Until tomorrow…
