Blitzed!

Okay tomorrow my baby gets baptized and I woke up thinking, i have to nair my face & arms, color my roots, go grocery shopping, wash sheets and press church clothes...

FORGET IT, go run! So I went 3.15 miles in 44:19 for a 14:04 pace... should have been better and this is why! I totally jogged non stop for 1/2 mile! twice!! And then I picked up these two books adding 11 pounds for the last 1/3 of a mile! Overall a happy girl! xo

Tired :/

not necessarily tired physically, as in lack of sleep, but emotionally! This is a big week, my baby is turning 8 tomorrow and going to be baptized... its a big one! One of those milestones you look forward to, but now that its here I wish it were in another year or two. Time is just passing too quickly with my brown bear, and I worry. I worry about how I am as a mom, how I love, teach, and prepare him for life and eternity. So much goes through my mind and I love that I get to be the one to share every day with him, but do I do enough?

It took me an extra half hour to get my mind together enough to get out the door! But when I did I was pleased Ü Honestly. There was a strong, hot wind from the south, I put on my week 2 playlist, I started up the hill and thought "This is crazy!" but kept up with the intervals. Going down the first hill I skipped the walk and did 2 legs of each in the jog! Intervals cutting back over and while going up the next hill got tired during the jog, walked less than 5 seconds then picked it back up. While crossing over I started the jog earlier and then jogged the last 1/4 mile without stopping! Huge for moi!

Went 2.1 miles in 28:54 for a 13:46 pace. Now on to finish party plans! xo

Back in the saddle!

Okay, so this weekend I was sore and deep-ended quite a bit (ashamed to admit, but I at one point even thought of quitting the Ragnar!), wishing my times were better than they are as distances increases and not wanting to disappoint my team but more so myself vs thinking about what I am doing that I have never done before, and it's pretty great!!

So, I decided to jump back on the C25K to help me walking but hate their sites techno crap music, but found and really like Carli''s Fat*Fit*Fierce podcasts for the training! After 2 months I am only on week 2 of endurance and did it! :P So, the run was just right, but the walking seemed a bit long, overall I am going to stick with it and hope my endurance builds!

SO- today I went 2.4 miles in 34:59 minutes for a 14:35 pace! I have to remember that 2 months ago I cringed at jogging for 15 minutes which now really is nothing, so in another 2 months I will feel that way about today! It can only get better from here Ü xo
