Day 10 of 84

Weather cleared up nicely for a 3 mile run today; ran with Sarah from her place up up up Harmony Road which I must mention is 1 straight km of HILL. Up. All the way up. Ugh. and then we tried to run up Barry Av too. So I figure the hills count for a little distance. OK Im feeling guilty about cutting the distance a bit. Not three miles.



Tomorrow I will make up for it by running with Taylor and doing my own run; and I will try to get to the gym.

Day 9 of 84

Crappy crappy weather today; much rain, much wind, much nasty.
So rather than the 3 mile run today I did tomorrow's 2 mile run on the treadmill. And tomorrow I will do the 3 mile run outside. I just dont see doing more than 2 miles on the treadmill...its so boring and my ankle hurts!!

It wasnt a bad run on the treadmill...it was so very hot in the gym tho, I was sweating and it was disgusting. But its done. I did stretch and do some hip ab and adductor reps and that was it.

Im researching a few exercises; a Never Get Hurt routine, hip strengthening routine, and a core exercises routine. Need to develop some of these. :)

day 7/8 of 84

OK I admit it, on my Sunday Supposed to Cross Train I did nothing. Nothing. Nada. Just tireddddd and cold and damp and it was raining and misery. So I did nothing.

Im concerned that Im already bucking the program and its only the first week.

So tonight after spending the day in Halifax I went to the gym and did 25 ish minutes on the eliptical machine (before damned thing turned off...time limits stupid) and then did arms, a little legs, and back on the machines. I actually think that went pretty well. Did a little extra stretching.

Then I picked Taylor up and went to soccer. We tied.

I think I did some adequate training tonight.

Tomorrow is a 3 mile run. Fun. Might get to go with Lavinia. Might not if its raining like it is supposed to. Not sure about 3 miles on a treadmill.....ugly.

Day 6 of 84

Today was supposed to be a cross training day but I again adjusted lol based on the weather forecast; today was raining and warm, tomorrow is supposed to be raining and cold so I did decide to go for my long run today rather than waiting and being stuck. I did the 4 mile loop on Valleydale Road which was Exactly 4 miles AWESOME and it was good; a lot of uphill on the way out and a lot of downhill on the way back. My hips Ached on the way home; better look for some hip strengthening exercises before they fall apart. But it was an awesome run, very enjoyable.



So cross training tomorrow, and this will be done at the gym; may also make it to a pick up hockey game in Tatamagouche tomorrow afternoon. Then a shorter run on Monday.

Day 5 of 84

Ooops. Garmin malfunction and I didnt know how far I went for first section; went 4.76 km in 35.07 minutes once it was working. Was supposed to only go 4.8 km in total (3 miles) but actually ended up going 3.7 miles or 5.95 km. The good news? I didnnt feel bad at all at the end. When I stopped, I didnt feel winded or tired, just a little achey at the hips and ankles. SIGH. It may be time to use new sneakers.

After the run I went into the gym and did some arm and shoulder and back weights. Think I am going to do Wii Fit core training starting tomorrow morning before I go to the gym. Tomorrow is cross training so I am going to bike to the gym :)

Day 4 of 84

Yup totally copped out already; I switched Friday's rest day with Thursdays 3 miles and strength training; Thursday was just SO busy and Friday was just so...not. Worked hard Thursday to finish some things up and now Friday after a meeting is so clear. Not that Im any less tired; I was totally dragging butt yesterday; but adrenaline might get me through today and a nap before going out tonight will really help the consciousness potentials. :) So Day 4 I did nothing but walk up the road with the kids. OH and worked. But Friday...will be a hard workout day :)

Day 3 of 84

Don't know how long I can keep this up! Its hard to find this much time in a day ;) let alone every day.
Only ran 3.21 km today (2 miles) but I was in a total time crunch to get kids picked up from school, and I tried to make it too fast. It felt like a much longer run that it actually was.


3 miles tomorrow.
