two upper body days done!

Felt great.  Ran 30 minutes yesterday - harder than I expected, but I did it.  Vaseline did wonders for my feet - hooray! Looking forward to running Friday.  Tomorrow will be too busy.  Hope you all are having a great week!

4 Miles Done!

Ran 4 miles yesterday - walked once.  Feet are blistered - Ruth, did you say that Body Glide stuff will work for that?  My arches are ruined.  Glad to hopefully get some weights in this week at some point, although I have no idea when that will be.

Running in the Rain

Well it was more of a mist, but it felt incredible!  I tried running on Wednesday,but the sun was so hot and intense that I ended up walking most of the second half.  I just wasn't motivated at all Wednesday.  I didn't have a ton of motivation today (I've been stressing this week trying to get organized and plan my wedding!), but all the clouds gave me what I needed to get me out there.  I huffed and puffed for the first long while, and then about 10 minutes into it I settled into a good pace and kept that up for the rest of the run.  When it did sprinkle on me, I felt super relieved.  It was a good run, not a great run by any means (found it harder to breathe today - I think it's allergies).  Still, I enjoyed it and it really helped clear my mind.  I pushed myself pretty hard and went father by .02 miles (haha) than I have on a 30 minute run before.  My head was kind of spinning when I finished, and I was supposed to run sprints afterward, so I cooled down and then ran 4 sprints back home, taking each one as it came and knowing that if I kept feeling bad, that I wouldn't run another.  But I did all 4 - woohoo!  My sprints are AWESOME after I run - my stride is huge and I'm WAY faster.  I like it.  :-D  Then I stretched, another woohoo!  Now I'm tired.  :(  4 mile run this weekend (probably Sunday).  I'm a little iffy about it, but I'm going into it knowing that if I have to walk part of it it's OKAY.  Now back to wedding planning - you think maybe that's why my head is spinning????

Well I really stink at this whole posting thing lately...

Haha, thanks Josha for spilling the beans, I've been WAY too busy to even think about posting.  My brain is constantly going, "What do I need to plan next?"  So yeah, I'm engaged - YEAH!  I guess it all happened this past Saturday evening.  Here's the full scoop, and soon, I will have a special "We're getting married" page on there.  This morning I'm actually torn between working on that and running.  Tonight we're leaving straight from work to go eat dinner at his parent's house up in the mountains.  What I'll probably do is run tomorrow, but I'm not exactly sure.

we did it!

Upper body today was great!  I didn't kill myself, although I was exhausted afterward.  I was in pain for almost a week after last Monday's work out, so I took it a little easier, but not much really.  Some exercises I did more than I thought I could, others I did what I thought.  All of it was good, and it felt great to be in the work out room again here in town.  Back, biceps, and abs tomorrow - woohoo!  Then another run on Wednesday - SO EXCITED about that!  I'm loving this long distance thing!  Bout to put up my Nike+ widget, so check that out!

What a run!!!

Arms are finally not as sore anymore!  Woohoo!   Yesterday we danced and danced in a nearby town.  Super fun, but super exhausting!

I just completed my longest run yet - 2.77 miles!!!! Hooray for me.  I never ever ever thought I'd be able to run long distances, but it's been so fabulous deciding that I CAN!  Upper body lifting today.  Excited about that too!

More yeow!

All I can say is that I need a hot bath.  SO SORE already!

Yeow!

Can't lift my arms above should height - ouch!  Had  a good 25 minute run on the elliptical yesterday, not my favorite way to run at all, but I did it!  Woohoo.  Seriously though, my arms hurt, and yes, I'm being a HUGE baby about it.  :-D  Hooray for biceps and back today with abs!

Update

No posts for awhile because I've been out of a program for the last month and have been doing random amounts of working out here and there.  Good news is: I can run two miles without walking, I got a Nike+!, new program and regular posts start on Sunday or Monday - YAY!
