Week 4

This week was so so. Half of the week I ran and the other half I was chasing kids around. I didn't do my long run on Saturday b/c Clint and I stayed up to late talking and we went to the zoo that morning. But I feel okay about it in all. I did learn that I run farther and faster outside than I do on the treadmill. So today I will go run when Clint gets home so he can watch the kids for a half hour and then I will try to make week 5 better than I did last week. I am gaining more confidence in myself and realizing a lot about myself during this process. I should have started this a long time ago.

Week 3

So I had great intentions all week to work out. On Sunday when we came home form family things Kaily started to complain about her tummy and throat hurting. I thought it was just her being SO tired and worn out from spending the night with cousins. The next day she went to Preschool and was just fine. I got in 30 min of good running while listening to Conner cry. Monday night she got a high fever and started to do shake. The next day I watched her closely and she was SO clingy. I took her in on Wednesday and found out she had Strep. So b/c Clint was trying to get midterms done and other homework I didn't run b/c both kids just wanted their mom. Wed, more of the same; Thurs, more of the same. Friday came and Conner was acting sick and I took him into the Dr. This time he has an ear infection in her left ear. So...Hopefully now that we have the kids on meds week 4 will be much better.

Week 2

This week has been a bit more challenging to do. Late nights, late mornings all equal to an uneven wkout. I am actually doing my long run tomorrow b/c it's supposed to snow on Sat and last week I ran in the rain, but this week I don't want to run in the snow. I will do the regular work out the rest of the week and start regular again on Monday. The good news is it is getting easier, the whole running bit. Maybe someday I will be able to run that hill next to my house that is a mile long.

1 week down

Well...I did it! I wked out all week and ran a good 2 1/2 miles this morning. It is feeling really good and the best part is that inches are coming off. The weight part was nice, but I really want the inches off more than the weight. That will take care of itself with proper eating and continued exercise.
