This Week Four stuff ain't so bad!

I actually did much better on this run. I wasn't as nervous so I just let things go the way they are supposed to and I did great. Not quite 2 miles, but I didn't cool down for 5+ minutes. I was in a hurry to get back home.

I'm excited to keep on track. I want to move to the next week. The only downside to this podcast is the music. I know that in order for him to broadcast them on the internet he had to used canned music or stuff that he wrote and recorded, but man, it's a drag.

And what the hell is wrong with using closed captioning on the tvs at the gym? I keep forgetting to ask, but this one club I go to doesn't EVER have them on. So strange. So I have to sit there and imagine the trash that is coming out of New York's mouth and hoping that Oprah doesn't say something to awe inspiring.

Doing the two mile dance

I finished this morning's run at 2 miles! WAHOO! Sweet! And I just realized my feet don't hurt at all today! unh unh unh unh (dance music)

So week four was kind of boring. Knowing that Robert wouldn't be cutting in to stop me and make me walk or run meant I had to entertain myself the entire time I was running. I guess this is the part where I figure out how to entertain myself - how the heck am I ever supposed to run a marathon if I can't keep myself going?

Time to get imaginative.

And dance! doo doo do doooooo

Kickin' Ass

It's been a couple of days, but I did a Week 3 run on Wednesday and rocked it! The last minute of the 3 minute run was tough, but the rest of the run was cake. So I'm going to step it up tomorrow morning to the Week 4 workout. Wahoo! I love seeing progress.

Back on Track!

WAHOO! I'm back in the running. My left foot still is being a bitch, but I figure I'll just have to run through it. I'm taking it steady and slow, but I'm so excited to be on track again.

I ran the other night, week two again, and felt really good about it. I'm not necessarily counting my ww points, but I AM watching what I eat each meal and trying not to graze too much in the middle. We'll see what happens. Tonight I'm going for Week 3 so I'll update tomorrow how that went!

2nd times a fart

My feet still hurt like a bitch. BUT at least I'm trying. That's what I keep telling myself. I found my headphones, but when I turned on my iPod all of my podcasts that I've listened to previously are gone. That's when I remembered that I had to do a hard reset to my iPod and all my settings were reset.

So I listen to Tool instead. It was needed, trust me. I'm going to step it up on Friday. Although I'm really starting to feel nervous about my feet. I don't want to have crazy crooked toes because I run. But I don't have $400 dollars to drop on a new pair of running shoes, and I really don't want to have surgery on my feet when I've got to take care of two little kids.

Whine whine whine

Back on Track

Headphoneless I trudged my way back to the gym. I didn't restart the program because I couldn't do it without Robert. He's the running god in my ipod. He spurs me on, lets me know when I can relax, and makes me feel like I've accomplished something.

But the biggest thing about today was my actually going. I'm going again on wednesday and if I can find my beloved ear buds will be starting again. I'm also going to knock five lbs off asap, so that I can get a better rate on life insurance. Wish me luck!
