Yesterday I had a REALLY shitty workout – it was raining outside so I went to the little Gold’s Gym that’s closer to me, but I don’t like. I think it was really hot in there for something, but it too everything I had to run 3 miles. I actually had to break it into two 1.5 mile runs with a rest/stretch break in between.
So today I was determined for a good work out. My 5K is in 1 week and I wanted to hit it hard. It was BEAUTIFUL out and I wanted to push myself. I ended up doing a 5.3 mile run with like an 1 hour 10 minutes. The hardest part of my run is the first ½ mile because I have to run uphill on my street – yuck. I just really enjoy running outside. I mixed up some routes so I got some new views. When I was running by campus I saw Aubie (our tiger mascot) in a car and he blew me a kiss. I also got honked at once (that I heard…I had my music blaring).
My feet are hurting me now a few hours later, but everything else feels okay. I feel good that I pushed myself. I really think I am gonna commit to a half marathon for the fall. I want to finish my 5K next week and see what an actual “race day” feels like. I’m sure it will be great, but I don’t want to get to ahead of myself either. However once the 5K is over I am going to investigate some half marathon options.
Oh and I got a few more “you look good/skinny” comments this week which was quite exciting.
Also I came across another weight loss tumblr by a girl who has a lot in common with me. I am really debating switching/transferring this blog to a tumblr. I’m still debating. Anyway I like reading about another woman who is similar height and weight to me with similar goals. She also outlined her weight loss “rewards” I may get working on mine. I actually set up my tattoo appointment for May 7. I’m *hoping* by then to be down another 2 pounds and that would be put me at being down 20 pounds. HOLLER!
