Good day

Today was a good run.  I did 2.5 miles and I ran 1 mile of it.  My knee is killing me but I felt so great afterwards!!!  Tomorrow will be a semi-rest day, I have to mow the lawn but I won't run.

Frustrated

The kiddo and I ran half a mile and then walked another half.  Wish I could have done more, but kiddo wanted to come home.  It helped to relieve some of my frustration, but I need to go out longer, with just me and my ipod.  I don't even feel tired.  I want to go run and walk until I'm tired.  I was up until 3am beating myself up over failing that stupid class.  I want to run until I can just come home and fall into bed.  I guess I need to go fix lunch for my little one.  Need to keep busy.  Not in a good mood today.

Apparently, running 2 days in a row is a bad thing for me.  My brain and my body aren't communicating very well.  My brain says "Yes, you can run multiple days in a row.  It will be great!  10 lbs you're going down!"  But my knee says "Think again".  Wednesday I ended up having to wear the brace, which is very uncomfortable but it did feel better after putting it on.  Yesterday I was going to go after mom got home, but other things intervened.  Tonight we all did a mile.  Little one refused to run but we got a little bit of a jog in there.  Tomorrow we will be going for a run while Mom does her long run.  Looking forward to it.  I want to get this weight off and look great in my outfit and I want to be in great shape for my trip next summer.

It's hot out there...

And summer hasn't even started.  It should not be so hot at 9 or 10 in the morning.  But my baby and I got our there and did our fun run.  Thinking we will have to go earlier in the morning on Thursday, she was complaining about the heat too, so we took it slow and enjoyed whatever slight breeze we could get.  My knee was pretty stiff from yesterday fabulous workout so it really helped to loosen it up too.  We both feel better after taking a shower. 

Great run today!!!  I did 2.25 miles total and I ran half of it!!!  Okay okay, a little clarification... I run on a 3/4 mile track, I ran half of each lap, but that is still farther than I have been running each lap.  Feeling wonderful!  Definitely helped to relieve some of this stress from finals, tomorrow is a fun run with my baby.

Great Weekend!!!!

My baby and I had a great walk/run this weekend.  She has so much energy.  She probably would have run the entire thing if I would have let her, but I don't think she is quite ready to run an entire mile and a half yet.  Maybe in a couple of years.  I got flowers from her for Mother's day and a big hug and kiss.  Best gift ever!  Tomorrow finals begin, so I'm looking forward to running this week.  I need to release some of this stress.  Plan to get to school early tomorrow to do more reviewing and finish some notes.  Almost done with them but the hand was cramping.

Found out that I do actually have some fashion sense.  Bought my outfit to where at my grandparent's 50th Anniversary party.  Now I just need to drop 10 lbs this month so that it will look great on me.

Not the same type of running...

Today is typically not a running day because I'm in class all day long, and I wasn't able to run yesterday.  So today I ended up running errands for the office and helping to set up for the awards ceremony.  My knee aches and I ran whenever I could.  I know it isn't the same but at least it was something.  Next week is finals, good reason to go for a run.  I'll use the run to de-stress and clear my head.
