Week 1, Days 4 and 5
Day 4 was a bit rough. I didn't get up and do my kettlebells like I was planning, but we did go to taekwondo, and took the dogs for a nice long walk as well. So I think I did okay anyway ( Read more... ) -
Week 1, Day 3
Well I did it. That's about all I can say about it so far, LOL! I'm a little sore but not too much (more from taekwondo than the running, I think); the biggest challenge has just been dragging my butt out of bed in the morning! But I've been going to bed earlier too, which seems to help. Once I get going it's fine, but the whole getting up when ( Read more... ) -
More ponderings.
After talking with one of the gals at tkd last night- who is a avid runner- she suggested that I look into a couple of local 5K races as a goal to my Ct5K program. There are plenty, but with my schedule I figured I'd be better off aiming for late July/early August, and I found two ( Read more... ) -
Day 2: quickie post
GrandMaster Jon ran us through some pretty intense "stretching" last night. Eek. I was a little stiff/sore after my run, but after those stretching exercises my legs were so wobbly I was barely making it through our practical movements ( Read more... ) -
So I'm going to try this again.
I re-started the Couch to 5K program this morning, and this time I am going to finish it. 8 weeks. I can do anything for 8 weeks. I can. I know I can ( Read more... ) -
Stupid freaking ARRRARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! *facesteeringwheel*
There is no place quite like the gas station at 7:30am on a Weds morning, let me tell you. And if you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the clusterf*** that is the South 6th Street SuperAmerica in Brainerd during that particular time frame, let me tell you- you're missing out. I realize that it *should* be busy. And it was. But the level ( Read more... ) -
Ponderings.
I actually had a really long and rambling post here, but decided I was being whiny, so I deleted it. Just... feeling depressed and lost. The reasons are probably obvious, so I'll just shut up and go away now. Melodramatic? Perhaps. But I can't help feel that if I post what I'm feeling right now, someone will just tell me to sit down and shut ( Read more... ) -
The soul has been sucked out of me.
I don't even know how I'm going to drag my ass out of bed to go to work tomorrow. I find it really hard to care when I've had to fight tooth and nail for raises, have had a grand total of one job review in 5 years, was informed a couple months ago that basically I was being outsourced within the next two years, and was informed today that my ( Read more... ) -
Just a couple of quick observations....
1. Bus ride and choir concert. As always, the bus ride was a blast. I love the people in choir with us- there's such a fantastic variety (it's so great when you stand literally arm's length from someone 20 yrs younger than you, and 30 yrs older), and there is always so much laughter and joy when we can just relax and have some social time outside ( Read more... ) -
More ponderings.
As yesterday wore on I got more and more depressed. I was really trying to take it in stride but it just wouldn't go away. I got home, laid down for a bit, then started supper. I couldn't even bring myself to go to taekwondo- just the thought of having to be around people at that moment was suffocating. I just didn't have the energy to put on ( Read more... )
