The day after my last post, my 3 yr old son got into an accident and was in the hospital and had surgery and all that jazz. That was totally draining emotionally, mentally, and physically. I got out of my routine and never got back into it.
The weather here has now gotten hot. So, this summer, my plan isn't to run much. I am going to stick with workout DVDs and losing weight and start running again in a few months. I have really noticed my lack of energy when I don't work out. I feel blah. I will get back in the habit on Monday. YAY!

Sickness
I haven't done any running last week or this week. Last Wednesday I was feeling HORRIBLE and that continued for a few days. I am still not feeling 100%, but better then the end of last week. I still can't breathe through my nose, so running is going to be a pain. We will see how I feel Wednesday.

Oops.
I haven't been writing on my blog. Life has been so busy.
Last Friday, I walked for about 10 minutes, ran for 3 1/2 min., walked for 2, ran for 4, and walked a lot after that.
On Monday, nothing happened. My running buddy was sick and I had a lot to do...so I just took a day off.
Today (Tuesday), I did A LOT of walking. So much that my feet hurt. I did a field trip with a school class, walked all around Costco, and later spent 2ish hours in Target with 6 kids...so I say...ya, I got my workout in today.
Today was VERY warm. My outside workouts won't last much longer. The hunt begins for a good in door workout video.

whoohoo
This morning I really didn't want to go run. It would have been so easy not to. But, I got going and did it.
For today's run I decided to try 4 minutes again. I did 4 min run, 3 min walk, 4 run, 3 walk, 4 run, 3 walk. When I was in the 2-3 minute mark I really wanted to stop. But I kept going and by the time 4 minutes rolled around, I could have kept going...but I thought my knee would hate me. Strange that there is an little barrier at 3 minutes. Maybe it is just where I feel comfortable, since I have been there for so long.
Today I noticed just how slow I am. I was thinking...I bet people walk faster than I run, haha. But for now, I think I will just focus on running and worry about speed later.
For Friday I think i will try what I did today again. My knee isn't bothering me at all. Yipee!

Yesterday
For yesterday's workout I did a regular week 3 workout. For some reason I was SOO tired. I could have fallen asleep on the grass at any point in time. I am wondering if my eating sugar does this to me. We had a birthday this last weekend, and we have birthday cake coming out our ears. My goal today...no sugar. We will see how tomorrows workout goes.
Yesterday's workout wasn't too hard. The first 3 minutes seemed just fine. Not hard at all, but by the time I got to the 2nd 3 minutes, that was a little challenging. When I was all done, I wasn't sore, didn't hurt, my knee was fine..but I could still fall asleep anywhere.

Another zoo workout
Instead of running on Friday (4-22-11), we went to the zoo. The last time we were at the zoo, it was quite the workout. This time around, we didn't do as much walking and it wasn't as hot, but we were still pooped. We were at the zoo for 6.5 hours. We took a tour of the zoo for a half hour and got to sit down a little bit here and there, but I was on my feet for the rest of the time. It was quite a workout.

Kicking my butt
Today kicked my butt!
No running buddy today...but I survived with listening to Ace of Base. :D
Since I don't think my knee would do too well with the week 4 workout (specifically running for 5 minutes), I just did something in between week 3 and 4. I started with walking for 7 minutes. I had then plan to run 3 minutes. The first minute I did great but when the 60 second mark came, my butt was kicked and I slowed down. By the time 3 minutes rolled around, I thought, I could do another 30 seconds and when that came around I decided to do 4 minutes. When I got to 4 minutes I was on a role and could have kept going. But I decided against it...because I don't think my knee would like me too much at 5 minutes. I then walked for 5 minutes and then ran for another 4 minutes. and walked for about 5 or so minutes.
It was a nice good workout! It kicked my butt, but not too much.
