WiW: Week 21
Weight: 147.6
Waist: 30.5
Hips: 37.5
Thigh: 23.5
It's still hot. I got back up to 35 minutes last week, and told myself that I could ease off for a run if I felt like it, and then do my first 40 minute run since the vacation on Wednesday. I went ahead and did a short run on Monday (with my best pace since I recalibrated!), since I didn't get back from a PTA meeting until 10pm, and figured I'd be all rested and refreshed to do the full 40 Wednesday (today).
Two problems.
One, we aren't going to be home tonight, since we're taking the kids to Great Wolf Lodge for a last hurrah.
Two, I solved problem one by running this morning. But I was dragging. I mean DRAGGING. By the time I got to 20 minutes, I was starting to wheeze and my legs were numb like I was finishing a marathon. Or at least, a much longer run, since I don't know what a marathon feels like. I went ahead and cut short, which was a shame because now I'm going to feel guilty about it, and because it was nice and overcast and who knows when that will happen again. And naturally, the temperature has dropped since I got home, and it's even rained a little.
The plan is to do that 40 minute run on Friday. My plan is also to have a great time with my kids, and enjoy our last days of freedom.
I'm determined to achieve both.
