Swimming

I made it to six laps!! Not consecutively, I still rested a bit in between laps and all, but I still did it! And I got cramps in my legs and right between my shoulder blades. Anyone know how to prevent that? Or fix it after it happens?

Thursday Running/Walking 55 minutes

Plus, 3 hours heavy duty gardening. And now, I am WIPED OUT!

Running Report- I ran 2 1/2 miles (with some flats and some BIG hills), then I walked 1 mile. I ran 35 minutes for an average of a 14 minute mile. So, I was slow, but I still stuck it out and ran longer than I have in awhile.

Still Slugish

I walked 1.5 miles last night just for the heck of it.

Today I ran 2.5 miles pushing J & C in the buggy. Once again I tired out way sooner than I normally would. I walked back home and put Clayton in his crib (he was asleep, also another reason I decided to quit early) and I headed to the basement where I forced myself to do 20 minutes on the trainer 17.1 mph. All in all not a bad workout. I just wish I knew what was up with me. It might be all in my head, I don't know. If I didn't know better, I'd wonder if I was pregnant. That should be nearly impossible, so I'm probably just in a slump. I'll get out of it eventually.

Wednesday Strength 30 minutes

Plus 1 hour weeding and 30 minutes chasing and tickling the kids.

More of the Same

I did twenty minutes on the bike today at 12-12.5 mph for a total of 4 miles covered. That is slightly better than last time! Tomorrow, I'm hoping to do some lappage at the pool, for a change of pace. If that's not possible, I will probably DANCE baby DANCE!!

Another Bad Workout

I went downstairs to run the trainer. The last time I rode the trainer, I did 40 minutes nonstop and averaged 18.1 mph. Today I averaged 17.2 mph. I rode 35 minutes and I stopped several times. Maybe Timpani's right about Saturday. I don't know, but I'm not having a good week. Oh well, it happens. I'll be better next week probably.

Tuesday was Pathetic, but Slightly Better than Nothing, I Guess

I sort of went for a run last night. I don't know exactly what my deal was; it wasn't particularly hot; I did have a slight slight queasy stomach from eating too recently; I just wasn't in the mood? I don't know. I've overcome many worse obstacles than that many a time, but last night, I just wasn't into it. I quit running after just 3.25 miles. I walked 1.5 after that.

I totally don't want to, but I'm heading downstairs to ride the stupid trainer. I've got to snap out of this total lack of wanting to workout.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I spent 3+ hours in the garden yesterday weeding. Who knows.
