So, Thursday was a fantastic day for me health-wise. I decided that getting back on the horse with this walking/running thing was the best thing to do! I was going to start the next day. Then Friday rolled around and I felt horrible. I still don't know what the problem was, but I hurt all over. So, I only managed to work half a day. I took it easy Saturday in an attempt to see if I was better.
Today, I FINALLY was once again able to have my precious 2 hours at home alone! My very precious "watching my TV shows while on the treadmill" time. You know what I mean? And I just couldn't pass it up.
I may very well regret this soon. It's even to the point where I'm not going to post it on Facebook or my other sites because tomorrow when I'm doubled over, I don't want anyone saying "I TOLD you so!"
But, I got in a VERY slow 4.65 miles trying to catch up on Glee. *laugh* I got two episodes in and I seem no worse for wear. I'm fairly paranoid about it though, so tomorrow will tell.
I was glad to get a few miles in though. And I think it's hilarious that the idea of simply doing one or two miles just isn't something I can wrap my mind around. A 5K is the absolute lowest I can consider doing, then after that initial 3.1 I always want to keep going just a little more.
That is fantastic mentally....physically maybe not so much. I suppose I need to work on that!
You're doing great! Just don't push too much....
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on find a good route to walk at lunch. My schedule was changed and I can fit in an hour walk now, if I work it right...just need to find a place besides the HS track to walk!
That's got to be tough. I do have days where I worry about getting out and traipsing around town. Well, only the part I go through at the beginning and the end. The middle part is a great place to walk. *laugh* I've considered driving half a mile, parking at a church, walking, then driving back...but I just think that's silly. I may do it though!
