Day 1 - Week 1

I knew I was out of shape, but not as bad as I proved myself to be yesterday.

I started out with the walking portion as it says to for the first 5 minutes. A "brisk" walk as it was called. I kept thinking this isn't bad, I am doing okay. Now it was on to the first "2 minute" run, the "trainer" kept telling me to keep it at a pace that when the next walk came that I would be able to catch my breathing and feel ready to run after the 3 minutes. I was ready to be done, but I didn't I pushed my way through, made it through my next 3 minutes and was on to the 2nd "2 minute" run. I once again pushed through this, but if I am being honest with myself I was already hurtin'. Seriously?

I kept pushing, but I didn't make it through my 3rd run or the 4th and final run. I "briskly" walked the rest of the time.

Are you kidding me? I couldn't even make it through 29 minutes of training. How on earth am I going to be able to ever go 30 minutes jogging/running without walking or resting?

So from any runners out there....any advice?

Here I gooooooooooooo

Today starts my eight week training for a 5k that doesn't exist! I need to do something to jump start me again, and I found this great podcast that does an eight week training.

I, when brave enough will post weight, endurance and everything else I hope to gain or lose in this process.

Wish me luck.

I have a personal ad?

I am totally posting this for me, to remind me I have some of the best friends in the world, ones that love me for me, make me laugh, and are always looking out for me.

 
 

A little background, I met 2 of my glirlies for lunch, and I was just having one of those moments that we all have, we'll just call it a little pity party. I have just decided I don't like being single, I am happier not having to deal with things that I dealt with, but I so want someone to share my life with. Anyway after going on, after lunch one of my best girlie's posted a small personal ad for me on her blog without my knowledge. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it. You are a nut M2, but I love ya.

Say AHHHHH…

Jayci had her first dentist appointment yesterday. To be honest she did much better than I thought she would. There was no screaming, crying, thrashing around, just a little "You want me to open my mouth? I don't think so."

I have to say that I have the best dentist around. He was actually my dentist growing up. He truly is the best. If anyone needs a good pediatric dentist Dr Chester Smyth is your man.

Here are a few pics…I even threw a few in there for Danaka so she didn't feel like Jayci is "my only sunshine" inside joke that will share at another time.
