First win of the day - getting out of bed! Last night I had this insanely vivid dream that I was battling off a zombie hoard in a mall and I ALMOST used it as an excuse not to get out of bed this morning. Just an FYI -apparently wooden bats don't work, they tend to splinter. Anyway, between Leroy snoring like my grandma and the zombies when I woke up at 5 this morning I came thisclose to just rolling over and going back to sleep.
Second win of the day - getting on the treadmill! I haven't done much running since the 5k at the end of October -- my body spent 3 days after that telling me I was too old for that shit -- so I decided it was imperative I get up and do something. I tried to do 2 minute intervals walking/running but my left knee started getting a sharp pain in it and so I decided to back off a little. Even though it's insanely pathetic, here's what I managed today:
4 mins running 6mph
16 mins walking 4 mph
1.3 miles
160 calories burned
I am looking for a new 5k to run, and I think that I've got a line on one in December. It's the Raleigh Jingle Bell run (link below), but I can't sign up for it yet. Parrish is going to have hernia surgery sometime that month so I need to make sure that it doesn't coincide with that. I'll know more when he goes to the surgeon in a couple of weeks. I would like to run a 5k almost every month now - I want to get my time down!
