Lance and I were supposed to run a 5K this past weekend, but because he was on call (and I didn't feel ready) we decided to skip the race. He didn't want to be 15 minutes away from his truck and his pager go off! That would be terrible to go into an emergency case all sweaty and stinking! haha! Instead of running, we did a lot of eating! My sister, Lauren, and her husband, Eddie, were in town for the weekend. They came home to run some errands for the baby boy and to visit. All my mom did was cook delicious food all weekend and instead of exercising and trying to get in better shape, Lance and I just fell off the wagon and went back to our old habits of eating!
Today has already started out good! We ran this morning at 5:45 like usual and we bumped it up to running for 5 minutes, walking for 3, running for 5, walking for 3, and finishing it with another 5 minute run. I'm actually starting to feel like I'm getting better and lasting longer! I used to run all the time and just as I would get in shape and feel good, something would happen and I would stop and not pick it up again for another 4-5 months! I'm hoping that we can keep working out for at least 3 or 4 days a week even after our 5K run in October!
For the last few weeks, I've been doing ab workouts and rotating leg and arm workouts after we get back from our morning run. It feels so good to know that by 8:30 I've already worked out for the day and it's behind me! I just hope I can keep this up after I get a full time job!
