This update is going to be a quick one. I’m beat. The hubs has been home most of the week, so I worked out like a crazy person Sunday-Tuesday and then toned it down. We went to the zoo, we walked an outdoor mall, swam with the kids and I snuck in a power strollering class this morning. On the upside, I’ve discovered that I can run for 40 minutes straight, so I feel much better about actually completing the Color Run in TWO WEEKS without walking. I’m praying the temperatures get a little less gates-of-hell and a little more… reasonable. I swear, if another person wants to tell me that there is no way global warming is real, I will have to refer them to my throwing up in the woods today during the free run portion of class. Ugh. This heat.
Victory of the week: The realization that I can run 2 miles (and probably more) as long as I don’t let my body tell me at a quarter mile my legs won’t go any further. I was super excited about this and ran 6 miles in 3 days… more than I had last week total!
So how was your week? Did you manage to get any exercise in during the blistering heat wave this week? How did you stay hydrated?
Woot! Your awesome! I did nothing in this heat, nothing. You were off running and I was at the movie theater eating an entire box of Sweet Tarts.
Mmmm… sweet tarts! Tomorrow begins the birthday celebrations for Liam and all his little friends born in July so I know I have to keep up on the cardio, or I’ll be haunted by the goodies I’m sure to find in front of me. I’m going to call the Y and see if they would let me use their indoor track just so I can run on a track and not a treadmill to see if I can make it to 3 miles.
