I didn't go to the gym for 4 days and was worried about
myself. I was feeling to down to go. Yesterday I talked to a neighbor which was encouraging. Then later got the mail and there was a post card for a nature club we belong to. They are hosting a trail run in April. I LOVE running on trails. I feel free and light. And out of shape, lol. Problem is this is a 10K (6.2 miles) run and hilly. My fiance thinks I can't do it! Now I want to, to prove him wrong! Usually at the gym I stop after 1 mile, because it's "good enough". Yesterday I tried to see what I could do. I run/walked 4.1 miles in 1 hr. The treadmills turn off after that, lol. That was with 0 incline. I am proud of myself but realize I have a long ways to go. Honest, I don't know if it's possible for me to complete the trail run (at any speed). But FOR ONCE I want to be able to do something my fiance thinks I can't do.
This morning I couldn't sleep. I sleep less when I work out at night. So I got up and stretched. My fiance asks "Are you Ok?" I said, " Yeah, I'm not even sore, just a little stiff." (I am never flexible) He says, "Then you must not be working hard enough!" lol
In other news, I gained 5 pounds. No, it's NOT muscle. :) I look very ROUND in my gym clothes!
