Day 2 and 3 of Week 3

So as I type this blog, I'm sitting in the study, with sweat dripping down.  I apologize for not blogging separately about the two days, but life has been crazy, busy and crazy busy.  My Day 2 of Week 3 run, was suppose to occur on Friday.  But, I can assure you that was not the case.  Jon and I went car shopping on Friday night, so of course that entailed eating out, which allowed no time for running.  But, as to not disappoint my many many followers (yes, this is intended as a slice of comedy), I woke up early on Saturday in order to do my run.  Well, I woke up, and decided to get it out of the way.  I believe the temperature was like 34 or something horrible.  So, I decided to treadmill the run.  But, to spice it up a bit, I ran/walked at a 2% incline for the whole thing.  I enjoyed serenading my husband during this 30 minute time period.  He happened to be in the living room without the TV on, so he got to hear my lovely voice.  He felt the need to point out that I'd start out singing strong, and then decline to barely a whisper... Really? You think.  I'm not sure that common piece of knowledge needed to be shared but, OK.  I'm no Brittany Spears, I can't run around and get all fitness-ized and belt it out.  Oh wait, maybe Brittany couldn't do that either... Did she lip sing?  Anyway, the run was uneventful, and completed.

Today has been a pretty long day.  I had an IEP meeting at 8, therapy sessions all day long, and then another IEP at 4:15.  Needless to say, I did not get home until close to 6pm.  It may have been 6pm on the dot.  I threw on my clothes, and decided to hit the pavement outside.  I needed to see if I could actually do it outside, since every run this week had been inside, not to mention it's sunny and in the 80's today.  Ahh, NC spring, can you please make up your mind.  So while running outside in the scorching temps, I was able to breath in the fresh air that happens to be saturated with pollen.  I'm sure I'll regret  running outside a little later.  Before I headed out, I tried to hydrate on my way home, maybe drank 3/4 of a bottle of water.  I double knotted my tennis shoes as this has been an ongoing problem... Laces flopping.  Pulled my hair back in a pony, and I was ready to go.  Devan told me he'd go, but it was so hot, and he just came in from outside.  He even warned me to be careful in the temps.  :-) Just tell me you don't want to run!
I took a totally different route today and oh changing up the scenery is about the best thing ever!  I went down a less hilly street, around a pond, through some wooded area, and then repeat.  I was able to run the various times as instructed by lovely podcast.  I can even say I don't feel exhausted and that maybe, just maybe I could have gone a little further, or a little longer.  But, there is always time for that during week 4, so I did not push it.  I'm off to get food, stop at the store (I'm making a cake), pay bills, do more work, and then perhaps finish reading a book that must be done by Sunday.  Ahhhh, oh yeah and respond to two  emails.

Happy Monday blog followers!  I hope the rest of the week goes as smoothly with less work!!
