day 3 of 30

So like I said yesterday, I went for a run/jog during Laura's soccer practice. Jogged for about 32 minutes or so.. about 3 miles. Not too bad. One thing I did noticed about me is that I'm still not quite there yet. It's like for some reason my heart's not super fit yet. I feel like I'm still struggling a bit. Maybe it could be that I'm trying to improve on my pace or something... but I can definitely feel the push every time I try to go faster. I don't know... just need more practice at this or something. Anyway, I'm just super proud of myself for sticking to it and actually jogging the whole 3 miles. Initially I had planned on jogging 3.8, but since I didn't run the actual course I had mapped out and instead improvised, it only worked out to about 3 miles. I guess that's okay.. considering during a good chunk of my run yesterday I kept battling with my head telling me to just slack off and walk... but this other voice inside said to keep going, which I did.. and finished the run (w/out walking). Anyway, we'll see how my Tuesday runs turn out to be as the soccer season progresses. I've made a decision that I will take Laura to every Tuesday practice and during those practice days I will run to kill the 80 minute practice time. Good luck to me, I guess. :)

Alright, so yesterday was day 2 of 30 for the 30 Day Shred. I did plan on doing the workout, but after my run, I decided that I was going to give it a rest. You see, Mark and I did that race on Sunday... and we both woke up Monday super sore! I was sore all day Monday but since I wanted to checkout the DVD, I did the workout instead anyway... instead of giving my body a break. Well, after the Monday workout, I woke up yesterday still sore... and after my run yesterday, it was just like... ahhh! Let's just take a break. Anyway, I'm much better today, so no excuses on not doing the workout tonight. I really want to do well, so I'm hoping I stick with it. I did pretty decent yesterday on my eating.. although, kind of bad in the fact that I didn't really eat a whole lot. Hopefully today won't be too bad, whether it's low or high. :)
