New Distances

This weeks exercises have taken me farther than ever before (mentally and physically). Monday's run was 2 miles, Tuesday's run was 4 miles, Wednesday's run was 3 miles, and Today's run was 4 miles. Each day was long and hard to get through. Once I made 4 miles the first time I felt guilty when I did less than 3 miles. My body is slowly adjusting and once I can walk 4 miles daily I want to try jogging them. I would really enjoy doing the color run. I know I could easily go and walk the whole thing but I've got a little bit of a competitive side. I don't for a second think that I will win but it would be nice not to be in last place.

This mornings run made me feel like I was going to be murdered. You know those beautiful scenes with inspirational quotes like:


That was nothing like the setting for my jog at 6 am this morning. It felt like someone was going to run out of the woods and rape us. So a little more like:


Needless to say I brought that scene upon myself by sending 15 texts to Chelsea so she would get up. Without those texts I could have easily laid in bed and skipped my jog for today. When I got home (safe, luckily) I did this arms workout by Cameron Diaz's trainer and my arms were trembling by the end. I have no arm muscles so this routine may be easier for people who have done more arm exercises recently.

Now we continue to new developments. I have challenged my dear friend to a workout challenge. I am going to try a workout video and send a video of me doing the workout to her. She then has to decide if she wants to do it or wimp out. lol. Maybe I will wrangle Chels into this and we can post the video on here! 

Alright, tonight I am headed out to see Argo and Looper. I hear they are both very good and I can't wait to see them. I will let you know tomorrow how they turned out and decide whether I feel comfortable being videotaped for the world to see. Have a glorious day!
