So nothing has happened yet on Day 5.
Ok, so I guess I have been to work, which involves walking across the bridge to get to, so that's something. And at lunch Jonnie and I walked to Market Square to check out the farmer's market. I think if I'm going to want to buy anything good at the farmer's markets downtown I'm going to have to take lunch earlier than 1 o'clock! Well, I bought sweet potato gnocchi which I'm pretty excited about, I do like it so. Unfortunately being in Market Square also meant I was in close proximity to yummy (read - fattening) restaurants, and we went to Moe's for burritos for lunch. At least I only at 1/2 of mine, which leaves 1/2 for dinner tonight, which means the chicken I have defrosting will have to be for tomorrow - oh well.
And I may or may not have bought a piece of baklava. Which I may or may not eat in about 1 minute. Don't hate me, I love sweets!
As for training - Alyssa and I are going to the track tonight. 1 minute running, 4 minutes walking, repeated 5 times, hopefully it won't be too bad. My goal for tonight is to stretch better than last time, so hopefully I won't hurt as bad.
Speaking of hurting, around 4 pm yesterday, I discovered that I really should stretch my groin - OUCH! Who knew? I never assumed running for only 4 minutes total could hurt so much. What the heck have I gotten myself into?!? 21 weeks and 2 days until race day.
I'm almost done with The NonRunner's Marathon Guide for Women - Get Off Your Butt and on With Your Training, and Alyssa and I have already dubbed it our running bible. Dawn Dais is hilarious! I have busted out laughing so many times while reading it, I feel that her sarcasm will help us survive this thing.
Wish me luck tonight!
Good luck! It'll start getting easier and then you'll be like, why was I such a wimp before?
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better there's three months before Kaida's born and then she'll be 2 months old before your race. That's AGES! Plenty of time.
