Week 2, day 2. By this point I'm figuring out how to breathe. I have always struggled with that. I always was the last one in in high school for any sport because I could never breathe. I dreaded running because of the constant huffing and puffing I would do. Even after months of having to do the running and workouts. I could never understand what the problem was. WELL DUH. I never learned to regulate my breathing. I think this is a huge deal for me. I finally feel like I can keep up with the skinny kids!
I finally have it down! Or so I think...This is the run that I figure my breathing out. I couldn't believe I could actually run for the entire length of the intervals! It's probably a good idea that I run alone too seeing as I sound like I'm about to have a baby with all inhale twice through the nose and exhale once through the mouth breathing I'm doing. It's not a pretty sight or sound people... lol! But this makes me feel like I'm stronger, and I can feel myself getting stronger too. I feel like I'm really making a change, and that my body is very happy with what I'm doing. My Pumas are still hanging in there, but my knees are not as happy as the rest of me. They still hate me and usually the day after I run I'm having issues. New shoes NEED to come soon. So does a money fairy with a forest of money trees.
I think I really am getting into a rythm at this point too. I never thought I'd want to stick with this, and I'm actually feeling like I can do this. Some days are obviously easier than others, but I'm trying to keep up with it. This summer has been so ridiculously hot, that it's been very hard to get out during a cool part of the day. Usually by week 3 of anything I've given up and decided I'll try again on another Monday. I have a lot of Monday's that i've "Started something and been done by Thursday." I think I've mentioned this before...anyways...there is something pushing me this time and I'm pretty sure it's the fact that my daughter is here for me to set an example for. She needs to grow up with the idea that we need to be outside if it's nice, and we need to take care of our bodies. I don't want her to be the couch potato I was, eating whatever whenever and getting to this point. It's amazing how much children really do change your life. I love my Marilyn more than anything, she really is the reason for all my changes.
On a more current note, I am very excited for Casey's bachelorette shenanigans this weekend!! I haven't been to Wisconsin Dells in probably 7 or 8 years and I'm really looking forward to some "Mommy time." Yes it will involve alcohol. and paddle boats. and shopping. and more alcohol.
Anyways...until I come up with more on my running (it will be soon) take a gander at the latest and greatest...
