I can't believe it but my time was 33 seconds slower then in the burning heat I endured for the Zoo Run! 34:55. Why? I directly attribute that time to my workout for the week
Monday: Spinning and 1 1/2 mile jog
Tuesday: 6 mile walk/Jog and Lifting
Wednesday: 45 minutes elitical going from resistance 8-12 in 10 minute segments
Thursday: SUCCESSFUL 5 miles in 88% humidity and Lifting
Friday: 1 Hour Spinning class/ and Power Hour which had us doing light jogging then pairing up to sprint and then assorted other boot camp tortures (including many many squats and many many lunges)
Saturday: 5k
I was so MAD at myself! My first mile time was pretty good 11:02 at 1 mile, 22:03 at 2nd mile and from there I slowed down and walked/jogged/sprinted....However when I came in the chute I came in ON FIRE! I could not even slow down!
I was talking to my son and he said I should have not done so many miles on Thursday and should have rested on Friday. I think at the very least I should have just done the spinning class and then went home. When I got up Saturday morning my legs were sore (not a bad sore just a "boy I really used my legs sore" the "take an aspirin and get up and move around sore". ) The next 5k is scheduled for August 5, that week I will do my long run on Tuesday, Wednesday do swimming and Thursday do just 2-3 miles and then Friday just do ONE class...probably spinning. Then hopefully I will have a better time on the 5k. Just my luck I will probably have a great get ready week and then it will be like 100 degrees the day of the race. I know that sounds like alot of excuses for my not improving my time but I really feel that is the case and not just that I did not push hard. BONUS: I found another lady about my age, my size and my speed and got her name and number and hope to hook up with her to do some training! I have been looking for someone along time and I hope this pans out!
Grandchildren: I stopped by to say hey to my dear sweet children today. We drove by my son's house because we were on our way to a garage sale and what should we see but the most adorable baby in her saucer looking out the window. My daughter says, "Mom that was Carissa in the window we gotta stop" So I put the car in reverse and popped into say hello! My daughter in law is looking FABULOUS. She has lost all her baby weight and then some. I don't know how she did it so fast! Tyson was all geared up because his Grandma Debbie was picking him up to take him to a festival. He came out to see me and gave me a big hug! He is such a good boy and I love him dearly. Today I bought him a little suprise, nothing big, just a little something I think a boy would like. I HAVE to make time soon to keep him overnight!!!! Baby Carissa was a happy smiling baby and she reached out with BOTH arms to me and stretched toward me so I would pick her up! She claps and can sorta of wave Bye Bye. Her mother was holding her and she nestles her face into her mother's shoulder and it looks so sweet it makes you want to cry! Oh and soon soon Baby Adam will be here! I can't wait to see my baby grandson!
Okay I am off to the bowling alley. I am not sure I will bowl as my body is quite sore but maybe I will just go up and hang out with some family.
