Today was Better

Sunday's run was okay...especially since I had walked/run a 5k on Saturday. I did 6.5 miles. The first 3.31 miles had one walk break and that was when I got to the steep part of Main Street. Once I was up the steep part I resumed running for a total of 3.31 miles where I stopped at my son's house to get a drink from his hose. I then walked/run the next 2 miles and then steady run the final leg of the 6.5. Not bad Kimmie not bad. Today I got up and did Spinning which I ALWAYS have fun at. This particular instructor loves music from the 70's and 80's and I would take her class just cause the music. However, bonus for Kim that she is a kick butt instructor! I only did 45 minutes of spinning because I wanted to get to Power Hour on time for once...I feel bad because I hate to miss spinning but I hate to miss Power Hour....So off I went. Julie (another totally great instructor) asked if we wanted to work on strength or endurance. I told her I didn't think I had the endurance to do an endurane class but since my body had betrayed me on Saturday then I would pick endurance. Next time my body may think twice before it bales on me!. So off we went for a 2 mile run. Katherine (my 5k sidekick) starts out much faster then I do but this morning I thought there is no way I am eating Katherine's dust so I kept up! It was hard but once I caught my breath I was good and you know what? Despite my weekend 9 1/2 miles and my spinning prior to power hour I actually felt really good. We had to stop once for her to adjust her shoes and then we walked up a small portion of the hill...but you know now that I look back I think I could have run it...it was just a mental hill for me! We resumed running and I did not stop till we were at the Y doors. Tomorrow on my schedule are sprints..probably on the treadmill. 1/4 mile sprints for 3 miles and lifting. Wednesday is swimming, Thursday Tempo Run for 3 miles, Friday Spinning and Power Hour and then Saturday 6.5 mile and spinning, Sunday will be my day of rest.

Weight: I was down 4 pounds as of Friday. I will not weigh myself for another 2 weeks. I tend to get kinda compulsive about the scales so I am keeping it to a every other week weigh in. 21 pounds to go to make my Mini weight. I think that lugging alot of Kim around on a run is very tiring! Oh just in case anyone may think the weightloss is a "Looks" issue. It most assuredly is NOT. I just wanna be faster. I am really quite happy with the way I look and my husbands says he is as well. But I can't help but think how he would love a woman that he could scoop up in his arms...however, he has got a woman that can scoop him up in her arms......I GOTTA SAY I LOVE BEING A STRONG WOMAN. I just wanna be a STRONG FASTER WOMAN.

Phrase of the Day: "My Grandma says you are thinner then I am" God Bless Doris for saying that!!!! (It's not true but I LOVE IT). I think I am just being used as a pawn in their evil mind games with each other...ahahahahahah
