One last goal

So, I have been a slacker this week. Being nervous for surgery has gotten the best of me. I have decided I needed another goal, even if it is just for one week! I refuse to slide back into old habits, and the past couple days I saw signs of my old self.

My goal is to run at least 16 miles before surgery, one week from today. In other words, I need to stay on track this week...LOL!

That said, Andy is home sick from school AGAIN. Gotta love diarrhea. My friend and I were joking last night that a week isn't complete without one of my boys being home sick from school. Spoke to soon!!! I think this last month, there has been at least one day each week where one of them has been home sick. Fun stuff.

So, my morning 4 miles were scrapped. I will get them in after my husband is home from work tonight.

Tomorrow, I get a pedicure. Gotta look good for the surgery...LOL!

Got my miles in! I was pissed off because my husband was home an hour later than he said he would be...without calling! I had stretched out, timed my snack, and had everything ready to go, so when he was late it really bothered me. I'm so nice. LOL. I got to the gym, and did 5 miles in 58 minutes even!!!!! That is a 11:36min/mile pace. The first .25 miles of that was my walking warm-up! I totalled out at 5.25 miles in 62:12. :) The longest stint without walking was 3.11 miles and I did that in about 34:00 (although I thought I had done it faster!)

Day 59 - 5.25 miles, 62:12

Um NEVER lol. Hope everyone get's better soon. Heal up fast. But don't rush yourself afterwards so you stay healthy.

Go Jen! You can run that 16 miles before your surgery. I also want to let you know that you'll be in my prayers as you go to your surgery!
