I've hit a snag this week. Hubby is working nights again so my evening runs are out. I managed another 3K on Sunday then I went for a short and easy run with a co-worker who is just starting out on Tuesday but that's about it.
I'm now doing overtime this week during my lunch hours at work so that time slot is filled. We're leaving for vacation which involves an 18 hour drive so my weekend is spoken for. I guess I'm going to have to wait until we reach our destination before I get out again. We're going to Prince Edward Island so I'm sure I'll find lots of beautiful places by the ocean to run.
I can do some cardio crap at home I suppose. I used to love those DVDs but now I find them tedious. I don't mind the Leslie Sansone videos. You can get a decent workout in an hour or so.

Woo hoo!
I haven't written much because there really hasn't been much to write about.
I had a little laugh the other night while I was out. I had my mp3 player blasting in my ears. I was bobbing my head and mouthing the lyrics. I've found that angry music helps the most while I run. I don't know why. I think I frightened this nice family of four though. I can't imagine what they thought when this lady in a pink t-shirt came loping by them, bobbing her head and wheezing the lyrics to South Texas Deathride by Union Underground.
I reached a milestone today. I was able to jog a full 3K without walking. Woot! I actually felt like a runner today. My legs felt great and I could just keep going. I think it makes a difference whether I run during the morning or evening. In the morning I've found that I can go much farther and my legs feels much better. In the evening it's always been a struggle. Maybe I'm just tired out from the day by the time 8 o'clock rolls around. Unfortunately, I don't get much chance for morning runs during the week so I'll just have to make do with what I can do.
It felt really good to keep going today. I'm now inspired to map a 5K route now and start chipping away at it.
