every week I joke with paco, "today I'm going to run 4 miles" because he knows that just to stand up and get off the couch is a workout for me lately. ugh.
But today I ventured out to see if I could beat my record of 1 mile from last Saturday. I started with a .5 mile walk to warm up my poor little body that's been crippled on a couch for 3 weeks. Thought I'd ease her into it. Then I made it two miles. Whew. I was feeling pretty good. Then, the .5 cool down lap...ironically it was the hardest lap. I was wasted. I had absolutely no energy anymore. It didn't help that around 1.5 miles a commercial came on to the radio station i was listening to and was about food...it was enough to make me puke right there on the sidewalk. really? just a commercial and I was ready to yak. I'm amazed at what our brain has the capability to do. Scary, actually.
Anyway, we have our stake 5k coming up in 2 weekends. I'm committed to running it. Oh I hope these next two weeks bring better days and less couch time :)
