Day 233 (day 2 / week 34)

Ooooooooohhh! I'm in trouble! My husband is so mad at me! Maybe not mad (well, maybe a little) but probably more disappointed and annoyed. I felt like I needed to go put myself in time out...lol

I went and did my thing this morning...got up early, set out around 6:30 and planned to walk for an hour. It turns out I really left at 6:40, got lost, and only walked for 4 miles. When I was about 1.5 miles away, I looked at my watch and saw that it was 7:30 and should be walking up to the house. I was easily 20 minutes away! I race walked faster than Hal ever could have dreamed to. I race walked so fast, that I ended up jogging...and stayed jogging. I jogged down the street, into the park, across the lawn, into a school (probably going to get in trouble for that too lol) said hi to some teacher, while jogging, through the bars separating the neighborhood from the school (that I had a very hard time fitting through when I moved here in April) and down my street toward the house. My HR got up to 170! I made it back on time to see him glaring at me from the driveway telling me he is going to be late. So busted! I did that 1.5 miles in 10 minutes though! Woo hoo, but *spank spank* for making my hubby late.

The best part of this, was that I found my grove...the grove where I was able to correlate my breathing with my running and my legs, ankles and feet didn't hurt. At all. The only pain I had was a cramping in my stomach from running too much--remember those cramps from childhood when you would run so much you would split your side? When you would stop running for a moment just to make the cramping stop, and start running again? That was me. Seven years old all over again, but in the body of an overweight 30-something year old lol. I love life.

It was really neat waking up, and remembering that I had already called today a great day for exercise. It stuck and I knew it from the moment I woke up. Over an hour of exercise done, before 8am. Sweet!

4 miles, 75 minutes, including cool down, burning 974 calories. It was a good day for exercise. I still have a ton of energy! Maybe tomorrow will be another :).

Make it count! You'll be surprised with what you can accomplish physically, when it isn't about that physical moment. Worrying about my hubby being late, threw all of my physical "can'ts" right out the window.

I can do this. I am a star.
