So yesterday I posted about doing my 3 miles on the treadmill and that today I was going to do my 1.5 mile race pace instead of on Thursday. Well, last night we had about the worst thunderstorms I have ever witnessed so of course both Rocco and Skynyrd were freaking out all night and I got about zero sleep. To make matters worse, my alarm must have been turned off by Rocco knocking my clock off of the night stand 2 times because I totally didnt wake up until 6:47 (6:25 is my usual time). I managed to get dressed (sans makeup), throw my flat iron in a bag, eat some cereal and make it out of the house by 7:05, so not bad. I was still late though, due to having to take 281. Oh well.
Anyways, the point of this story is that although I had zero energy, I was looking forward to today's run outside before I had to cook dinner. The plan was to go right when I got home so I could cook dinner afterwards. Well, literally right as I pulled onto Salano, it started *pouring*. Again. And lightning and thundering as well. Soo...there went all hopes of an outside run unless I wanted to get struck by lightning. Back on the treadmill it was! I did my 1.5 miles at 5.0 mph (and 5.2 -5.4 for the last 1/2 mile). Felt pretty good aside from being bored on the treadmill 2 days in a row. Also, the treadmill seems to aggrevate my right calf for some reason. Probably because it is not a natural surface. In addition to the 1.5 mile run, I walked 2 miles for a total of 52 minutes and 3.5 miles. I should have probably done more as I am having one frumpy week. I think having Trudy's on Monday was not a good start...hopefully I can do better with my eating this weekend. That one or two huge meals a week are probably the biggest obstacles from me being able to shed any pounds..but they are just so dang good! Also, day 6 without a cigarette today - haven't accomplished that since I was probably 19 years old, so it is pretty amazing!!
