First of all, I must confess that I was bad last night and broke down and bought a pack of cigs...so my no smoking streak ended at 7 days. However, I only had 2, didn't inhale, and haven't had any today. I think just being alone and bored on a Friday night is just a little too much pressure for me to handle right now. I know I need to be super hardcore and 100% quit for good, but part of me finds that proposition really depressing and honestly I just don't want to! I am really hoping that I can just commit to being a "social" smoker and only having the occasional smoke on the weekend when I am having a glass of wine or whatnot. We will see. If not, I will probably go to the doctor and see about a prescription for Chantix.
Anyways, yesterday I did my 1 hour CT walk. Nothing too terribly exciting to report there, I was pretty tired so I was not super enthused to do my walk, but I did complete it nonetheless...
Today's run was my first attempt at 3.5 miles. I did my usual walking of the dogs and then decided to do my run at the park for a change of scenery. It was a pretty nice day weather-wise, albeit a little warm and humid. So the run itself was great, but man, the whole east side of the park must be built into a flood plain. There was part of the trail that was still so underwater that I probably could have swam across. So the first two miles of my run was spent trying to navigate the trail without running into any water. I went across Stone Oak for the last 1.5 miles and there must have been some pretty serious flood waters there too. I could see where the water had run over all of the tall grass and how high the water had been at one point. The trail was at least all dried up, so no having to turn around on that side. Overall, I felt great on my run. My body still hurts somewhat, but I really didnt feel really, really taxed at any point during my run, which is awesome, especially in the SA heat and humidity.
Tomorrow is my normal Sunday and 3.5 mile run/walk. I am looking forward to it and to getting my new NF shoes on Monday. This will be my last week of training before I have to try and juggle my running and riding...hopefully doing both will help me start moving the scale.
