LSD 7.9 miles, Goals for June.

Went alone today. GB was sleeping in( she keeps telling me not to write that because she actually is awake at that time- so whats preventing her from joining me??- lost the running shoes??). DH wanted to give his leg a rest- he apparentally strained a muscle while working on the elliptical.

Woke up at 4.45 AM, first thought was-lets not go today, next one was- if I dont go today then it will have to be tomorrow, so lets get it done and over with today. I am all for delayed gratification. Tomorrow I will sleep in , read in bed, drink tea in bed, just laze around.

Started at 5.33 AM, as usual the first 2-3 miles are really difficult. This is one thing I really need to understand- whether I do 2 miles or 5 or 10 miles, why are the first 2 so difficult. Its as if my body refuses to move. As if theres a big rubberband pulling me backwards. I have already done 2 miles a hundred thousand time in my life- why is it so difficult.

I was OK after the first 3 miles. R3min/W2min, approx but average speed is still 4mph. I have to build it to 4.3mph till the marathon. Its been 7 months since we started doing this and the speed is not increasing. We still have another 4 months yet, lets see. Weather was beautiful, slightly windy, cool, no sun till 7.33 am when I finished.

May done. We finished a half-M and that is good. I have become slightly more regular with the weights and the running sessions but need to incorporate yoga regularly. No change in weight so far- do not anticipate any. Given up on that end-for now.

Goals for June 2008:
1. 20/30 R/W sessions
2. 5-6 elliptical sessions.
3. 8 weight sessions
4. 8 yoga sessions.
5. Stretching after each workout- I have been missing those and I feel it.
Maybe try Pilates?
