Running in Beauty

kinda slacking

Heebus Geebus!
Boy am I sore. These are times that I like to tell people that I'm a "hellasaurus". Nope, I'm not a Homo sapien or whatever, I'm a hellasaurus. As in--hella sore? Get it?

Anyhow, I forgot to note a couple of things.
What use is a running blog unless I actually type in it?

Wednesday 9/21
I dragged myself outta bed in the morning to run 2 miles. I noted in my personal blog that morning runs are hella more difficult than evening jogs are. All that unnecessary huffing and puffing! The hot Phoenix sun beating down on me. My "glow" dripping all over the streets of Tempe. Ugh.

Later that evening, I was able to force myself to jog and jog until I could no longer jog anymore. The result? 3.7 miles.
Not bad, not bad at all but I think I need to stop pushing myself so hard as this is only my second week of running and previous to this, I hadn't run consistently for more than a couple of months. Still, I must say that I am terribly proud of my persistence and commitment thus far. The 1/2 marathon doesn't seem all that menacing anymore.

So in totality, I ran 5.7 miles.
Rock on tall chica!

Saturday 9/17
It was a lazy day.
I was only able to do 25 minutes on the elliptical machine. I walked around for three hours at the mall with the fiance'. Whew!

Then to top it off, we jogged together along our usual route. I was able to jog at least 2.3 miles before I decided to call it quits for the day and proceeded to walk the rest of the route with fiance'.

------------------
Tonight I am supposed to get on the elliptical machine for at least 30 minutes. I am so sore from so much jogging yesterday that I don't know if I will go to the gym. I ought to--just to ease this soreness.

Tomorrow is my day off. Yippee!

This coming Saturday is the big run. I will attempt to run 5 miles straight. This will be a big feat for me. So wish me strength! This FAT GIRL is going to need it!
