Week 7 Ends

I haven't felt like posting. I've hit a wall. It's been really hard to care. I've had a few slip ups in the diet. Running on the treadmill is soooooooo boring. I have exercised every day. On my walk day I took the kids to the local river trail. I doubt it was very good cardio, but it was enjoyable for a change. Today I ran the trail. Madilyn followed me on her bike. I didn't get to actually run as much as I wanted to, because Madilyn kept stopping for water, or potty breaks. I know I did a mile and a half without stopping. We did about 3 miles total. I figure I ran 2 of them. I hope my joints (especially my hip) holds up. It's much more gratifying to see the physical distance you cross as opposed to ticking off numbers on the treadmill. On my way to the start of the trail I clocked it in the car. From my driveway to the parking lot at the Sports Park is exactly 3.2 miles. I would have thought it was much farther. I run that and more every day! I'm thinking of having Stuart meet me with the kids at the park on Saturday mornings and run there. When I envision myself running, its always outside. This treadmill thing is uninspiring. So, I'm not sure if I hit the time targets for today's run (it was suppose to be 26 minutes at a time), but it was so much more enjoyable, and sorely needed to inspire me to go on.
