A Good Week

I just realized the last time I blogged was about 6 pack abs... Of course, I do not have a 6 pack. However, I only stuck it out for three weeks... Who knows, maybe if I'd finished up the last week, I'd have a perfect 6 pack? I somehow doubt it. I was actually thinking of taking a picture of my stomach next to the cute little 6 pack calendar to submit to the Pinterest Fail blog...

I finally had a good running week. I ran 2 miles on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I did a 5 mile hike at the dunes yesterday, so I felt good about that, too. For the first few days, 2 miles was a struggle. I was frustrated and embarrassed about this, but I knew my body would tell me when I was ready for more. On Friday's run, I had enough energy left to run as fast as I could for the last .25 mile. And today, when I hit 2 miles, I felt like I was just getting into my groove and added an extra half mile. So this week I'll up it to 3 miles each day. It's hard because I'm really struggling with motivation. Still. I'm just kind of bored.

It definitely helps that the weather is perfect for running. I love seeing people out on their bikes and the playground filled with kids. Only problem is that I can't yell out, "But a bitch ain't one!" with all these people around.

Final thought: is it bad that I felt good about myself for passing up a man in a motorized wheelchair today? To be fair, he was going pretty fast...
