Week 2

The week started with new shoes, I was sticking to the plan, but the weather was nice, and my boys were having fun riding bikes so I thought "why not?" So we went on a couple little bike rides during the week, but enter my complex of being a fatty on a bike in public and I wanted to try to keep it off the main street. My little one pedals as fast as he can and we just try to keep pace with him coasting and looping to stay with him. Heck on Monday I even walked an extra 15 minutes at the gym and made it a 2 mile walk. I guess it's finally happening they say when you work out you get more energy, I never knew who "they" were but always suspected they were crazy cause I'm always tired after working out...and well I still am but I'm more likely to play no on my down time. 

Wed is the end of my week and so it is the day I walk miles not minutes. from the moment I woke up all I could think was uggg 3.5, 3.5, 3.5. I posted on face book that I wasn't looking forward to it, but I'll tackle it like eating an elephant, one bite at a time. I told my coworker about how the first week I thought about telling him I stopped at 60 minutes not at 3 miles and that pushed my to finish, so this week he asked if I was going for my walk and I told him the truth, yes but I wasn't looking forward to it...so I got off work and again called Mike and asked him to meet me at the gym, and together we did what needed to be done, again he left early to get the kid, after he did his 3.5.  and in 77 minutes I got my 3.5 done, then I cooled down to make it and even 80, and stretched. Might I tell any of you who don't already know how awesome my hubby is, I forgot my head phones in the car already locked my key in the locker and just in general wanted to get this show on the road, but was annoyed because I normally listen to my book on tape during and only during my walks. Mike saw and offered me his head phones, I declined, I knew it would only take him 45 minutes to do his walk where I would take 75+ minutes and I knew I could fb and keep myself entertained for 30.  and about 30 minutes he handed them over, seeing me get discouraged I think, and with that I watched SNL with Justin Timberlake and started slowly to forget about the pain in my legs the last 15 minutes my legs felt normal/numb I stretched after my cool down and having learned the hard way after week one when I wanted to cry on my drive home.  I iced at home and my little man gave my legs a good roll.

3.5 in 77 minutes and to think last week 3 miles took me 75 minutes
