Not According to Plan

I really hate when things don't go according to plan.  I am still dealing with some major stomach issues and nausea.  The past two days total, I think I have eaten 2 yogurts, a few graham crackers, and a little bit of applesauce.  I have no appetite and today I didn't even have the strength to exercise.

It seems like for the past couple of months everytime I set a goal for myself...or have a race to train for...I get side tracked by illness.  So, day three and nothing to record.  I am really hoping that when my alarm goes off tomorrow morning, that I feel back to myself again.

Day #3 - A big, fat 0

Day Number Two

I went to bed last night with the worst headache...the kind that make you feel like you are going to throw up at any minute.  When my alarm went off this morning, I was still not feeling too hot.  I am determined to stick to my goal though.  So, I got on my spinning bike after dropping the kids off at school and rode for forty minutes.  I am still not feeling the greatest, but hopefully I will be back and running tomorrow morning.


Total for today - Spinning bike: 40 minutes

Dia Numero Uno

This weather has taken a toll on my running.  This cold makes me want to make a bee line for my bed, pull the covers over my head, and stay there until the next 60 degree day.  It's made rolling out of bed for my 4AM workout difficult, which is probably why I have been averaging around 12 miles a week...sad, sad.

Yesterday, after sleeping through my morning alarm, I set a goal for myself and hope to make it out of my bed for my morning workout and get my mileage back up there.  Today I did.  One day down, six more to go.  I need to get my butt in gear and make it through this winter still in decent shape.

Today, I did 3 miles on the elliptical.  They felt good and I averaged 7:15/mile.  Then I jumped on the treadmill for 2 miles.  I averaged 9:56/mile.

Total miles for Day #1 - 5
