Chocolate Check-In Week 5...

Still training hard for the Hot Chocolate 5k coming up in December. I'm also trying to talk hubs into making a weight loss wager with me...I'll keep you posted.

 

Friday, September 27-Ran 1.5 miles in 17:57! 

 

Saturday, September 28-Ran 1.5 miles in 17:56 before tye dying 100+ shirts at work; glad I did this before work because I was exhausted afterwards.

 

Sunday, September 29-Walked a mile with my sweet AR and my throat gland (official terminology) started getting huge...

 

Monday, September 30-Gland wasn't any better so I went to the doctor. Turns out I have a lymphnode infection so I skipped my run and opted for a 1 mile walk with AR instead.

 

Tuesday, October 1-Ran 1.5 mile in 17:50...gland much smaller and feeling better!

 

Wednesday, October 2-Ran 1.5 mile in 17:48, this run was easy and went fast....amazing what a little Netflix will do to take your mind off the task at hand!

 

Thursday, October 3-Ran my first mile outside and it took 12:06. Glad to see that my pace on the t-mill isn't too far off of my outside pace.

 

Challenge: First thing in the morning when you wake up, do 20 jumping jacks to get going for the day! Try to increase a little bit each day.

 

When AR and I go on walks, we always pass this sign:

I'm sure the middle school kids in our neighborhood did it. While I'm not one to graffiti, I really want to add the extra line so the Mercedes symbol will go away unless, of course, the kids are trying to tell Mercedes to peace out. Hmm...
