Goal for the Day: Two Fruits

WW online has a link that helps you set small goals daily. Today's obviously, is eating two fruits. I am counting the blueberries in this morning's fresh, homemade, 3pt muffins as one, and the post-workout banana as another. So - Goal, Achieved!

I sent out an email yesterday asking (begging) people to join me in a 5K training program from coolrunning.com called the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. I just spoke to RaeLeigh, and she told me no way, no how. Hubbie also turned me down. I'm thinking I can maybe convince my little sis - after all, she already LIKES running, and it's not nearly as hard to move that little waif of a body as it is to move, well, mine.

Today's workout was 10 sets of 3-rep laps: 2 walking, 1 running. I taped my shins at the beginning to avoid shin splints, but ran the tape right off about half way through. So I am currently sweaty, my shins (and back, of course) hurt, and I am coughing up a lung (how did I ever exercise when I smoked?). I was really in a 'zone' if there is such a thing, and am also pretty damn impressed that I finished. Just imagine how awesome I'll be when I finish a 5K!

That is the workout I'll be doing the rest of the week. Tomorrow, I'll be doing a Core class and legs for Activate America. And some cardio since there's no such thing as too strong a heart! (right?) For now, need to stretch out the lactic acid in my muscles. Being sore is generally the thing I hate most about working out and has been the cause of not returning to several classes (pilates, yoga, step).

We are having an awesome day. Craig served muffins while I read the paper. We are taking part of a meal to the homeless families at our former church. Walked Zu to the coffee shop for a latte (me, not her) and finished knitting a scarf. Dinner tonight is beef tenderloin crusted in coffee with PBcupIceCream Pie for dessert. Good thing we got plenty of exercise in huh?!
