I set out to run 2 miles this morning...I didn't even make it to one. Didn't find out until later, but I ended up straining my calf muscle. I knew when I got up that I shouldn't have run. This is what I get for not listening.

*Update* It is now exactly a week after I injured my leg and I still cannot walk properly on it. It's better, but I still hobble. There will definitely not be any running any time in my near future! I'll just have to be happy with walking, swimming, and teaching swim lessons!

2 miles.

20.02 minutes.

Not bad. :)

I was feeling pretty tired today... I was up pretty late last night. We also jumped with the boys on the trampoline last night so my thighs were not loose and ready for the run, but I did it, and it felt good!

1.4 miles.

14.36 minutes.

This is my first day running again after being sick for 1 &1/2 weeks. I just wanted to get out for a nice easy run to test how I felt. It was hard...every muscle protested. But I made it, and it feels great to be able to run again!

Today was the Semper Fi Injured Marine 5k fun run.

We headed out to the park at about 7:20, got the boys eating their doughnuts while I got registered. Then at 8 o'clock they sent us off! I found a running buddy and she got me running pretty fast for the first mile - something I don't usually do! I usually run a little slower the first couple of miles, and then pick up the pace for the last ones. O'well!

I came in at 31.04 seconds...not bad for my first 3 mile race is a long time! I could have done better though...ya know, maybe if I would've run a little more in the weeks previous, or something. I also had to walk three times, as two of those times I thought I was going to puke. But I didn't. And I made it!!!

Ian, Andrew and I went to exercise group this morning! But we just did 30 minutes, because Andrew had done enough! I'm glad that we did leave then, because she was brutal! We did so many squats that of course my legs are killing me today!! Good thing the only other form of exercise I'm doing before the race is swimming!!
