Week 5, day 3!

Finished week 5 today! Also, I ran this morning so didn't have to do it at lunch. That made it nice. Countdown to 5k: 10 days! I will finish week 6 and maybe start on week 7 by then! Go somewhat healthy librarian!

Running at work

It sucks, right?!?! There is no good place to change, and I spend the rest of the day not so fresh. But it is nice that I CAN run at work, for the days like today, when I could have stayed in bed all day long... And pretty much did! Week 5, day2 is done. Wooooo! 5k is next weekend. Yikes!

Oh hey, I started week 5!

As well as I'm doing with exercise, I am totally eating like crap. Next step is to marry those two bastions of health: eating right AND exercising.
If only I worked out as much as, say, Michael phelps, then I could eat as shitty as I please! No? Damn.

Week 4 will be my bitch tomorrow.

Finished day 2 today. Gonna finish this bitch up tomorrow! I think week 4 is one of the hardest weeks, so I look forward to finishing this ASAP.
It is not helpful that I ran today and walked the dogs, but then came home and had pizza and cheese nips. Baby steps.

Week 4, Day 1

I won't say that I made week 4, day one my bitch. . .but I did complete the entire thing, no walking during the runs! Week 4 is probably one of the hardest, because you go from 9 minutes of total running from wk. 3 right into 16 minutes of running in week 4. WTF? I did it though! And this is the first time I've run on a Monday in a long time. Usually if I don't run on Monday, it derails my entire week. So here's to what will hopefully be a very successful week for my running!

Countdown to 5k: 19 Days! Wow, that's longer than I thought! Maybe I'll be able to muscle through a good bit of it by then. Next step after that: continue to run! I have a bad habit of meeting a goal and then completely stopping. Not this time, baby!

Starting week 3!!!

It is difficult to run at work. There is no good place to change, and there isn't even a good place to run on campus so I have to go to a park. That's okay, but it makes it hard to get my run in on a lunch hour. It was raining yesterday and I couldn't run, so today I have to or my next chance will be Thursday. Grrrrr, I WILL get this shit done!

Week 2, day 2

I totes got a runner's high today. It was super awesome. Had the park almost to myself, which was also nice. Glad to have motivation in the form of a super cute 8 year old. I am going to try to get a large group together to cheer us on during the race. She will have quite the cheering squad, but we have a big god damn family, we can do so much better! Feel free to stop by, Edward. Since you are the only local who will read this. December 8 at unca, race starts at 11. More running dets to come, hopefully positive ones!

Week 2, day 1

Yeah, that's right. I started with week 2. Week one is for pussies. And I rocked it, even with a headache. Go me! Now next step: staying with it!

Ack! A 5k in one month!

I now have motivation to get my ass in gear and get running again. I've been asked by my aunt if I can run a 5k with my 8 yr. old cousin on December 8. Who is going to say no to that? Of course I will! Now to get off my ass and get training! C25k, here we go again! Need to find a good book to listen to in the process. Will start blogging more frequently as events unfold ;)

Nerd Tat in action

I didn't have any pics of me on the cruise that displayed the glory of the nerdy tattoo, so here is one from my sister in law. Giving me new motivation to keep dieting. And exercising.
