Hello! This blog is titled 'Guilty Feelings' because I feel guilty for last night. Not because I didn't run... I think that that was a smart decision. My finace (since he is doing his 365 challenge) had to run in the monsoon we were having and he told me today that that run took a lot out of him... that says a lot since he has been running since 7th grade and I haven't. I feel guilty because I didn't even do my sit-ups, push-ups, or oblique bends. Not only that, but today I feel like I should have at least popped in a workout DVD at some point in time. Oh well, we live and learn, right?
Well, today it's like 30 mph winds. Gross. I'm seriously considering either waiting until 7 p.m. to run when the wind is supposed to only be like 12 mph or going to my in-laws and using their treadmill. The dreadmill as I call it. I really hate using treadmills. As you run on your own, you automatically adjust speed according to how your body feels. So when I run a 12 minute mile, during that mile sometimes I'll run at 14:30 for a little while and 9:50 for a while, or what have you and it averages out to be a 12 minute mile. Well, on a treadmill, you have to run at that one constant speed (5.0 mph for a 12 minute mile) and it wears on you. It's not natural. Not only that but I don't know how to work the tv there so I have to stare at the little blinking dot that makes it feel like a mile takes about an hour instead of 12 minutes. Plus, I feel like a real runner when I brave the outdoor suckiness from time to time.
Okay... so for today's healthiness challenge: 2 mile run. Same strength stuff as all this week EXCEPT to *punish* myself and teach myself a lesson... 100 crunches, 20 pushups, and 100 oblique bends. That's double duty... maybe next time I don't do cardio since it's my off day... I'll remember to atleast do strengthening exercises.
Buh bye!
