Next week is going to be better.
Next week is going to be better.
Next week is going to be better.
Next week is going to be better.


Oh, I'm full of good intentions. Motivation? Not so much. Action? Um, no. But, dammit, next week is going to be better!

(0 miles this week. I don't even know how you come up with a min/mile pace for that. I'm pretty sure it equals "sucks", though.)

stupid kilometers

ok. quick update first, then ranting.

Tuesday: 3/4 - 2 miles, 24:19. No stopping. Felt really good.

Today: 3/9 - 2 miles, 22:51. One 2 minute break in the middle.

Now the rant: Stupid google pedometer. I mapped out what I thought was a 3 mile route. I went and ran it and was pleasantly surprised when I finished the first mile and a half in 11:12. Skeptical, but surprised. But then I decided that the second mile and a half would be slower and harder. Then I get home and my watch says 23 minutes. And I think "there is NO way I ran 3 miles in 23 minutes. That's less than an 8 minute mile. No way." So, I calculated it again and it turns out that the first time I was calculating in kilometers, not miles. Arrrggghhh!!!! So, I just managed to run 2 miles in 23 minutes. Go me.

38.5 behind

but slowly gaining! (that's right, I'm looking at this as a "the mile is almost done" situation.)

Update: Fri 2/22 - ran for 34 minutes, no stopping. I'm calling it 2.5 (or at least, I'm pretty sure it wasn't 3.

Tues 2/26 - 2 miles. 24 minutes. 1 stop. very little whining. some cussing.
10 pushups. 10 crunches. 10 jumping jacks. boo. yah. grand. ma.

38.5 miles behind, but I'll get there. never you fear!

And this week...

2 on Tuesday
3 on Thursday
4 on Sunday

Sooooo thankful we've got a few more weeks before I have to cross that 5 mile threshold!
