honeymoon reservations

Today, I finally made our hotel reservations. We were hoping to go to Mexico again, but when Evan's parents got a good deal on Disney tickets. It just made sense to go to one of our most favorite places. 

I'm so so so excited!! Every time I start making plans for a Disney trip, I just get so excited! I love that place. I'm so lucky that Evan loves it as much as me....maybe even more!

Day 27

Awesome run tonight!!! I think I can finally call myself a runner!

I could have wimped out today. I wanted to earlier too. I wasn't feel very well and definitely not in the mood to run. But, once I got started, I just had to finish. Tonight, I decided to shuffle instead of walk for my warm-up. It definitely helped. My first couple of laps were great. I think because I was more warm and loose than if I had only walked. 

I finished my first mile in 10 min. 15 seconds. My third mile was the hardest and slowest, but I made up for it running my last lap in a little over 2 min. 5 miles in 52 min. 22 seconds!

Day 27 (52 min.)

shuffle 5 min.

jog 4 min. walk 1 min.

walk 5 min.

Day 26

Boo Day 26!

I've got to get out of this slump. My legs just don't want to work. It takes me a couple of laps before my legs start working properly. I think next run I will shuffle during warm up instead of walk. Maybe that will be a better warm-up. The run was pretty short, but my body acted as though I had been running all day.

Day 26 (35 min.)

walk 5 min.

jog 4 min. walk 1 min. x 5

walk 5 min.

Day 25

Tonight wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't try to go fast and I'm really glad about that. I felt really good afterwards....and not too bad during. My pace did slow down quite a bit from Saturdays run though. I ended up running a little over 4 miles in 48 minutes. Not bad.

Day 25 (59 min.)

walk 5 min.

jog 6 min. walk 1 min.

walk 5 min.

Oh, and no foot pain today. Hopefully that's gone now. I need to remember to wear better shoes on subbing days. Tomorrow is 2nd grade/ half day....wish me luck!

Day 24

New shoes change everything! Okay, not really, but today's run was pretty great. And....it could be because of my new shoes right? Tonight was the end of our recovery week. I'm too scared to look at next weeks schedule. I cut 18 seconds off my time. I know that's not a lot, but it's a start! I'm now running/walking 10:56 minute miles. hahaha!

Day 24 (54 min.)

5 min. walk

2 min. jog 1 min. walk x 4 miles

5 min. walk

new running shoes

My wonderfully generous grandmother bought me new running shoes today. I actually went to a running store and got "fitted" for new shoes. It was a really interesting experience. At first, i was a little intimidated being in a specialty store like that. But, now I have shoes that will be good for me. Now hopefully this shooting pain in my right foot will go away. Ready for a run tomorrow! (After we get Evan's new shoes! Shhhh. It's a secret.)

Day 23

What's the deal? This week was supposed to be an easy week, but I just don't feel like running. Thursday's run was a total joke. I was such a flake. Evan even had a hard time finishing. It wasn't that we were tired or that the run was even hard. I think it's just been a weird week and were both out of it. I have a feeling the next few weeks is going to be a test of will power. Will we keep going or head back to the couch? KEEP GOING!!!!

Day 23 (40 min.)

walk 5 min.

jog 2 min. walk 1 min. x 10
