C25K Week 1: Run 1of 3

Ok...So I started my running program yesterday. It is the same running program I do every year to get back in to condition. Granted, if I wasn't lazy and kept up with running all winter, I shouldn't have to do this...but oh well!

I do the Podrunner - C25K. And then continue on with their 5K-10K program. Pretty good programs - though I wish the music was different on it. Oh well...once I get to the end of the program (9 weeks for the 5K) I can go back to my rock music!!! Nice goal :-)

Anyways...Typically I run at an 11min pace on the treaddy...and knowing that when I run outside, my pace is always faster. So I pushed myself at a 9:31 pace last night...and I actually felt really good. My goal is to get to a 9min pace for a 10K this year.

Here's to a good start of my 2009 running season! ;-)

So...I'm frustrated with Blogger...seems that I can't log into my blog without jumping through a variety of hoops...and it's getting frustrated.

That being said...I feel I have gone through the gauntlet of emotions today. I'm sure a large part of it has to do with me being tired. But I really seem to be suffering from CRS today. Seriously...

I think tonight after work...I'm going to go run...eat a light supper...and then spend the evening reading a book. No computer tonight!

Really...I'm severely blah right now...and I can't shake it.

More Lessons...

I have learned that no matter how happy you are for someone, or how much you support them...the evil green of envy can still rear it's ugly head.

I've learned that carrying your stress really becomes a pain in the neck, and back, and shoulders...and heck even the ASS!

I've learned that it makes me really happy when my kids are estatic that they receive books in the mail every month.

I've learned that Legoland is a good bribery for good behavior in school ;-)

I've learned that no matter how hard I try...I will never be a morning person.

I've learned that a tummy tuck costs $7200, which really sucks :-(

I've learned that no matter how many lists I make I'll always forget something.

Et tu, Brute?

I remember studying the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare back in high school. Caesar was warned to be wary of the Ides of March...I'm not superstitious...but they say nothing good ever happens on the Ides of March...it's a jinxed day.

Every year, when I get my planner refill, I always write Ides of March on 3/15. Not sure why, but I do. It's become my day I suppose...I loved that day...and as the years went on, it seems that elements of that day brought about nothing but joy and happiness.

So then why now, in 2009, has the day left me thinking "Et tu, Brute?"

What I've learned...

I've learned that I can easily waste a full day on the internet.

I've learned that no matter how hard I think I have it...someone close to me always seems to be going through something worse...so I should really relax.

I've learned that I need to get back in to exercising to help me reduce stress.

I've learned that I'm horrible at keeping up with my blog ;-)

I've learned that as much as I love my job, I love reading bedtime stories to my kids more.

I've learned that...I need to pay better attention.
