A screaming success last night.
After Wednesday's long, dragging run/walk (all of 35 minutes), I was not eager to exercise again. I'm done. Aren't I? So I fell asleep on the couch after dinner for a few minutes, then woke up and shook myself a bit. Cleaned out the fridge. Finished the grocery list. Got on the computer. Argued with myself.
And then, I went to the gym.
Not my best workout. 35 minutes of moderate level elliptical. 2.37 miles. But the triumph is, I did it. Even when I didn't want to.

So far this week: 174 minutes exercised.
10.9 miles.

I am skipping Pilates this week, and I'm only going to go next week and that will be that. It's a good workout, but my schedule has completely changed.
I go to BoiseRunWalk tomorrow for their long run/training/companionship. It's at the ungoshly hour of 0730. Um, hello, that's usually when I am dragging myself out of bed! But I will go. And I will run. And it will be good.
And I will add another hour to my workouts for the week, and another 4 miles. And that will be awesome. I was worried that I was going to overdo, but skipping Pilates and then taking two rest days seemed to be the ticket.

Next week, I'll walk Sun, elliptical M, run/walk Tues, rest Weds, run/walk Thurs, Pilates Fri, and long run Saturday. Or I may change it around. Who knows?
