Mile and a Half without stopping!

Two workouts again this week. Computer problems sucked up so much of my time and left me drained. It was also very hot several, which limited my choices for running.

I ended up running twice - once on Tuesday with the kids and once on Friday without them.

On Tuesday, I ran 5 laps and the kids went the other way around the loop so I could check in with them more frequently than lapping them. They mostly did 3 loops. I did walk part of the way - I think I ran about 1.5 loops then walked about .25 of a loop, and continued sort of that way.

On Friday, I went earlier than I normally do and the weather was just perfect for running. Not too hot, not chilly at all, a nice breeze and some sunshine. I saw a deer and a rabbit. My goal was to run at least a mile without stopping to walk, but I exceeded my goal and ran 1.5 miles without stopping. Then I walked a bit and then ran a little more than a loop before walking again. So in total, I did run just over 2 miles that day, I believe. So a nice workout.

I had intended to run Tues/Thurs/Sat, but since I didn't get to it on Thursday, I couldn't run Saturday since I don't run two days in a row. (Hard on my hips to do that.) I thought I might do Tae-bo on Saturday, but I was lazy and didn't.

Maybe I'll do a bike ride today?
