Good morning!!
Well, I didn't run. I chickened out. The wind really scared me away from it. Driving home last night from work my minivan was being pushed by the wind. I could only imagine me running in that wind.
So I did the eliptical instead this morning. I tried to talk myself out of it, but I knew that I'd be mad at myself if I didn't...so the eliptical won out over sleeping those extra minutes.
I covered the timer with a piece of paper & put on the music...and I told myself I'll do it for 3 songs & then check the time. I was shooting for 10 minutes. Well, after those 3 songs, it was 11 1/2 minutes!! So then I said...ok, I'll try to do 2 more songs. After those songs, it was 19 minutes & 40 seconds...so I watched the time until I hit 20 minutes!!! I couldn't believe I made it that long.
I remember seeing a poster recently say that once you get past the initial leg burn it isn't too hard. She was definitely right!! Probably somewhere around 6 or 7 minutes, I almost wanted to quit. But I told myself to finish out the 3 songs...and then after they were done, my legs didn't feel too bad.
I laid on the floor for about 4 or 5 minutes after I was done, to stretch out and catch my breath. Then I went into the bathroom & talked to DH while he was finishing up getting ready. And I asked him to go downstairs to get me a bottle of water b/c I didn't trust my legs on the steps!
Sorry for the long post about one workout...but it's a big accomplishment for me, and I know it's an alternative to running outside on those wintery mornings!! This weekend is supposed to be nice, so I may try to run both Sat & Sun to catch up on the running program.
Have a GREAT day!!
That's great about the pants! I love when that happens
