Slug Like Week

I'm not sure what happened at the end of the month. I kinda became a slug. I didn't really work out Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I did lots of cleaning on Saturday and Sunday but not really a workout. And Monday well I really was slug like relaxing at the parade and picnic. Tuesday I did better by jogging 40 minutes. I was still red when I went to work from my jog. Everyone thought I had sunburn. Wednesday I celebrated National Running Day by going to my running class. We did our warm up and drills, then worked on pacing. We were suppose to do the first 7 minutes slowly, the next 7 moderately, and the last 7 fast. The only problem is I only have 2 speeds: really slow and slightly faster. So my last 14 minutes were really the same pace. I don't have enough endurance or speed yet but I'm working on it. Thursday I mowed the lawn for an hour. I would have rather jogged but the lawn needed mowing. Maybe I should pave over the yard. I plan on jogging with Davey in the stroller today. Hopefully this week I can be a little more balanced in my workouts by doing some weights and jogging.

Really slow and slightly faster are still faster than sitting down. :)

Paving over the lawn: Excellent idea. Also, doing any jogging at all is terrific. :)

Isn't a blog a great place to hold yourself accountable! I think yor doing great. Every time I read your updates I feel like I should get up off the couch:)

I think you've done great. Pushing a lawn mower is super exercise. I have one pace when I run and I don't know if it's slow or slightly faster, so you've got one on me.

I've read that housework counts as working out - so you are covered. Wishing I had done some housework...so it could be over with...

Paving over the yard? LOL Once when we owned a townhouse, we put a deck over our entire backyard. No maintenance!

I have the same speeds as you! I saw a shirt that had the motto "My strategy is to start slow and slow down from there." I loved it!

A little jealous - I wish I had half of your motivation to work out.

Love to you

Running class and mowing? Doesn't sound like any slug I know. I have two speeds too, no speed and slow.
