Friday!

     I walked today for my thirty minutes.  I'm glad I got a workout done before the weekend.  I am such a slacker on the weekend.  So, I guess I'll have to add a weekend workout to see if I can push myself a little more.  It's something to consider.  It probably won't be this weekend.

Run Beverage Run...

     To my surprise, I got out of bed this morning.  I was laying there feeling tired and unmotivated.  But, somewhere in the back of my head, I had a stronger feeling to workout and run off some Halloween sugar!  I held onto that feeling and got dressed for the gym.  I was energized this morning, so I ran more in the earlier minutes.  Later, when my HR was hitting the 180's, I slowed to a 3mph walk.
     So, my consistency is back.  I find it hard to workout on weekends, so my track record is spotty.  If I don't workout on Friday through Sunday, then I feel the pressure to use the treadmill on Monday through Thursday.  This doesn't seem bad, but I need to feel that same pressure on the weekends to positively impact my weekly consistency. 
     It all seems so easy...then I try to run.  It is so invigorating getting off the machine after thirty minutes of having an elevated heart rate and sweat pouring out of my head.  But, I have to run to get that worked-out.  As long as my shins can do it, then I'll keep trying to run.
