It's been a slow week....

on the exercise front. I've been sick so I haven't done much.
Since last Wednesday, I ran, on Saturday with V, that went well, Monday I played hockey, so so, and yesterday I went to my first pilates class. That Pilates is a weird thing. I kept waiting for the work out to start and it never did. To be completely honest, I do feel a bit stiff in my 'core' muscle today, but certainly not sore or hurting. And it was kind of boring. I think I"m a bit to much of a 'turbo' type to really be into pilates. Maybe yoga I could do because I like stretching and convening with the universe, so I will try that next. I wonder if people go to pilates, and then say "I worked out today, I went to pilates" For me, pilates doesn't count as a work out, (sorry).
I am eating healthy I think, lots of raw, okay well there was that chip indulgence on Monday night, but I' still doing smoothies everyday, and an energy bar, spinach wrap for lunch, and veggies and dip for dinner last night.
I really want to go to the Den of S&M, but I'm afraid because I am still not 100%. I didn't go to hockey last Friday, and don't know if I'm up for it this Friday either. Verr disappointing. But I know even just Monday hockey, wore me out, so I know Friday will be too much.
Well that's the update. One run, One hockey, One pilates,  in one week,
not proud, need to get back on track.In a perfect world I would run 3X a week, I'm going to tell C. right now

15 days in

I can't believe that I'm half way to 30 days, how the heck did that happen. Do months always whip by so quickly?
As I said in my last post I was crippled from the Den of S and M on Friday. That over doing at the boxing gym has led to a downhill spiral. Friday night I started to get sick, as well as crippled, and Saturday morning, I resorted to Motrin. All day saturday, we were at a hockey tournament, so there was no excercise, and not much healthy food. I fell asleep on the couch before the first hockey game was over.
Sunday I was up really early and went for a run with Veronica. Who, as it turns out, is an excellent running partner. I felt better after that run, but my cold was hitting full tilt, and I started to cough. Monday was hockey, not that hard but I know I'm feeling run down. Tuesday rest and this morning!!!
This morning, HRH dropped me off at the park, and I ran nonstop from the playground to the little hill, then walked over the hill, ran to the wall, and back to the little hill. Then I walked to the loopy thing, and ran back to the playground. The hardest part was walking up the hill on the way home! H.C.
I found if I don't think too much about what I'm doing I can run much farther. And don't look how much further you have to go, or want to go, just look up and say "wow look how far I've come"
Today was my 6th run EVER. It is like some sort of miracle. I'm sick, so I feel I need to walk / run
that fine line between keeping going to work it out; and too much. Better nutrition, lots of rest. That's all I really know.

I feel like I should go for a nap right now though.
nighty night

apparently.....

Hello blog world
apparently I am better at exercise than blogging.

Here is what I have done since my first post:
Tuesday: first time jogging ever, Magwood to Old Mill and back
Wednesday: crippled
Thursday: Magwood to Old Mill and back, more running less walking, 
Friday: Boxing, or as I will from now on refer to it. The den of S and M
Saturday: crippled
Sunday: ran around the block for half an hour, torturous and boring.
Monday: Hockey, perhaps a slight more stamina, hard to tell for sure.
Tuesday: running, twice around High Park
Wednesday: rest, hour and a half evening walk with V
Thursday: To the den of Sand M
Friday: crippled.

So that brings us to today. Last weekend I went through a pretty crazy detox, but am perhaps past that now.
Need to eat better, stop with the white poisons. Feeling like on the verge of a cold, which I understand when you detox and over do you become more susceptible.

So that's the update, til next time.

Happy Birthday to me

Hello blog world

today is my 45th birthday, and this week something amazing happened. I was telling my friend cathy how it was so weird, how I can skate, and bike and play ball sports, but to RUN! ie jog. Impossible.
Cathy said when she started jogging she couldn't do it, and it took her 5 years to be able to jog far.
She said you just have to go slow.
Okay I said, let's go tomorrow.
Guess what.......I can jog!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to slow down. Cathy pointed out that I'm a sprinter, and I thought about it....and she's right!
I am a sprinter, all the sports I play are sprinty sports. WOW
So 2 days before I turned 45 I discovered I could do something that I was completely convinced I could not do.
And it's all thanks to Cathy. I told her it was the best birthday present I ever got.

So the reason I started this blog was to journal, for the next 30 days (ish) my athletic? workout? jogging? journey.
There will be lots of food stuff too.
