I will be missing another soccer game tomorrow as we’re waking up and an ungodly hour tomorrow morning and driving up north for the Boyf to compete in a half ironman. Let’s hope our puppy will be on his best behavior and not frighten anyone. My running buddy described Alfie as “ferocious” — completely true.
Speaking of Soccer, I looked up the scoring results for the whole Women’s Conference and I’m tied for second place on being the top scorer! How sweet is that? I totally had to tell someone.
While I sit here and type away while my laundry is doing 4 loads down in the apartment’s basement and one left to be put in — I noticed that people really don’t know how to work the washers in our complex. I ended up getting a free load of laundry because there was a sticky note on one of the washers that said “doesn’t work”. I put my clothes in, and got a free wash. The other washer said it doesn’t rinse properly. I’ve had that happen to me before, but it was because I only put in Alfie’s bed cover and it was uneven and didn’t rinse correctly. Yay for ignoring the notes!
Yesterday was so wonderful. I had my mind set out that I was going for a run immediately after I got home from work. My heart was pounding and my stomach was turning. I never went on a run alone before — and my iPod’s battery was dead. I decided to just go for it anyway and conquer 4.41kms in 24:47!! This is the watch I bought off Ebay and blogged about earlier.
The watch says 25:32, because I walked for the first 45 seconds ;)
I talked about my 10 and 1’s before, and I did that yesterday. The first 1 minute walk was fine, and then I started to run again. 2 or 3 minutes in, is when I start to panic and my breathing goes to complete crap, and I can’t seem to “calm” my breathing down sometimes. So, I decided to walk again! I wasn’t really angry with myself this time, but I only needed another minute or so and I was off on my run again. Started slow, and finished fast. I ended up jogging fast (not sprinting, because I was done), and nearly collapsed (okay not really) when I reached the fence of the apartment building.
Even with my veins popping out of my head.
Time to refuel with water (x3)
Then I had to prepare supper for the both of us but have it ready for 9PM when the boyf got back from his endur-ride on his road bike. Superstar.
Lululemon was adding Loot to their sale section on their website the whole night last night. I ended up scoring some more Run: Zoom crops (the ones I’m wearing in the photo above) for 50% off! They’re still avail, but going quickly. I have decided I like the Zoom’s better than my Run: Empower crops for running, primarily because Zoom’s have a tiny pocket in the back for keys, and the Zoom’s aren’t as compressioney on my stomach.
Anyway, this entry is long enough – even though I have much more to babble on about, I’m sure that’s enough reading for one day! :)
Will be back tomorrow with a race re-cap of the Half Ironman (if I get around to it that night) and don’t forget to enter my DownEast Basics (clothing) giveaway. It ends on July 5!
Last week I didn’t have my outfits picked out for the whole week on Sunday night. So I think I wore basically the same thing on June 2, as I did on June 3. Classy.
Here’s my outfit!
Cardigan: Old Navy
Vneck grey top: Old Navy
Bermuda shorts: Mexx
Watch: Ebay!!!!!!! (I blogged about this great find for timing my runs)
Flats: Aldo. They’re too big and they have an insert in them… but they still flop off my feet. They’re cuuuute though. So I wear them.
Why have I not used EBay sooner?
Last night I bought a sports watch to track my time when I run. But more specifically, track when I’m able to walk for that one minute (8 mins on, 1 min off — next week we up it to 9!).
I had a timex sports watch that I won in 2006 with my old job. But I have no clue where it is, and it had a fabric strap that kind of broke.I was also sort of eying this watch as well however, I didn’t want a fabric strap anymore, so I opted for the resin one.
Also? I needed it for an alarm clock in the mornings. My blackberry’s alarm clock doesn’t work anymore!
This watch retails for $79.99 on the Timex website (view here) but on Ebay I bought it for nearly half that! I didn’t even have to bid because it was a buy now option.
Cha-ching!
I hope it arrives soon!! :)
