Well, tonight I am hurting. lol
We went out to Willow Lake and we turned left. Yowza! That trail kicked my ass. It was easy and level and fun... For a while. Then we got a lot of uphill and downhill and repeat. A lot. lol
The last half mile I kept playing Jillian yelling, "Unless you faint, puke or die, keep walking!" over and over in my head. And I did. I made it. I dragged serious ass the last half mile. But I am glad that I did it and I do feel good. (Under the sore muscles... lol) Yes, I am sore tonight and tired out, too. I should sleep well. Especially after I take a couple of Advil PM.
I think I am going to stick to the easier trails, for a while. I need to challenge myself but I don't want to end up lying in a heap out in the middle of the Willow Lake trail system. It would be hard to move me out of there... ;) lol
Okay. I am wiped and falling asleep while typing this so I am going to sign off and hit the sack.
If the above post made any sense at all, I will be shocked.
Seriously.
I am brain dead, right now. lol

It made tons of sense. I never wanted to before but now that I am a little lighter I really like getting outside and moving...as long as it isn't crushingly humid. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job!
I am so proud of you! Keep up this amazing work!! It will truly get easier too.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Don't push yourself too hard too fast, though!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Erika! I love that feeling...it hurts, but it feels good. And I haven't felt it in awhile. So you inspire me to get on the treadmill today and do 3 miles, depending on the outside humidity. Or maybe 2 on treadmill and 1 outside. Can't let you get too far ahead of me in the exercise department!
ReplyDeleteGo, Jo, go! A mile, two miles, whatever you can do is good and beneficial to health and helps burn the old fat reserves.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I know that it gets easier, but I am going to have to power through the adjustment period, that is for sure. :D
First Steps, don't I know it! :D The way I see it is, challenging myself is good, pushing too hard could literally kill me right now. I don't want that... ;) lol
Scarlett, I am not looking forward to the humidity moving in. Monsoon Season is upon us and it should be firing up, soon. Ugh! I hate humidity!
Way to go you are doing great. I do not know if I could push myself that hard..
ReplyDeleteLOVE that quote from Jillian. Another one of hers or Bob's is "no one ever drowned in sweat". I have a list of all their quotes. You are doing so great. Have I mentioned how proud I am of you?
