This Weekend's Workout (2/11/05-1/13/05)

OK

On Saturday morning at 8am the Vagas got together to run a practice 10K. Needless to say I was the worst in the group. First it was cold and the ground was hard. I didn't get a good warm-up or stretch, so I was constantly walking. I didn't even do the entire 6 miles. In the interest of time, I did a shorter 4.5 mile loop mostly alone, but I prefer it that way. Just when I started to enjoy running inside, the outside running wasn't as much fun at all. But we ran downtown and the scenery was pretty cool. When the weather gets better I would probably run downtown more often.

Cardio:
- Dist: 4.5 miles (approx.)
- Time: 1:15 minutes (approx.)

I'm thinking of quitting the Vagas. I will run a 10K this year, but not in March. I was stupid to think that a 200lb woman who has never run a day in her life could be ready to run a 10K in 3 months. I have the desire, but not the strength. I'll stick w/ my current training program, but I'll need to decide soon if I'm going to run in March or not.

In the food department, I started celebrating by birthday on Sunday, so I've eating a lot of stuff that I shouldn't have. I didn't even bother w/the points. I figured it's my birthday and I can eat what I want to. So, I turned my back on points and gave myself a 2 day passport to food.

In other bad news, my laptop is no more. I pulled out the plug on Friday morning and the pin that's connected to the laptop came out with it. The cost to fix it far outweighed its value. So, I'm going to wait until I complete my taxes before I decided what to do about it. The folks at Micro Center helped me copy the critical files to a CD. But no more SIMS or surfing the web from the dining room. :-(
