Darcy got new kix!

Thursday - June 5, 2008

So, I went out today and bought running shoes. Hit up Dick's Sporting goods for a new set of kix, and perhaps one of those iPod thingies I've read about.

Read more about Nike +

So, another exhausting day... getting ready for pre-K graduation, kindie screen for Kayla, appointment with Speech Therapist for Kayla... and a stop at Dick's.

Dale asked if I was watching the C's with him. Of course I was! duh....

Then I spied my new shoes sitting by the door.

hmmm.....

I was sore from last nights run. I was still tired. I decided to take a test drive....

Ginger is loving this new addiction! We set out to do an out and back of Peter Rd. The shoes I got felt good... My muscles objections faded after the first few strides. Unfortunately, Ginger hasn't spent the last 5 months at the gym. I drop her off after mile 1, and announce that I'm continuing... C's were up, exciting game but my body wanted more!

I set off. Taking my rest breaks. At the end of the street, I walk for a minute and pick back up. Intervals. Just like the gym.

I'm an analytical person by trade. I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. I like to crunch the numbers. Analyze results. This weight loss thing... I run everything by the numbers. This journey will definitely not be any different! In my head, I run over the training schedule, the logging, the new iPod thingee in my shoe which hasn't been calibrated yet. Of course, I can turn the simplest endeavors into a big fat math equation!

2 miles later, I decided to go stink up the man cave and watch the end of the C's game! GO GREEN!
