Yesterday did not go as expected, with many more things to do than I had planned. Saturday was washed out by rain and wind, so I opted to run on Sunday instead. Sunday turned into a day of running around like crazy!
I went to church yesterday morning and had originally planned on being there to do the spotlight. The person that normally does the lighting was not able to be there that day, so I took care of the lighting for the service. (Its actually a lot of fun) While at church I was reminded that I needed to go shop for Operation Christmas Child, so we made the plan to have lunch, take TJ to hockey practice, then go shopping with TJ for the OCC boxes. By the time we got through all that it was almost 4 pm. I had a meeting at the church last night from 5-6pm, so that pretty much gave me from 4-5 to get dressed, run, then go to the meeting.
The good news is I did get out there and run, but the bad news is I did not get to 3 miles. It was actually a pretty miserable run, only because I was so worried about the time constraint that my mind was very preoccupied. I didn't feel like I could really ENJOY it. I also had little battery left in my iphone (because I didn't plan well enough in advance) so I couldn't run both my music and the program that measures my distance. I decided to run my music, so I timed my run, which was around 30 minutes. I know I did at least two miles based on my previous runs, but I know I didn't get to 3.
My plan for this next week is to continue on with my program - Tuesday and Thursday I will run for 30 minutes, then Saturday I will run 4 miles.
WEIGHT LOSS TIP: You've all heard this one I'm sure, but I think every little bit helps. Park far away from stores or work, so that you have to walk farther. Also, use the stairs instead of the elevator. Very rarely do I ever use an elevator now. These are calories I know I burn, but I don't actually add them into my daily calories.
