I did it...again.

So, I did the Week 4 run again on Monday...and plan to do it today as well.  I did it.  It was tough, but I got through. 

I really think that the fact that I did the bike and leg weight machines before, last time, had something to do with not being able to finish last week.

I was told by a friend to do weights before I do my cardio...but I think, because most of the machines I'm doing, are leg machines, that its not helping me in the running department.  Its tiring out my legs before I get a chance to run.  I was talking to the trainer who works in the gym here at work and she said that she always does her cardio before the weights. 

Gah...who do I listen to??  I get one thing from one group and another from another group.  I guess in my head, I figure, at this point...at least I'm doing it and who cares, right now, in what order I do it.  If I need to do my weights after I run, so that I can make it through, that is what I'm going to do.  (No offense Jackie ;-) LOL)

So today I will run again.  I'm not worried about it.  I will finish. 

Random TMI...what I do worry about today is the fact that I forgot my sports bra.  LOL  I'm not small chested.  It'll be interesting to see how this goes.  I may injure someone on the treadmill next to me!!  Hahaha!

I plan to do Week 4 the rest of this week...and possibly next week.  Not sure yet.  I haven't looked to see what Week 5 is.  LOL  I'm afraid to.  I am guessing its going to be 5 minute runs with a shorter rest in between.  Maybe I'll surprise myself and at least try it.

Another reason why I debate starting a new week, next week is that on the 4th (in a week and a half) I have an appointment to get a new tattoo.  Where you ask?  Crazy me...on my foot.  *smacks forehead*  I'm excited.  I've wanted it for a very long time...but figures, its going to mess up my running.  I'm pretty sure I won't be able to put a sneaker on for at least a week or so.  I'm even trying to figure out how to get ANY exercise the week after.  Can you wear flip flops to the gym?  LOL

In other news...I broke up with my boyfriend of 9 months, last week.  Its more of a relief.  I wasn't in love with him.  The old clique quote "I love you, but I'm not IN love with you" comes to mind.  It broke my heart to end things...he's a great guy.  I've decided that I should use my running as something to focus on for the next month or two...or longer.  Run to ease the pain instead of stuffing my face, and watching tv to ease the pain. 

So, wish me luck.  As I said the other day "Week 4...I OWN you!!"
