A day at the beach

I reeeeally failed to want to run today.

but surprisingly, the treadmill turned into calling to me greater-so than going for walks outdoor. I chugged some water after which grudgingly were given at the treadmill. at the agenda these days was a pace run--20 minutes smooth, then 20 minutes at tempo pace, then 10 minutes easy, for a total of fifty minutes.

about a minute in, I started considering going out of doors rather. i used to be debating in my head which would go with the aid of faster; I decided to provide the treadmill 10 minutes after which determine. I got caught up in an episode of the biggest Loser, so then I decided to live on the treadmill. I usually should do little thoughts video games to make myself get a exercising in!

i used to be making plans on my pace velocity being 7.zero, but after approximately five minutes, I thought, "I virtually do not know if i'm able to preserve this for 20 mins nowadays" and that i determined to take it down to 6.6. Then on the end, I went lower back as much as 7.zero for the remaining five minutes.

The chart doesn't look nearly as fun as it does when I do sprints.

After my run, I still had to do my Wii Active workout (#15 of 20). It was mostly shoulders and arms today, which was good because my legs were pretty sore from yesterday's squats.

My older brother Brian got here in for the day from Minnesota. We ended up going to the beach on the nation park. I don't like to swim, however i really like to sit in the shade and sense the breeze off the lake. It felt superb! the lads had a blast gambling inside the sand.

Noah got up after that photo, but Eli just laid there for the longest time. I thought he might actually fall asleep.

Check out this awesome Manager's Special that I spotted at Kroger:

sure, that reads $zero.09 according to bar. I don't know if that turned into a typo after they made the stickers, however i used to be pretty impressed with that! normally the "manager's special" objects suggest that it will expire soon, but these do not expire for approximately six months. So I don't have any concept why they have been so reasonably-priced. however i bought all that they had (7 bars).

I wasn't absolutely WOW'ed via the flavor of the bars, and i probable wouldn't purchase them if they weren't so reasonably-priced, but I could not withstand once I noticed that charge.

i used to be going over my 30-in-30 listing, and that i were given a little overwhelmed with all the goals i haven't crossed off but. I suppose after I wrote the list, I underestimated the quantity of time education for a marathon might soak up... not to mention  marathons in the identical year! I suppose day after today I may additionally slim it right down to a list of month-to-month dreams, so I do not sense so crushed. And some of the desires I had included at the list don't surely seem that critical anymore, so I may also exchange them up. Or put off them altogether.

I assume what i am pronouncing is that i am performed working on that 30-in-30 list because I probable might not be able to get all of it accomplished, and i'm going to make another aim list ;) I assume sticking to month-to-month goals may be a lot easier for me to hold track of.

I can't consider it's the second week of August already!
