lunchtime:

the pool was too crowded so i decided to break out the fiit and give it a chance to be nice.  i was ebullient when it declared that i had lost 2.7lbs since my last workout (28 days ago, you must have been busy).  i realize that’s not much weight loss but anything with a downward trend is enough to make me happy.  just don’t give me an upward line!  so i got 35 minutes of fiiting – aerobics only.  i unlocked the island loop and didn’t think i was ever going to be done running in place.  i also managed to get about halfway through the left hula hooping, which is progress.  i tried twice and just couldn’t finish.  my hips are just retarded, i guess. 

evening:

bridge run, once over = 3 miles.  i’m getting very disheartened with my slow-pokedness.  i know that running is a very individual thing but i’m just so tired of being SO FAR BEHIND everyone else.  hubby hurt his back earlier in the day, spent the afternoon hobbling around the condo, and was still twice as fast as me.  jerk.  i jogged most of it.  i walked not quite half of the uphills but that was it.  the majority only did one lap (i think only two people did two) which i think is mostly because many of them just did a half-marathon on sunday.  unfortunately, this only accentuated how much slower i was as they were all gathered back at the cars by the time i came gasping up.  oh well.  i know i need to not beat myself up about it because at least i’m out there trying but it’s just… disheartening.
