Who am I kidding. What I did today was START OVER.
It was a slow start, but it was a start.
I tried to convince myself to only run my mile loop, but I knew I needed to run longer than that. I ran the 2.25 mile loop. Well, ran/walked the loop. It took me approximately "a long time" to finish. I say approximately because my running watch took a fatal dip in the hot tub while we were in Colorado. So, let's go with "really slow".
But, I did it. I stuck with my plan. July is a month that is particularly free of "must dos", so it is a really good time to get back in the habit of daily exercising. That is my plan. In addition to regular running, I have taken on two "Challenges" courtesy of The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans .
I had started the June challenge last month, but had to stop because of a pulled abdominal muscle. So this month I am redoing the the June Challenge and adding the July Arm Challenge. I finished day three after my run and cool down walk with Carley.
The crunches weren't bad and I was glad to see that my injured stomach seems to be healed. I did modified push-ups because, at this point, the full push-up is hard and always hurts my knees. I plan to be doing full push-ups before the end of the month. Due to my non-existent watch, I had to count out the plank seconds. I counted one-one thousand, two-one thousand,...,fifteen-one thousand. If, by chance, I counted a teeny bit quicker in the teens it was unintentional. The dips were a bit easier, but I felt them toward the end.
What are your plans for July?
