Accomplishments

I made Huge accomplishments this morning.  I got up.  (That's an accomplishment in itself.)  Early.  (Super accomplishment).  And worked out.  This morning!  :)  Woohoo!  That won't happen too often.  But all went well.  It was cold and the wind was blowing 60 miles an hour and rainy.  So, I did that dreaded thing and ran on the treadmill.  I ran 4 miles, though I confess that I did walk some too. 

My legs still hurt.  But I carry on.  I didn't get to ice them last night (due to small group) or this morning after my workout.  I have no ice at my office.  But I will continue to stretch a lot today.  I'm leaving town today and will be gone through the weekend, so there is No Telling what my workouts will bring for the next several days.  My long run for the weekend (which hasn't been an actual "run" in 2 weeks - yikes) will probably get pushed to Monday.  We'll see.

I did get on the scales at the gym this morning and they say I've lost 8 pounds.  Which is pretty great considering I still eat whatever I want to.  But all scales are different, so the weight I last recall registering on different scales, could have been off.  I feel like maybe I've lost 3 or 4 pounds.  I can't really tell the weight loss in my clothes, but then again, I don't pay much attention.  That's not what this endeavor was about.  I do feel like my legs are stronger, my whole body really, except my arms.  They don't feel stronger.  Not really all that surprising. 

So "yay!" for feeling stronger.  Cool if I lost a few pounds.  And now I think that I deserve a cupcake.  :)
