Yeah, I know I already posted, but I'm feeling chatty this morning lol.
My run was really good. I think the new workout routine is working. My run "feels" faster. I'm pushing harder through the entire run (not relaxing on the downhills) and I'm recovering quickly (fitness is in the recovery time). My mood is tenfold better after the run too. And it was really humid - that usually signals a crappy run - so extra HAPPY.
I don't want to time my run. It feels like the scale. It will either validate what I know (my pace is improving) or leave me disappointed (because my "improved" pace still sucks). I don't see an upside. When (and if) it carries no self-worth measure, I'll time it for fun.
I do some "heavy" weights after the run. Three set of two moves - slowly - hit the "fail" at about 7 reps. That means I'm using the "right" amount of weight. Time to put on the big girl panties and actually lift WEIGHT (not tons of reps with 5 lbs).
My dog gets an off-leash walk after the run. It's still dark at that time and quiet on a Sunday. He loves off-leash and I love combining my cool-down with his "run." (He sniffs, stops and then races to catch up to me - intervals for the old man!)
Early Sunday morning - my favorite morning of the week.
New ME and my new ME schedule are going strong.
I'm proud of my patience. I normally (only) do things that give immediate validation (ie. strict diet, etc). But lately, I'm doing things that require time and patience to show results.
What you ask?
Eyelash grower (yep - still doing it, still loving it - maintaining good lash!!)
Collagen peptides (joints, skin, nails, hair - hair is absolutely thicker - shedding less)
Weight training (getting stronger - slowly - but no injury)
Healthy diet (becoming more a habit than an effort)
I rock. Yep, I do.
Designing my life. Designing my HAPPY. It works.
P.S. I got confirmation of a wine tour in Napa (for November) - it's the one I really am excited about - woohoo!!
Starbucks is calling. Later gators.
