Well, tonight as tired and lazy as I was, I got my ass off the couch and went to the gym. I didn't want to do anything that would over do it since I have a scheduled run with some other mom's tomorrow at 8am. So I decided that I would just run a 5k instead of trying to do a run from my 5k to 10k app. I was however, gonna try to improve on my 5k time of 33:25.4. Which I did I ran 3.12 miles in 31.14, and this was on a treadmill. (I believe it's harder to run for time on a treadmill since there is no visual incentive to go faster or try harder.)
I feel so good to have gotten that run in and getting myself off the couch. I also have to remember to stop being so hard on myself. I did run 4.2 miles on Sunday while pushing both my kids in a running stroller, which is an extra 60lbs. Every time I start to get mad at myself, for not working out or running, I realize I really am not doing bad. I'm just on the same workout schedule. As long as I don't give up on myself, I'm good.
BTW, it seems to hold true for every 100 calories you want to burn you need to run a mile. If you want to eat junk food in the range of 1000 calories then you need to run 10 miles to burn in off. Remember that.
