Turning Flab into Fab

Thursday: May 27th
Decided I should go out for a run. It was rough...

I was hyper (without sugar) and decided that I wanted to go on a Mountain Bike ride. So I bounded over to Victoria and pestered her until she agreed (for her health benefits) that she wanted to go on a mountain bike ride with me. So Matt helped me get her bike ready and then my bike ready. I even learned how to put a new tube in my tire. We went on the wood chip trails behind the house. I managed to make it the entire way without falling while Victoria took a fun tumble into the mud. All in all we both seemed to be smiling at the end.

Victoria and I took advantage of the Memorial Holiday and the warm weather and went out Kayaking in the morning. We went to Lake Audubon in Reston where we paddled around for about 1 hour. It was enjoyable and I got to see some of the cool houses on the lake.

Hot, humid, and sore leads to no running and instead yoga. I pulled out my yoga/pilates dvd and did that for an hour. Some was easy and some of it was difficult. eh


Sunday: June 6th
I got the ball rolling and got Matt and Melissa to join me on a road bike ride in the morning. I am currently borrowing Zoya's old road bike to see if I like it (and want to spend that much $$ on a bike).

The things that I learned: it is better not to put all of your weight on your wrists, and I need padded shorts...


Monday: June 7th

The weather was perfect, 74 degrees, low humidity, and a little bit of a breeze. At the start of the run I could feel some tension in my neck/shoulders probably due to the bike ride yesterday. My running goal I have been working towards is: 2 miles non-stop at a 12:00 min/mile. As of yet, I have not achieved it. That was until today! And to make it even better, I was able to keep my average heart rate where it is supposed to be!!

Yay for a great run. Now I just have to keep it going and soon I can set a new goal.
