My mother printed off the training schedule and I realized that I am supposed to be doing resistance on Monday and Wednesdays and running on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whoops. Oh well, so this week I started out right. Yesterday I had every intention of doing weights at home after work but I ended up doing yard work at my new house and by the time I was done, I was too wiped to do weights. Can I call that resistance? Yard work is hard for anyone who hasn't done it before or hasn't had to rip out a jungle from their yard. (Not kidding by the way. They left me a jungle. We found a stone rooster buried under the jungle. I like it, and I'm keeping it.)
Today I went for my run and wow was I feeling good today. The weather was perfect and I was in the right mental state and my body felt good for the first time in awhile and I was moving! Even this sweet lady as I passed her was all "wow your fast". In fairness, even when I move fast for me, I am not moving that fast, but she was older. It made me feel good though and really happy with my run.
Tomorrow: more yard work. I'm counting it as resistance.
I took a flyer for my Hot/Cold Therapeutic Rice Bags to work. One girl came up to me and said "I don't want to buy one of your thingies but I do want to donate. Sorry it is only $4." I thanked her and told her that every dollar helps! It was really sweet. I have a feeling nobody is going to buy a bag which is disappointing, especially since another co-worker brought in her son's cub scout bake sale stuff and almost everyone bought something from him because she has been around for several years and they are all close. I even bought something I didn't really want just because I wanted to support the kid. Social standings at work are a bummer.
I've been really bad about fundraising as a whole though. Sarah and I are going boot blocking on Sunday and then I really need to get my butt in gear and get out there.
Thank you all for following me even when I complain. Please help fight blood cancers and help those in need and donate!
