Can I do it? Yes I can!

OK so I woke up with a headache, but the morning has lots of chores. Folding laundry, making beds, making lunches, everyone to eat breakfast and get dressed, a quick tidy up and sometimes dishes getting washed.  So all this to do and the poor head quietly saying I’m not going away.

Well I was supposed to do a run/walk session of 20mins today and as I had no kids in my care all should have been well.  The weather is cool but not raining so really there were no excuses except this headache.  I finally took panadol as I was running out the door in hope that by the time I had taxied (if a word) the kids the ache would have gone.  Not

I got home and did some more chores and did computer stuff and even caught up on a TV show we videoed while eating fruit still hoping the ache would go.  Still NOT.

Well I made the call to go for a walk even though I felt gutted that a run wasn’t happening as I need to teach my body to run so I can hopefully run without stopping for 3km. At this point I want to laugh hahahahaha.

I got around the corner to a straight road and ran 2 lamp posts and then walked two and continued this all the way to the shops 10mins away.  I at least thought if I do it to start with then I have tried running and if my head starts pounding I can still just walk home as it would be the only way to get back.  I was so proud as I ran 2:2.  On the way home I couldn’t quite muster the strength so did my agreed quota of walk 3 run 1.  I am so proud of myself as I am seeing the strength or endurance happening.

My cheeks are red, I am wheezing and my back hurts but the head is fine so all good.

Tomorrow is a rest day yahoo.  But I am in such a rhythm I may miss the exercise.  I should count the blessings though as I have nearly finished the 3 week block titled ‘Fitness’.  Which means the next 3 week block starts called ‘Endurance’ with 40 or even 50min cycle rides 35min runs and the expectation that in 3 weeks time the time to achieve is shortened.  Is this a challenge or what.

Well off to enjoy the rest day, actually pick up Isaiah from Kindy.
