Spring Break

Well, spring break is now over. Sob. LOL! Only kidding it was actually a really good break. I almost forgot to do my weekend blog update. What was I thinking? I got in exercise a couple of days, but stayed busy and active all of break (I did a lot of painting and yard work). I started two things while on break. First, I gave up pop for the 1200th time in my life. I figure if I keep trying, one of these times it will stick. I decided to try again after seeing two shows during break that talked about how horrible pop is for you. A fact that I already knew, but it is good to be reminded of from time to time. The second thing I am now trying is a Monday-Wednesday-Saturday running/walking schedule. On those three days I have to go for a walk or a run. If it is a run I have to run for at least a mile. If it is a walk I have to walk for at least an hour. Of course I can go for walks or runs on the other days of the week, but on those three days it is not optional. On Saturday I walked for an hour around Hobart and really enjoyed it. I love Hobart because it reminds me of my grandparents. Between these three days and my Tuesday/Thursday Zumba class, that makes for at least 5 days a week of exercise. The key is going to be forcing myself to go on Mon-Wed-Sat for the first few weeks no matter how I feel.

Anywho, those are the two things I am focusing on for the next month. My April race is next Saturday. It’s a 5K in Valpo. I wish it was more towards the middle of the month since my March race was just last weekend, but I am super excited to be running a race in Indiana instead of taking the train to Chicago.

I hope everybody has a good week, and don’t forget to eat a green thing every day.

Happy Running!
