Back on track

Whoa, I have been a slacker of late. No time for exercise at the sales meeting last week...kept us busy morning, noon, and night! I was so sleep deprived from the rigorous week, that my body was in protest and demanded I sleep in "a little bit" on Saturday. I was like a new person after the good rest. Then, of course, it was way too hot to get out and run. On Sunday, I played 2 hrs. of tennis from 1:30 to 3:30 which was EXTREMELY HOT but I made it without a heat stroke. Sad to say, I lost my 2nd match of the year. These guys are very tough to play against...some of them do not let up on their power strokes even though they are playing ladies...then, of course, we have some who are southern gentlemen...I just didn't get one of those as an opponent on Sunday. Can't blame the loss on the hubby, though, because I had a different male partner who was very good...I couldn't hold up my side of the court. Proud of myself that I did get up and wog before work today...did 1:2 intervals and it was not easy. My calves hurt, my thigh hurt, my foot hurt, but not all at one time. The hurt kept moving around and would come back, you know the routine. It was cool at first, but by the time I finished I was dripping with sweat...it was so-o humid! Gotta stick with it this week because that big 15 is creeping up on me. I can do it, I can do it.

Cheryl, See you on Sat. for the 15 mile run. Run with us if you feel like it--we've been running a 14-15 min mile. I have to miss the next runs, the 8 and 16 mile, runs but then I'll be there for the rest of the Saturdays. I live in Clinton and run in my neighborhood--I have a 3 mile loop I can run with lots of trees. I run 2-3 miles on the slow days and 3-4 miles on the longer days. Hope your training continues to go well. So you bright and early on Sat. We can do it!! Bonnie
