Day 8: Yes, my child is wearing a box on his head. He's starting a new fashion trend! (What was even better was when his daddy wore the box on his head, but he wouldn't let me take a picture!)
Can I just say how amazing this program is? Last night, I ran the most incredible run of my entire life...I ran two 8 minute intervals, with 5 minutes of walking in between. It was just awesome...I took it slow, but I felt great - my breathing was fine, my legs didn't feel like they were going to give out on me. For the first time in my life, I felt like a runner! I've been on a runner's high ever since I finished. I just can't believe that 5 weeks ago, I thought I was going to die running 60 seconds, and now I can run 8 minutes at a time?!? Wow. That's not to say that there weren't a couple of difficult moments. My trick for this run was to force myself to think of something besides running...I planned meals for next week, made a mental to-do list, thought of some things that upset me a little at work this week (which made me run faster! =) It also helped that I wasn't pushing my approximately 27 pound running buddy and his 10 pound stroller. I think I'm going to try to finish the program by myself, and then gradually work on running with him. Right now, it's just too hard to do both!
I think the little man is either getting sick or getting more teeth. He's been a little fussy the last few nights, hasn't been sleeping well, has been chewing on his hands, and is a bit congested. Hopefully it's just teeth - our teething days SHOULD soon be over - right now he has more teeth than holes!
I'm off of work on Monday, and then we only have two school days left! Woohoo! I am very much looking forward to some time off!
