Run With Dogs : Easing Back Into It

Easing Back Into It

Posted by: Audrey Post date: May 22nd, 2008

Nice easy start to the week, as I make myself get back into some sort of exercise routine. I’ve been feeling a bit out of the loop since the half marathon and have been pretty unmotivated, what with my sore legs and the cold mornings. Monday saw me spend half an hour on the elliptical trainer, while the kidlets actually did their mathematics without fuss or fighting. They’ve been so good lately, I’m thinking about taking them to a doctor.

On Tuesday I took Guinness and the kidlets on bikes out for a 10k run around my usual route. It was slow, and there were a few stops, but Guinness was really good on his head halter. He’s learning not to pee on every tree he passes, and he no longer drops to the ground in front of me to rub the halter off. Anyway, I had no discomfort at all during the run, legs felt really good, it actually felt weird. I’m so used to some soreness that it felt totally different to feel nothing. Not that I’m complaining :smile: .

I’ve had a couple of tours of Fernwood at Petrie, it’s a stunning setup, absolutely spotless and really well laid out. Their casual monthly membership works out at around $100 per month. That’s a lotta lotta dosh. Given that the newspaper has just mentioned another likely interest rate hike, I don’t think I’ll be taking them up on it!

Nothing really interesting happening otherwise. Running club tonight, gym tomorrow then we’re making flowers for the local Sorry Day ceremony which is on Monday. Working Saturday then Sunday morning is the Caloundra Foreshore Fun Run. That’ll be nice, but we’ll have to be up there early, and it’ll be freezing!!!

It has been cold in the mornings down this end of the country too!

$100 is a lot – I remember when I didn’t have a mortgage and I had DISPOSABLE INCOME! Oh, it was so fun, buying things, doing stuff…
Sounds like Guiness is doing really well- makes such a difference when you don’t stop start the whole time.
