Week of September 16

Sunday:  7 miles was my goal; I completed it, though I can't say I ran the whole way.  I'd say I ran a 2 mile stretch, two 1 mile stretches, and then intermittent sections of running and walking.  It was a tad warm, I felt tired and humbled by how frickin' long 7 miles is, and think I need to either ramp up my other exercise during the week, especially strength training, or cut back a bit on the miles until I can do that.  It's interesting how physical exertion is a good deal mental, and mental exertion feels a good deal physical.  Guess the mind and body are connected after all ;)

Done:
Monday:  20 min walk (thank goodness I park off campus some days and can count that as exercise, esp. carrying all the bags I carry to and from the office)
Tuesday: 30 min run plus a little walking on either side
Wednesday:  Golf.  Big swings.  Did okay, but my hands hurt!
Thursday:  20 min walk (again, doing more campus walking, but this time across from East to West campus--nice day, bad shoes)
Friday: 5 min walk / 32 min run / 10 min walk
I'm noticing I'm not getting strength training in.  Tomorrow? I've got to get some yoga in!
Saturday: off today.  My yoga teacher got married yesterday; she had a great (though windy) day for it)
