2nd Week is a bad week

I like to own up to my successes and failures. Last week, I hate to call a failure but...not a real success. I know that as a mother of a child that their needs come first, that is without question. As you will find out when you rank and order all your priorities, exercise/training definitely gets put to last place. Well, it wasn't horrible I was able to walk/jog 3 times last week. I on Tuesday was able to get in 3 miles and feel good. However the rest of the week went downhill. I got in 2 miles on Thursday and Friday however, not at the best pace. I figure at this point, some is better than none. Then the rest of the weekend was spent inside with a less than healthy little one and therefore no walks/runs occurred.

If the weather permits this week I am aiming for jogging(my version of running) 2 miles at least twice this week. I think if I can get that jump start it will help. My pace is strong when I am focused, its just challenging when I have setbacks.

I need to also use my treadmill-its a great tool that I always do not take advantage of and will try to use this week if the weather does not co-operate.

I am also focusing on healthier eating, I have gotten very lazy over the weekend and just don't feel healthy, I need to ensure that I am eating healthy as well to make my body perform.

Off to a better week is the goal!

Goals for the week are:
Tuesday-2 miles (jog)
Wednesday-3.5 mile walk
Thursday-2 mile (jog)
Friday-3 mile walk
Sat or Sunday- 5 miles-Walk/Run

I need to get that distance in ASAP. This weekend is Dam to Dam which I wish I had trained for however, reality is with school and work that I could not do it.

I am aiming for the Des Moines Marathon this year as my local goal! Let's hope all goes fairly well.

Have a good week-happy fitness!
