Wow, so it's been just over two weeks since I've blogged, probably about the same that I've run. It's tax time, so super duper fun! ... So I've been working over time. Honestly part of me was saying that I'd rather stay late than work through my lunch, missing my run, but yeah, not so much. Especially when there was every possibility that I would need to stay late anyway.

So, I did 5k at lunch! I wont even tell you how long it took. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't without stopping. I would say walking too, but honestly I had to switch treadmills because I paused the first one to get paper towels to wipe up my not small amount of sweat but couldn't turn it back on again. Pft. So I moved to the second one (I was at 2.39km of 5) to finish off... well this one wouldn't let you slow down! So when I needed to slow down I had to stop it and restart it. Le sigh. All in all, it did not make for a good run.

Oh, and I finally got my heart rate monitor up and running! Woot! After going to many different stores to try and find the correct watch battery I finally wore it today. My heart rate got up to 190. Oops. That's pretty high even for me. In the heat of summer I tend to get up to around 185... but that's about it, certainly not indoors on a treadmill. I hate how quickly you lose your progress running if you can't run for a few weeks. Oh well.

The plan is to run every day this week. I'm aiming... if I can get my butt out of bed, to go for a run tomorrow morning. We shall see if I actually manage it.

Ah, that brings me to my last point at the moment, supposedly I burned 523 calories during my run! Granted it was about 490 before I walked to the changeroom, and this includes me changing machines and whatnot, but still, wow, what a burn! I'm going to be calling it 400 as I usually try and aim lower if I'm counting these things.
