Sorry I'm a little behind on blogging, but things have been very busy. I did do a walk/run on Tuesday and I did 1.32 miles in thirty minutes. I thought this was pretty good considering the week before it took me 35 min. to walk one mile. Also, a friend of mine taught me how to stretch out the front of my legs so they feel much better. I was surprised that my hip starting cramping on me while walking, but as soon as I started to run, it went away. When I got home from the walk/run, I stretched and made a protein shake with almond milk and 1/2 of a banana and I iced my knee. I think this might also be helping muscle recovery. By the way, I'm completely addicted to almond milk. I love it in cereal, oatmeal, baking and shakes. I just thought I would share that info.
Yesterday was a day off, but it was still very exciting. I had the opportunity to meet Governor Mitt Romney and sit right next to him during what is viewed as his campaign kick-off in Connecticut. Regardless of political affiliation, it is very cool to meet someone, who could potentially, be the next President of the United States. I wish I had started working out sooner. UGH! If one camera adds 10 lbs, how many lbs. do many, many cameras add? Holy guacamole this isn't good.
Unfortunately, today will also be a day off. Tonight is a meeting on the portion of the budget that I am the Chairperson for, so I can't be tired and rubbing my legs. Tomorrow, I'll be hitting the streets again and I think I'll do the 1.32 miles again. It's funny that I keep telling people about what I'm doing and one friend started walking and another friend is going to start running again. We'll see if this snowballs.
One more thing, in case you didn't notice, there is a place on the blog to donate to LLS. Please consider giving a few bucks. After all, I am working my hiney off........or at least I hope I am.
