Moving along nicely

Week 2 is done. Moving into week 3 on Tuesday. Things are still moving along well. Today was a tough run because I'm supposed to go slow - painfully slow! The purpose of going slow (approx. 65-70% of my Max Heart Rate) is to get my body out running for a long period of time. To adapt it to being used to running for quite a while. As much as it was tough to run that slow and not push myself harder, it was enjoyable as well. It really reminded me how great it is to have that time to yourself, and your thoughts.
Whether you are walking, running, canoeing, roller blading... When you're active and have that time for YOU and only YOU, you can let your mind take over and just think about things. It's great! :o)

Week 3's goal for me is to work in my second day of resistance training. My hard part is working 2 days of that in without being sore for running or soccer. But I'm sure I can. I did one day last week just to experiment with it, so an extra day shouldn't be an issue this coming week. :o)
