Swimming and Water Aerobics

So I have had my first week of school this week. I have my swimming and water aerobics classes. I can't believe how much i am out of shape for swimming I am. I am so excited for the classes to get in full swing because the water aerobics class is much more intense then at hagerman partially due to the water temperature. I never would have thought of doing tybo in water but that is what we are doing along with alot of other cardio type stuff. The only down side is I have burned everyday this week because I missed somewhere with the sunscreen. But I am going to enjoy the sunshine as long as we have it. Or at least until they put the bubble up and we no longer have the sunshine.

green canyon

So I went down to logan this weekend. On saturday we went walking/hiking in Green canyon. It was a nice refreshing walk I don't know how far we went but my legs are still sore which means that I didn't stretch enough and I am not used to inclines for that long of a time.

Wonderful Walk

This morning I woke up and walked over to the park behind our house. It has a nice path that goes around the perimeter of the park and I haven't really known the distance of the path until today. I took Craigs gps watch and found out it is about 1/4 mile around. I walked a distance of 3 miles. It was wonderful. I have really been struggling running and doing my workout video so this walk is perfect. I am going to try walking at least 3-4 miles a day to help me stay active.

New days new runs

So in Ohio Melissa and I went for a run and I convinced her to take the dogs with us. It was a fairly good run we only went a mile or so but it was nice to be able to run with the dogs and Melissa although I could have done without the Humidity.

Today Kathy and I went for a run we had Kade, Violet and Dixie with us so we didn't do the whole route that Erik suggested. We went up a lot of hills and down a few. Violet had to take a bathroom break and so Kade and I went around the church four times running full speed ahead or at least I did because I wanted to try and stay ahead of kade on his bike so I had to run pretty quickly so I definately got a pretty good wourk out. We then also did the squat jump things coming up the hill. I can't remember what it is called.

Slacking on the running

So lately I haven't been doing much running because I have been so tired but the last Friday Craig and I went on a three mile run and then yesterday I did the Slim in 6 video again. Talk about crazy. I woke up this morning so sore. I really need to be working harder so I don't blimp up if you know what I mean. Melis I am glad you and Teresa were able to run. Keep it up.

running behind

I'm not even sure when last I blogged my running. Traveling to Idaho really changed the schedule I was trying to stay on. Running at higher altitudes finally got easier jsut in time to head home. I went back to the week three run schedule and was able to do it. On the way home I jumped on treadmill in one of the hotels and actually ran 1.5 miles at an incline of 10% and a speed of 5.5. to 6. I only had to stop once and that was because my calf muscles got too tight. I stretched and then hopped back on to finish the run.
Since getting home all of my energy has been put into the new house but tonight Teresa and I went out running. We took Morgan(9 year old, overweight dog) and Norton(11 month puppy) running with us. Poor Morgan was so winded by time we got home. I'm happy to say I was able to outrun an out of shape dog. Is that something I should be proud of....

way behind no big suprise

So I was just looking at the blogs and realized that I haven't posted anything in the last month although I have been running some. So the month started with the Firecracker 5k/10k on July 2. I had decided that I would to the 5k after talking to Cynthia I realized that I could probably do the 10k but would enjoy the 5k better. Then after getting there was allowed myself to be talked into doing the 10k. The running of it wasn't bad. My feet went numb before the first mile was over and stayed that way until mile 5 or so. The worst part was I had to go to the bathroom so badly that I couldn't even run until I got back to campus as was able to use the restrooms there. I finished dead last but I finished in 1:33 minutes and some odd seconds. I was pretty stoaked about how I ran I even had enough energy to sprint to the finish line. For walking and running at my pace I think that I did pretty good. My goal is to run another one and finish with a better time along with running more of it.
The rest of the month I have ran a few times with Melissa. We ran down to the stop sign at the other Power Plant a couple of times and today we made it almost to the first stop sign but then her calves rebelled on her. So this is my month in review as far as exercising along with doing the kbell workout once with Melis. I will do better next month both with the workout and with posting my workouts.
