New Goal

I have a new goal and I am almost halfway there.  My goal is to run a minimum of 3 miles per day, every day, for 3 weeks.  I am trying to be more consistant with my running. I use to tend to procrastinate alot and not make exercise a big enough priority in my life.
So I figure 3 weeks of doing something every day will make it a habit.
Yesterday was the first day that gave me a problem.  My back was extremely sore even though I had taken ibprofen before I started.  I thought I would have to cut my run short and walk instead but I somehow managed to go the distance.
Today was the first time my legs felt tired and thats unusual because I have very strong legs.  This was another day in which I thought I would have to cut my run short.  My legs felt like lead but I still managed to go the distance again.  I have felt tired all day.  My neighbors came over to talk and I nearly fell asleep on them.
After my run, I took care of a few orders I sold on ebay and then it dawned on me that this is saturday and I have the whole weekend to get my work done, so I quit and came inside, had supper and watched tv.
I think I will hit the sack earlier tonite, maybe I am not getting enough sleep. Let's see if that works.

Hugs

What a great goal! Are you getting the proper foods to fuel you runs! Our bodies just like automobiles can not operate with out fuel!

Reading this makes me want to exercise. Wondering if I have time for that. Maybe I could go for dog walks :)
