jogging this weekend

July 20th, 2009 at 06:35 am

Saving log - $0 tip box
Spending log - $3.88 coffee, bagel + $4 grocery + $2 coffee (what? I was sleepy) + $1 parking lot sale
Found money - $.01 (sidewalk in front of Woodland Park Zoo) + $.01 (parking lot)

Did the three miles in 46 min 20 sec. While its not great, it was a minute and half better than last week. The trainer has a goal for me - 44 min. Its funny how if someone sets a goal for me, I work hard at it. If I try to set an exercise goal myself, somehow I treat it less seriously.

I also tried a different tack based on what I read

today. Lately, as I jog, its time to myself and I've been thinking sad thoughts this last month. Its not easy to jog particularly fast thinking sad thoughts. Today I thought, "its a beautiful day, I'm strong and healthy and every week I'm moving faster ... I'm not tired ... I'm feeling great."

And I harvested 10 blueberries. From 1-2 year old plants, its all the harvest I will get this year. Blueberry bushes apparently mature after about 4 years.

    I ran a marathon last November when I was woefully underprepared - had only ran 14 miles once beforehand - it was my brain/lack of negativity that kept my legs moving - I think believing that you can do something is half the battle to achieving it... don't get me wrong I felt like giving up at times, but then I just concentrated on putting one leg in front of the other...

    We planted blueberries too this year...one plant is doing well, the other is struggling... and they're right beside each other ! Ah well...

    Positive thinking can be very, very powerful. Good for you improving your time!
