It is 7:30 in the morning, and I am in a huge rush. My hair is still wet, I just finished breakfast, and I need to be out the door in about twelve minutes. Today on the agenda, I teach at 8, work from 9-1, have two glorious hours in which to eat lunch and work on a paper (due Friday, that I haven't started), teach from 3:30-5, then drive to Blackfoot for class from 6-9. Sadly, this is actually an easier day than yesterday, which started at 7 and ended about 11:00. Ick.
Anyway, this isn't supposed to be a complaint session, and, in fact, I feel pretty excited to be doing everything today. I just wanted to quickly update on my exercise routine so ya'll don't think I forgot.
I have lost about ten pounds (although I have been working out more this week than usual, and I think the increased muscle is making my weight go up again). Today I did the second part of week 5 of my c25k, which totaled running about 1 1/3 miles. It was difficult but not impossible. Friday I have my next real test, as I get to run for 20 minutes with no break. Four weeks ago I would have said no way. As it is, I think I can do it. I'm making sure to take breaks every other day, and I've been doing a lot of other stuff, including bicycling, walking, stretching, Pilates, etc. My muscles are usually tired, but they never hurt, and I haven't really been sore, so that's nice. I am hoping that I'm on track to be able to run a 5k sometime in May.
That is all. Loves!

Time in my office
4:33 on a Friday afternoon, and I have nowhere better to be than my office on campus.
Pathetic, no?
Steve is at work until 8 tonight, and my rehearsal starts at 6. So I am just waiting. I should be doing homework, but I don't want to. Instead, I am bumming around the internet. Silly. Not productive. But a little satisfying.
I finished the third week of my C25K program yesterday. I ran the first two days of it outside, which was really nice in some ways and terrible in others. I got much less bored outside than I do on my treadmill. But I had a difficult time controlling my speed. When I tested it on my treadmill yesterday, I found out I'd run .25 miles more outside than I do on my treadmill. I am not sore, which is nice. I am pretty nervous about starting week 4 next week, because it is much harder. But I need to get this together, because my friend is going to be in Utah in May, and we are going to try to run something together.
In other news, I am attempting to pick a textbook for my students for next semester. It is not so easy. I'm just not 100% happy with any of my available options.
The end.
