Week 2 Begins

Week one wasn't an epic fail but I wouldn't exactly call it a rousing success either.  Regardless, I'm still proud of myself.
Mon - Up at 6, ran a mile, stretched, went to work and watched a softball game.
Tues -  Up at 6 to get to work early.  No work strength training.  I know it was only Tues but I needed a mental holiday.
Wed - Up at 6, ran a mile, stretched, went to work and then did a bit of shopping.
Thurs -  I slept in until 8, went to work and stayed up way too late as Eron packed.
Fri - I slept in until 8.  I was beat.  I forgave myself for not running.
Sat - Slept in, did some shopping, laundry and cleaning.
Sun - Up at 9.  Sunday is the day of rest. So that's what I did.

This week will hopefully be a little better, though, I'm not off to a great start. I slept like poo last night.  I tossed around the idea of skipping my run and putting it off until tomorrow but as I thought about it I realized it was a bad idea.  If I got up to run tomorrow then I'd be running Tues, Thurs and Sat and I fully intend to be slightly hung over on Sat.  It's my 5 year anniversary on Friday.  I plan on celebrating.  Truth. 

So this is what this week should look like...
Mon - Up at 6, run a mile, softball game at 6:30, dinner, bed.
Tues - Up at 6 to get to work early.  Strength training, early to bed.
Wed - Up at 6, run a mile, softball game at 6:30, dinner, bed.
Thurs - Sleeping til 8, grocery shopping after work and prep for dinner on Fri, early to bed
Fri - Up at 6 run a mile, WFH, finish prep for anniversary dinner....
Sat - Up at some time to get to the spa at 12 for a massage, lovely dinner with my love
Sun - Sleep in!  Rest, do laundry.

I know, not a spectacular training week but I think the routine is important.  Remember, I'm not diving into the deep end here.  I'm wading in slowly. 

Did I mention that I slept like poo last night?  My run reflected it.  I felt sluggish but ultmately glad that I got out there.  I said I going to post last weeks run.  I didn't get around to it.  My ipod, computer and ipod cord were never in the same place at the same time for that to happen.  Maybe I'll get around to it tonight.  Maybe not... Wish me luck this week.
