So happy the weather was nice for the 3 day weekend.  Saturday my honey had an appointment in the city with a personal trainer at the gym we belong to.  I didn’t go with him because we were way behind on housework I just couldn’t stand it any more.  Also, the lawn needed to be cut real bad.  He wont’ show me how to use the riding mower so I got our brush mower   my MP3 player and my HRM and proceeded to cut the front lawn.  Well, in 43 minutes I burned 259 calories.  Have a nasty blister on my right too but will survive.  Later that evening honey and I took our new doggy for a walk around the block and I did amother 165 calories on our 45 minute walk. 

Sunday I was up rather early and honey was sleeping cuz he worked Saturday night and didn’t get home till after 3 a.m.  I was a beautiful morning but it looked like it might rain later on and I was awake and energenic so I got dressed and was gonna do my walk/run around the 1.82 mile block.  I started my warm up walk which is up a hill mid-sized hill and when I got to the top started my jog at a slower pace than usual and instead of picking a spot to run to then walk I decided to just go as far as I could.  That ended up being approximatley .4 miles which is a lot for me to do at once on the road.  I actually ran more than I walked this time with the slower running pace.

Monday we finished up cutting the grass and did my trimming again with my HRM.  Later in the afternoon honey took a nap because he had to work again last night and I did a half hour on my Balance Board.  I wanted to do an hour but my legs were sore from my run so I listened to them and stopped.  Tuesday I just rested after work and was in bed by 10 p.m.

Today is supposed to be Spin but with the blister (which popped from trimming on Monday)  not sure how long I’ll last but I’m going to put a bandage on it and where my weight-lifting gloves.  I’m getting gel riding gloves this week because my hands sweat and hurt when I take my long hilly bike rides and they sweat alot spinning so this should keep them from feeling like they’re gonna slip off . 

I also noticed doing some things on Balance Board are easier than they used to be like things that require balance. 

My goal is to be able to jog at least half way around the block by the end of summer. I live in the hills so my block is actually a bunch of little inclines and dips where makes jogging in a bit more difficult so I will be really happy if I can half way around without walking by the end of summer.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
