The Day After

I thought that I would be really sore today, but it really was not that bad. I think my abs hurt the most from the workout after the run. I had to take an over eager Rebel on a walk/jog, because he did not get to go yesterday. He is definitely the best motivator to get me off my bum and out the door. There was talk of training for a 5K around work. I think that it would be a fun thing to do. I will keep you posted. Next week is Relay for Life so I will be doing a lot of walking that night. Tomorrow I will probably go on what I have started calling, a puppy run. I will try to run further then I usually do, because I think that my body is getting used to doing the same thing all the time. Weights are in tomorrow's workout plan too!

Success, Kind Of!

So it started raining, and we had to run inside. I did better then I thought I would. I ran one mile and a half, and I had to stop because I got a side stitch. Inside on the track 8 loops is a mile so I ran 12 loops, and walked two, and then worked out the rest of the time on a spin bike. I think I am going to pace myself better next time, and try to make it all 16 loops. She is training for the marathon, and eventually has to get up to 20 miles. I told her that I would try to train with her. I would like to see how far I can push myself. I think the side stitch happened because I stopped to drink water out of the tempting water fountain. Next time I will try my running friends trick. She keeps gum in the back of her mouth, because it keeps your mouth from getting dry. First I heard of it, but it sounds like a plan, as long as I don't try to chew it and put a hole in my tongue.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into??

So today was an excellent day to start this blog, because tomorrow yours truly is supposed to go on a two mile run. Not only am I supposed to go on a two mile run, but I am running with someone training for a marathon in Chicago. I work with her and she wants me to go after work, no big deal. Well I have been going up my street and back down with my running buddy, Rebel, (he is the 15 pound little love next to my heels in the picture) for about three months now. Before I was running on the treadmill every morning and lifting weights. So today I took Rebel, and a pedometer, and set out to see just how far I was actually running. Well friends I am sad to say it was just a little over a half a mile. So that being said I am a little nervous about attempting two miles tomorrow. I am going to attempt it, because I have already committed. I am up for the challenge, wish me luck. I will be letting you know how it goes.

From High Heels to Rolling Hills is born!

I just wanted to take a minute, and explain the title of my blog. I am a prissy girl and I dress up in dresses and heels everyday. My job requires dressy clothes. I love high heels, so I am always wearing really tall ones. Immediately when I come home I kick them off, put on some running shoes, and take off. I live in the mountains thus, From High Heels to Rolling Hills is born! I look forward to sharing my fitness and diet journey with you.
