3 miles even though I was exhausted! (Jennifer)

I didnt sleep well last night at all.  I kept waking up throughout the night.  Then my 3 year old had a nightmare (I am guessing) this morning around 5:30ish.  I woke up to this awful scream and jumped out of bed so fast because it was such an awful scream.  I was shocked when I got into her room and she was pointing into the air screaming something about shoes?  For those of you who know my husband you are probably giggling because he is known for talking something fierce in his sleep.  In college Trish and I used to wait for him to fall asleep then go in and talk to him.   hahahahaha....the days....Of all the traits he could have passed...hehe. 

So this morning I was totally exhausted.  I am not really a coffee drinker but this morning I should have been!  We had plans to go to the gym.  So out we went and I just felt like I could not wake up.  But I didnt give myself a break.  Not only did I go to the gym but I got on the treadmill and decided to conquer my 3 mile run that I have only done once before.  I was hoping maybe it would even wake me up.  Well...it did :)  And I made it all the way again!  I think that is where I will stop for a while.  I will get comfortable with that run and then maybe alter some of the speeds.  Today I did it at 5.2 mph.  The last time I did it on 5.1.  Then I did my lower body workout and skipped the abs.  I have plans for zumba tonight and figured I deserved at least that break.  But really, my lower back has been bothering me and I wanted to see if taking a rest from the abs would help.  Which is a shame since as we all know I am constantly complaining about my midsection.

Thats all for now.  I hope you all are having a great day.

Great job! I also did 3 miles this morning. Not only was I tired and not feeling it, I have something that's causing a bit of pain when I move. But I did it anyways!

Tiredness must be in the air. I didn't sleep well last night either and am just exhausted today. The air was on so I wasn't hot, just didn't not stay asleep. I would LOVE to take a nap. Good for you on the 3 miles at 5.2,
that's fast. Next thing you know you'll be one of the women on the treadmill I often find myself saying... "I would love to be able to do that." Good job!! :)

Congrats on conquering the 3 miles at 5.2! I joined the gym this week and thought I was doing great on the treadmill at 2.5mph, then my trainer increased it to 3.0, then 3.6. Thought I was dying! But from your post, I see that probably he was being nice to me! =) Looks like I still got a long way to go!
