I've Been BAD!!!!!

It's been kind of hard training after work; it's always raining. I read somewhere that it takes 4 weeks of inactivity to undo training, so, I'm still OK. But, I could tell during today's run that I'm not as well conditioned as I should be. So, even if it rains, I need to hit the treadmill (boo, hiss!). Plus my feet are starting to hurt, perhaps I need new shoes??? (Wayne question) My right knee felt a little funny during the last mile. I had to stop & walk for a bit.

I took a sample Praxis exam & did OK. It's been years since I've dealt with proper grammar, algebraic equations, & geometry. Will was looking over my shoulder on the math part (he scored perfectly, btw). Reading comprehension is one of my strengths. It looks like the ACT/PSAT all over again!

My tomato plants are starting to produce! They need weeding badly. When the monsoon passes, that will be an XT activity. :) Not to mention mowing the yard.

Happy Training Everyone!!! :)

Don't be so hard on yourself. You looked great out there today. Four weeks of inactivity? Try about ten weeks of inactivity ad then ride a bicycle for 9+ miles! I'm proud of you and your hard work! Congrats on the sample test! And save me a fresh tomato!

No doubt what Kayra said. 5:1???!!!! That's awesome. You are strong girl. And yes, you DEFINITELY need new shoes. Fleet Feet told me that your body will tell you when you need new shoes. I think your body is talking. Congrats on the test! You are going to be an awesome teacher!
