UG!

Greetings from Omaha. Okay, I'll start off by telling you that the night before last I went to bed at 2:00am. Scheduling called at 4:15am with a killer trip for me, three 11 hour days (4 flights the first day and five flights each of the next two days), separated by two 13 hour overnights. I went to bed at 9:00pm last night! I had to get up at 4:45 today and will have to do the same tomorrow. For those of you who know me, and that is all of you, nuff' said. I went straight to my hotel room today at around 6:30 and got right into pjs. Then I went to get online and was unable to. Of course I needed to check on a CM order and my bank account (today is payday). The crew room with a free computer for us is on the first floor of the hotel...as is the gym. You see where I'm going with this. I changed into gym clothes and made my way down stairs. I started on the treadmill. After a brief walking warm-up, I forced my self to run an entire mile without stopping for walking breaks. This is a big deal for me and was not easy (or fun). My mile time was 12 mins which, I know is approx two times as long as it takes K & S. Still I don't think that's so bad for a beginner runner. What I want to know is, does it get easier? After cooling down, I did today's challenge. I did the lunges with a 5lb dumbell in each hand and I threw in the 20 push-ups just for kicks. I am beat and am sure will be cursing my soreness at 5:00am tomorrow. I would like to know how everyone else did with the lunges. It was very difficult for me to do that many without sacrificing my form. How about you? Nighty night.

I definately have trouble keeping my form but I can tell it's just something I have to work up to. Good job on the running, it has to get easier. There are so many people who say they love running, that it gives them a rush.
