:hyper: :yay: :wiggle: Whoa!! You are really at it on the treadmill. KUTGW!

no running tonite.. :)
Mom was over and she wanted to go to walmart.. so we went shopping and afterwards met up with the inlaws for dinner..
since they were out of town this past weekend, we treated them to mother's day dinner at ryan's...
I didn't overeat... but I always HATE eating out when I can't account for my food intake... makes me feel sooo guilty

another 4 miles tonite...
400 calories burned...
not sure why my calories seem to be decreasing... but I think it's because my weight is dropping a little....
I know the more weight you carry, the more calories you burn... and as you drop in weight, the harder you have to work at it to burn the calories..
DH went 3.75 miles tonite and burned 600 CALORIES :eek: :eek: :eek:
that is just insane :lol:

I noticed that too. The smaller you are the less you burn. It makes sense but it's just not right.:p Then, as you become fitter (even at the same weight) you naturally burn less calories for the same activities. The body is a funny thing.

Anyhow, congrats on another 4 miles.

no distance Friday or Saturday
Friday was a full day... started with the IT Picnic and ended with Ihop following 2 drive in movies at almost 3am...
Saturday we were both so exhausted we ended up sleeping most of the day
got so much rest yesterday tho that I was up early this morning and went for 4.03 miles (the 0.03 miles was so I can get 400 calories burned)

I took Mike's advice to heart and decided to see why i DID feel obligated to stop after 0.2-0.4 miles... well, the more I went, I realized that I didn't really have a good reason to stop other than psyching myself up to just go that little bit more... so I stopped looking at the distance and focused on the time... and told myself I was going to run for 7 minutes and try to figure out what exactly was hurting and making me stop... well, by the 7th minute, I realized that I really didn't have that good of a reason and I was fine to keep going...
Ended it with a 5 minute run/jog and I was perfectly fine... but as I was getting to the close of my goal (of a specific time or distance) it got harder and harder and I found myself staring at the countdown to see how much longer I had...
Which in all my ramblings, I think is just telling me that my limited running ability might be mostly mental instead of physical...
hmmmmmmmmm
