Adventures with Trish and the Mountain.
Okay so yesterday I came home from work and thought instead of just sitting around until I needed to make dinner I figured I would just go on a run. Now let me tell you doing this at 3:30 in the afternoon when it is 104, yes that's right 104, degrees outside and there is smoke covering the whole state of Utah...well I'm not sure it was one of my more brilliant ideas. I also do not think it helps that I am just a "bit" over weight right now. Thus the reason for the run. Well I started out and in our neighborhood you are either going up hill or down. I chose to go up first, figured I'd get the hard part out of the way. Well I ran up the hill at the top of our street and when I got to the top I'm sure my heart rate was far to high, but if I stopped I would have probably had to take a break and if I did that I'm not sure I would have kept going up. That and half way up there is a fence I had to jump. Well I got to the top and took off up the next hill. Once I got to the top of that hill I knew it was all down hill from there so I took a breather and a drink. And then headed down. Now at this point I am 10 minutes into my mountain climbing run when I feel, suddenly, like I'm going to puke. I may have been fairly ambitious about my run...but I used to run it all the time in high school so I didn't think it would kick my butt so bad....Wow was I wrong. I didn't throw up but I still had a 10 minute run back down the mountain and then back up the street I live on. I walked inside and collapsed onto the couch. Man I was glad that was over. When Michael came home he still needed to go to the gym, so I thought to myself 'how else can I try to kill myself today?' yes people that's right I went to the gym. What am I crazy?...I guess so. I did the elliptical for 25minutes, which after my run felt like nothing, then did abs for 20 minutes. Then what did I do yes that's right I ran. For another 10 minutes. Needless to say my adventures at the gym and on the mountain have made it so I can barely move today. To even lift my leg to walk hurts. Only 20 more days to make it a habit. Woohoo. Well back to work.

Keep it up!
Hope you recover quick. Nothing's more frustrating than breaking a plan because the plan's killing you.
Yeah, ever heard of overkill? That's a great way to break the exercise streak:)
Wow, good for you. I don't think I will ever be that ambitious.
