30:25

30:25 - That's my 5K time for today. I ran it on the treadmill at 1% incline. For the Tracker 5K challenge, I started out at 33:25, so I'm kind of happy that the new time is a 3 minutes improvement. Thank God I reached the 5K milestone when I did because I was wearing the wrong socks and I could feel the early stage of a blister developing!

I feel like I reverted with my running. I was on a roll a couple of months ago, averaging 5 miles running outside. Then, I don't know what happened! I'm struggling just to run on the treadmill! Anyways, I'm going to look at this in a positive light. It just means there's more room for progress. On a good note - shins and knees feel fine!

This week has just been one roadblock after another for getting my workout done. First, it was mom's illness, then Lion King (good thing though), then just tiredness. And work on top of everything else!

Then today, I almost didn't get my workout done. I came into work early with the intent of going to the gym first thing in the morning. Well, when I got to the office there were already 2 people in and they were talking right outside my office. Of all things, they were talking about how some people take too much personal time off, take extra long lunch breaks, etc. Well, do you think I was going to walk out there, lugging my huge gym bag, and go to the gym? I don't think so! Anyways, I was able to "sneak out" after lunch to do HIIT/5K run on the treadmill, UBWO, and abs. Finally! This week is not turning into a complete disaster after all!

I know, most of it's my fault and I'm just making excuses. I hate it when I do that! I need to focus, toughen up, and just do it!

Have a great weekend everyone!
