School ended almost 3 weeks ago and summer started and ever since then, for the past 2 weeks the C25K has been put on the back burner. The kids being home and not having to wake to an alarm clock (at least the 1st week no alarm clock needed) threw my all off! I was so used to setting the alarm to get Tristan off to school and then running the C25K after he left and before waking up the younger two that when I no longer needed to be awake……well….it didn’t happen.

Last week I needed to set my alarm to get up early to take Caelie and her friend teammate to USF soccer camp…but that still didn’t get me motivated enough to get up early enough to run first. Maybe I needed the 2 week break mentally? Yeah…..we’ll go with that! I did keep up with my sit-ups and push-ups on an almost daily basis – missing maybe 1 day a week if that. So I’m still up to 200 sit-ups a day and now up to 32 push-ups. And when it comes to the C25K I am at week 8 day 1 – which meant I had to run (jogs more like it) for 28 minutes straight. And….even after taking a 2 week break I was still able to do it!!! Go me!

The real C25K test will be when we are at my parents and they don’t have a treadmill so I will have to run outside! Ack!
