I did it !

I was up early and out the house at 6.45 and I did it......I ran the feared 5.5 Km village loop....Woo Hoo me !!!
I did it at a slightly slower pace just because I just wanted to be able to do it so a minute and a half slower than my normal 5Km,so still not too bad in my book.
My shoulder wasn't as sore and I think if it had been feeling normal I could have manged the 6.5 route I have mapped out...........another day :)
The light rain actually felt quite nice and I completely lucked out because as I hit my driveway it started to come down in bucket fulls !

Anyway this post was to say the good luck messages from Fridays post must have worked !

So with this rainy day ahead I think I'll get the kids to watch a movie with Grandma,while I try and sneak off to scrap.......I am missing it :(
Fingers crossed,although I have a feeling it will be another week or so before I really get to scrap again !

The week went where ?

I really don't know :)

• Adam's graduation ceremony.
• Last day of school celebrations.
• A midweek day off for Stuart thanks to St. Jean Baptiste which we used as a celebration for Adam finishing Elementary school so we went to see 'UP' which I really enjoyed and then home for a BBQ.
• The start of swimming lessons.
• Soccer.
• Birthday parties/sleepovers.
• All the other stuff that needs to be done !

Tomorrow hopefully Mum and I are going to have a day to ourselves so we might venture back to our old shopping ground of Westmount/NDG.

I made this page a week or so ago.......

I've been running for 6 weeks now and I miss it if I go for longer than 2 days without a run.Although I've aggravated my shoulder again,somehow,which means I'm not able to run as far as it gets sore towards the end.I think I should really have a week of cycling to give it a rest but I just really like the feeling of running over cycling !
I'm addicted ,it's insane :)
I've knocked nearly 2 minutes off my initial 5km run and I can definitely feel a difference in my general fitness level,which was really my main goal although the added bonus of a perkier bum can't be smirked at :)

I've set myself 2 goals.
One is to run the Terry Fox 5KM our town holds in September.
Two,manage a 7.5KM loop of my town,which is very up and down,focusing on the ups on the way home since I live at the top of a hill!! by Thanksgiving.

I've decided that a lot of this running business is mental ! I am now up to 6.5 KM and adding a little extra every run.I have plotted out a smaller 5Km loop through the town but in my head that still seems further than the area I run now,maybe because at the moment I run so far then turn back on myself to come home......Anyway physically I should be able to do it,it's the long uphill run home that's scaring me ! So Monday I'm going to try it.....the worse that can happen is I have to walk it !

Have a good weekend and I'll try to be better blogger next week.
