Week 3...

Hi Ladies!
We've come to the end of week 3 and I have to say I am extremely proud of us! I was on a roll last week and had gotten up to 3.8 miles, but this week I was sidelined with an injury... :(

I've been cross-training with tennis workouts since I'm in the middle of a season with my team (God, PLEASE don't let us make the playoffs!!!!) and I think I pulled or strained (or just generally pissed off) a muscle. So, needless to say I've been resting the injury this week. I got a short 2.5 miles run in on Wednesday and I have a match tomorrow, but that's been about it for this week. I am getting back on it on Tuesday (I'm going to need a couple days to recover after my match tomorrow)come hell or high water!! IT'S ON!!!

***And now, for your reading pleasure, I present...a conversation between me and my body earlier this week:

SONIA: OK y'all, we are going to get 4 miles in today! We are strong, we are motivated and WE CAN DO THIS!!!
MUSCLES (to JOINTS): Wait...what did she say?!
JOINTS (to MUSCLES): I don't know why you listen to her...we Joints just do what we want anyway!
MUSCLES: Wait...is she starting?! OK...we need to present a united front! EVERYBODY PROTEST!!!!!
JOINTS: OK...THAT AIN'T WORKING!!!! She's still running! What the hell is her problem?!
MUSCLES: I'll tell you what her problem is...SHE IS STRAIGHT TRIPPIN'!!! Ok, we're going to have to pull out the big dogs....Ass, you're officially on strike. Pack it up and go home!
SONIA: AAAAAAAAAAH!! SONUVAMUTHA#@$%^&!!! What the hell was THAT?! (Simultaneously pushing the biggest red "STOP" button I can find on the treadmill and sighing) ...I'm too old for this sh*t!!
