He bailed on me and I got lost!!

I totally haven't stuck to the workout plan this week. But that's not to say I haven't worked out! In terms of strength... nada. But cardio... three times so far! So I started the Couch 2 5k running program. My husband, who used to be a long distance runner, usually runs it with me. But I know I'm holding him back. Sometimes, when we make it back home, he goes out again for another run. So yesterday, when I asked what time were we running that day, He's says, " You're going by yourself today. You can do it!!"....

Say what?

So after debating with myself on whether or not I was going to go... I went. I had my Ipod with my running podcast.. http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/podcasts/podcasts.html... I was good to go. I hardly ever drive through the back part of our neighborhood (we've lived in this area over a year now). I've never needed to. And I just follow my husband when we run, so I never pay attention. So I take off and I'm just running... looking so cute in my nike gear, twists pulled back.. couldn't tell me nothing. I was going to show my DH that I could do this!! Halfway through the run/podcast, I decide it's time to turn around and head back... but where was back? So I finished the rest of the run/podcast, thinking I'd be near the house by then... but nope! I circle the neighborhood like twice... I know those folks were like.. that black woman is so lost. I ended up finding this road I knew and walking UPHILL all the way back home. DH laughed and said, you didn't go the way I told you, did you. Granted I went the way he told me, I just forgot how to get back!

I'm paying attention on my run today!

Congrats on still going running without DH! lol on getting lost. Well at least you had your cool down period while walking around lost in the neighborhood.

When I first start running with my DH, I couldn't keep up either. Got left plenty of time. But now, I can keep up/ beat him on his worst day. I like pacing him because he make me improve my run. Now when he's on top of his game(good day), he smoke me everytime.
