And Chris was down and out for two days; a Sunday night, the 4th, with a tummy problem and a Wednesday, the 6th, with fevers and exhaustion. He looks really peakid and pale.
The last time we blogged was on Thursday, October 24th - the day I got the flu vaccine in mist form. Well, Saturday we were all supposed to run a 5K on Patch. I was feeling really weak and started having cold symptoms, so I bowed out. But Kelsey and Chris ran together. Kel dressed as Wonder Woman and Chris wore a skeleton mask and his "Have Fun Stormin' the Castle" shirt. A good time was had by all. They finished a little over 48 minutes. Way to go, Kel!
Here's a pic from the 5K of Chris and Kelsey all dressed up.
We haven't done a CrossFit work out since that week. But we hope to begin soon. We should be feeling up to it by Monday, the 11th. I have been running pretty regularly. Last week I ran 3 times, putting in 2, 3 milers and 1, 5 miler on Saturday with Chris. My times have been really slow. I'd really like to get to 10 minute miles or 30 min 5K by the end of this month. Wish me luck! Right now I'm running 11-11:30 miles. So far this week I've run 2, 3 milers. I want to get in a 3 miler tomorrow and a 4 for Saturday. Chris and I have also done Yoga a few times in the past couple weeks.
Well, what does all this mean? It means we need to re-group a bit, re-evaluate our goals, and get a plan for the next week. Speaking of goals, I haven't lost a single pound. I'm still exactly at 200. But I'm also not keeping a food journal or doing two work-outs a day. Hopefully, I'll get on track with my goals.
Here's the quote for the day:
The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras
Keep at it, it is the hardest thing we have to do, but I know you and Chris can do it !
