Not getting any younger.

It seems like the harder I try to get in shape the harder it is to work out. Not even on some, will I make it to the gym or have the motivation to work out, type of hard. More like, will my knees hold out til the end of this run or if I get down on this floor, will I be able to get back up on my own. WHEW! I just don't know what to do. I was good not too long ago and now all of a sudden I'm falling apart. I'm thinking, maybe I need to take a break. But a break might be how I got here in the first place.

Yesterday was the first day of this 8k in 8 weeks group that I joined. They had us running two sets of 10 minute jogs with a 3 min rest in between. I had a feeling that I would be bringing up the rear but I didn't think I wouldn't even be able to run the entire 20 minutes. Part of it may be my fault cause I forgot my knee straps. And part of the problem could be that LB and I ran pretty hard on Saturday. Every other day jogging might be a bit much.

It shouldn't be though. I was watching tv on Sunday and they had his show on about the IronMan. That might be the ultimate triathlon. A 2 mile swim and 120+ mile bike followed by a full marathon run. So I'm sitting on my fat ass, in my living room, on the couch feeling like poor me, I can't run. All the while in front of me on tv they have 79 yr olds, biggest losers and even a dude with NO LEGS doing the iron man!!! So what's my excuse now and why am I complaining? Exactly. Even in the 8k group there is a girl with a limp because she has one leg that's smaller than the other. She out jogged me. Probably didn't even break a sweat. It's crazy cause I feel like 2 months ago I was in so much better shape. I just don't know what happened.

I do know that I'm not getting any younger. Not working out really isn't an option. Neither is eating a whole bunch of junk. Got to do better if I wanna be able to keep up.

On a side note and completely unrelated subject. I made pizza this weekend. Got the idea from LB. It actually came out pretty decent and I didn't even have to cook anything. All I had to do was buy some dough and toppings. Then put it all together with some Prego and throw it on the grill. Will definitely be trying that one again.
