Olive is the name of my FitBit Zip. Since she smiles at me to let me know how happy she is about my level of activity, I thought that she needed a name. Olive suits her nicely because of the green color of the clip.
Oh, Olive has had quite the day counting up all my steps. So far I've walked 18,269 at 18:00 since waking up at 05:25 today. I hit 5,000 by the time the tardy bell rang at school, and 10,000 a few minutes after lunch recess ended. The 15,000 occurred at the gym while I was running (second run of the day).
This afternoon I completed Week Two, Day Two on the treadmill. It was the same as this morning, but I was able to run through all the running parts and not skip any like I did this morning. Still, I am proud of myself! Considering that last Monday I was only thinking about starting to run and become a runner. Now, I am!
Time/Weather:
It is 83*F out right now, but it was a nice, warmish temperature in the gym. Arrived at the gym around 16:30 and was ready to go!
What Worked:
Knowing that I already did the C25K Week Two, Day One program this morning and that I surely would be able to do it again on the treadmill. Having water while running, and a fresh slather of chap stick was nice too! It was also fun to watch "Untold Stories of the ER" on the gym's TV (with captions!).
Also, a dozen trips to the printer at school helped rack up those steps!
What Didn't Work:
Nothing. Everything went well with my gym run. Except, that I forgot to write down my actual time and distances from the treadmill.
Motivation:
Keeping Olive smiling.
And,
tomorrow is a full rest day! Sleeping in and no gym.
