Taking it down a notch

Today was the first day I ran 3 miles on purpose and without the idea that I'd run more tomorrow. I've really think that running so much maybe isn't all that great for me. I certainly isn't helping with weight! But I'm also so tired all the time and, frankly, running has become more of a job lately. And I really do like it, so I don't want to make it a burden. So 3 miles it is, at least for now. And maybe I'll slip in one long run per weekend. And my pace was good today. Ten minute miles across the three miles. Best in quite some time. I suppose the longer I run, the more I slow down. Then I went to pilates tonight. I was glad I committed, or I would not have gone. It's cold and I'm tired! But I went and it was good. I'm positive I'll feel it tomorrow!

Good morning. Yes, I agree that it's possible to get too much of a good thing. Runner's World agrees, too. So better to back off for a while and the joy return!

I did my usual 3 miles this morning and my exercises. -2 here right now at 8 am!!! And this is the day I've chosen to go get our tree!!

I've lost my Thanksgiving weight so am very glad about that.

Yep, they do agree. Breaks are good!

-2! That's nuts! Wow, I can't believe it. Did you go get your tree?

Good for you on your TG weight! Bring on the cookies!
