Busy day...again!

Well, another busy day. I learned a valuable lesson yesterday and that was do not go to the gym after 3:30 on a week day. I walked in and saw it was just plum full of meat heads doing the things I wanted to do. So I left. Meaning I had to find a way to fit in my run, weights, and hills today. But, good news: success! I was surprised that I was out of bed with my alarm this am. Because I really didn't sleep. But I was so I took advantage of it. I did my prescribed 4 mile run. I tried to go fast, but I was out of gas from the start. So I just did my best. And it wasn't bad. Then I got right in my car and went straight to the gym! I lifted weights for about 20 minutes. Did all the things I wanted. Then I got to work on time! CRAZY!! Then I ran hills at lunch. Tonight I'm having my last half of a pork chop with peach salsa. So delicious.

By the way, I finally put together my training schedule today. And I'm very glad I did - I was a week off. A week behind! The good news is that last week's long run was supposed to be 8 miles. I did 12, which is good because I'm already behind!

Good morning. Another lesson learned! Good to know about the busy times at the gym. Glad to hear you got it all done though.

I ran 2 again this morning and then did 1/2 of my push ups and sit ups. Wow, am I out of shape after a 3 month layoff! Amazing and scary. I woke up at 5 am today for no reason whatsoever. I didn't get up until 6 though. Didn't really feel like getting out there to do anything but am very glad I did now. And I will continue.

I have been wearing my orthotics full time since Monday morning and I believe that is helping my achilles tendon in the left heel! Do you suppose that podiatrist does know what she is talking about? I still have some discomfort there but it's better than it was and didn't bother nearly so much on my run this morning. Hmmm...

I'm glad you did it anyway. Often times I don't feel like it but I'm so happy I did it when I'm done.

Maybe she does! Well, dang, I hope this trend continues!

Are they hard? Or squishy?
