Quick Run

I just ran 20 minutes today.  Quick.  But I'm really glad I did it.

Back At It

Did my 3 miles and 50/50 on the exercises.  Then I got on the scale and had the bejeebers scared out of me.

Right Foot and Run Report

It's been 5 days I think since I hurt my right foot but this morning now it felt fine so I did my full  3 miles on the TM without problem.  Well, except for the fact that it felt like I had taken a month off instead of only 5 days.  But I got it done and the foot is still fine so I'm glad for that.  Also did my pushups and situps so back in the swing here.

Walking

This morning I finally got on the TM but walked for 30 minutes instead of running.  Right foot is certainly better than it was but I can still feel some discomfort there.  Walking went fine so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

More stuff and things!

First, I've done an amazing job not going cookie insane.  I pat myself on the back!

Today you already know what I did!  I was on the treadmill for 30 minutes.  5 minutes at 6 incline/4 pace.  Then 5 minutes at 1 incline/5.3 pace.  I alternated that and it was really quite enjoyable!

You know what I did!

Two + miles.  Well, I ran for 30 minutes.  It was good!  My book is good!  And it was WARM!

My Right Foot

I'm only posting here so I will have some documentation down the road.  I injured my right foot somehow on Wednesday 12/18/13.  Not sure how this happened but might have been while pushing a van out of a ditch.  The guy was delivering a hospital bed here but went to Kutneys by mistake and got stuck turning around in their driveway.  Anyway, there is a very tender spot on the top of my right foot right where the foot meets the ankle on the right side.  Very tender to the touch and has me limping.  It does loosen up during the day but not enough so that I'm comfortable running on it.  Didn't run yesterday or today so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Hills!

Treadmill hills!  Today I used your treadmill to do hills.  I did 20 minutes at a 6% incline and 10 minutes at a 7% incline.  Pace was 3.9 (I think!).  I've been listening to a good fantasy series, so that kept me going.

Also used your weights and did some situps.

Thanks for the PW Deloach Gym membership!

I did it!

Hello, I'm here!  And happy to be here!

Two miles today.  I was going to do 3 but I just got going too fast and wore out.  More tomorrow though!

Thanks for bringing me home!

Hills!

My final San Diego run for two weeks!  Went over to Texas and ran it 3 times.  Wasn't super into it but it needed to be done.

Scales.  Why did I get on it?!

Good Morning

I got up and did my 3 miles and exercises this morning although I really, really thought about just rolling over and staying in bed.  But I had chocolate cake last night for Handsome's birthday so figured I better work some of it off at least.

See you tomorrow!

Good Morning

Home again and on the TM this morning for my usual 3 miles.  Also did all the exercises today which I have neglected since Wednesday!  I see you have been faithfully keeping the fires burning here!  Good for you.

Good run

Better pace today, too!  Not where I want to be but such is life!

San Diego Christmas tomorrow!  Whoops. Today!

3 hills

Another day, another three hills!  I almost talked myself out of it but I'm glad I was unsuccessful in that endeavor! It was a good day for hills.  A little cooler.  And it was shady by the time I went out.

I still have not weighed myself.  It's been like two weeks now!  I need to stop this because then it becomes this big deal.

Good Run!

Today was another good run!  Slow (as is my usual) but that's ok.  I'll get my pace back on your treadmill!

Nice day here today.  Perfect for running.

Now I'm turning off this computer!

3 miles

Really good run today. I have no idea why some days are like that. I wish they all were!

I just realized, we should start training for the half!  Do you have a plan and know when you will start?  I don't. Maybe I'll work something out tomorrow. 

Monday, December 09, 2013

Oh, hello hills!

I really didn't feel great yesterday, so I did not run.  But I'm feeling good today so I went over to Texas and ran it 3 times!  It has been awhile so I told myself I just needed to do two.  But I got the two done and then thought, "I know I can do another."  So I did!

Sunday Run

I got up and ran 3 on the TM during the time of the first service at PLC.  So there are some nice things about being retired I guess.  Still seems very odd though.  Anyway, did my run and exercises and now waiting to go to Milltown Lutheran for their 10:30 service.  We haven't visited there yet.  Mom is hoping to go, too.

3 Miles

And no frostbite!  I did get a run in today which I'm really glad about.  It helped with my pre-recital nerves!

Good Morning

-11 here this morning so, needless to say, I ran my 3 miles on the TM.  Also did the pushups and situps.

Not sure about tomorrow.  I'm volunteering a day of painting for Mike and Dana Bussewitz in the house they've bought in Osceola and the work party begins at 8:30 am.  I do know I'm not getting up at 5:30 just to get a run in!

Did it again! / 3 miles

Boy, someday I really need to get new running shoes!

I got 3 miles in today.  I won't talk about the cold.  But it is not 70 degrees!  That said, I could still run outside.

I had a really busy day and so I didn't do pushups or anything.

3 miles

Busy busy work day but I made time to run!  I was at a breaking point so I went for a run and I'm so glad I did.

The clouds followed me from Normal Heights to Kensington!  Really!  And now it's cold and spitting.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I hear you might get snowed in.

Late Morning Run

Geez Louise, I slept until 8 am this morning!!  I was awake several times during the night but then slept like a log.  So a late run today.  Didn't get on the TM until 9:15.  But I did my 3 miles.  Now, going out to shovel a couple inches of snow off the sidewalks and deck.  +32 here so you think it should melt but it hasn't.

Back at it! / 3 miles

I had a nice run this morning!  3 miles.  Not too much excitement out there.  I suppose most people are at work when I ran.

Did some pushups and situps, too.  I can already feel my stomach turning into a bowlful of jelly!  HELP!!


Another Week Begins

And I started it off right by running 3 miles and doing pushups and situps.  Snowing here a little this morning and expecting a couple of inches.  Duluth is expecting a foot according to Cheryl!
