Gym!

You read that right! For the first time since March, I went to the gym! My new gym. I really think I am going to love it. It's much calmer than the other one. Today I lifted weights but I took it pretty easy. I want to be able to walk tomorrow! Even for taking it easy, my muscles are very shaky now! I can really tell it has been awhile. But I'll get back into the groove. I actually ran today, too. I did it before I went to the office. I wasn't positive if I'd get to the gym tonight or not. And I took yesterday off so I wanted to run in case I ended up not gymming tonight. So I just skipped cardio at the gym since I had already done it. Almost done with my audio book (The Maze Runner). Jessica told me she listened to The Martian (soon to be a movie) and that it was so awesome she tried to find longer routes to work so she could extend her listening time! So I am going to listen to that next. Can't wait, actually. I hope you're having a great time and I wish I was with you!

I'm here!

I'm a slacker on posting but I have been running!  I've changed my breakfast a bit and I'm feeling more energetic. I hope it's not placebo effect! 

I did join that other gym and plan on going tomorrow. I will not be doing the 5x5 program!  I'm excited to get back into the gym routine.

New shoes seem great so far. I went to an 8 mm heel to this differentiation. I was at 12. I think this will help my right foot. We shall see!

Last 3 Days

On both Monday and Tuesday I ran a full 2 miles without walking so I am beginning to get back on track.  Today I ran the hill in front of our house twice and back home which it turns out is only 1.5 miles but, then, it's the hill!  Never done that before but think I will make it a part of my program.  After being in Montana and running there I will need to do some running on hills!

7th Annual Fitnatics 5K

We ran it on Friday, June 12th, 2015, and it was great!  A perfect morning in terms of weather.  Just gorgeous.  Paul won, as usual,  Anderson 2nd, Julie 3rd, and the old man 4th.  But we got it done.  The rest walked and also did a great job.  Then we had a wonderful day.  Faux Olympics and a Dump Dinner which were all just great.  This had become a very special day for our family and I hope we can keep it up in the years to come.

Run

Really nice run today. Beautiful day for it. And everything smells so nice! I have no idea what my time is like. I should set the timer on my phone so I'll know. Guess I'm having a rain day of rest tomorrow! My feet have not been hurting as much since I stopped wearing my Vans. Sad but true. Skateboard life dream isn't dead though! Just needs to be reworked.

And Another One!

I ran the whole 2 miles again this morning so I think I am finally getting back on track here.  Now, if I can just stay healthy and avoid injury I might have a good summer of running.  I am planning to get back to my 3 on, 1 off, 3 on schedule so that means tomorrow will be a day of rest in advance of the Fitnatics 5K.  Timed that just right!

2 Mile Run!

I did my first full 2 miler this morning in about 4 months!  I ran a mile north and back and never walked.  It's been a struggle to get back to it after these problems with my feet but I am finally making progress.  Now the key will be to be consistent about it so I hope I can do that.

Walk and Run

I know you already know what I did! But I'm recording it for posterity anyway. I went for a walk earlier today - just didn't have a run in me! But I did run this afternoon. My new audiobook is just getting started so I'm on the fence about it. I bet it will be great, though.

Still Trying

You are just doing so great!!!  And I'm still trying to get back to running a full 2 miles without walking.  Been a long time since I did that and it's hard to get it back.  My last really decent run was that 5K in SD 3 months ago!  But my feet are so much better now these last couple of weeks and I'm just going to keep at it.  I've been out there every day but one this week but just haven't posted anything.

And another run

Well, my audiobook is done. This was book 2 in the series and it was a little bit disappointing. Basically filler till book 3 comes out. Oh well! I did pushups and squats when I got back. And that's that!

Hills!

I did a bit of hill running before the rain today! Just the hill right outside the house 180th down to 140th. 30 minutes - I used my timer. That's it!

Yay Run!

My run was great today. Why? Because I was so work crank when I left and I got it all run out of me! Very windy on my way back. That's hard!

Running!

Good day for a run here! I did the Fitnatics 5k route again. Really nice. And it was not too cool but just cool enough as I was out and about. As you know, my feet are in tough shape. Maybe I'll check out your running store and see if they have some Mitzuno's.

I went to the gym!

And I actually did something.  Ran on their TM and used the weight machines.  Felt good.  Gotta get back on track here.  Both feet are feeling ok now and so glad for that.
