Quick post!

I haven't been posting!  Bart mentioned he hadn't seen many posts from me recently and I looked through and was surprised at how few posts I've been making. I will do better!

Although today's report is a day off!  But I did go to the gym yesterday and I can really feel it. Especially in my legs. Gym again tomorrow!

I ran!

Well, things are finally cooling down here. Thank goodness! Maybe the high was between 80 and 85. Better than 100+! I did run today. Finally getting back to normal after that early morning. Pace was better than it has been, so that's happy. Not much to report - didn't see anyone out and about. Well, I saw some people gardening. Oh, I have this to report. Kensington is 100% ready for Halloween!

Outside, Hilly Run

Wow.  It's a lot "hillier" here when you're on foot than when you're in a car!  But I ran a good 1.5 miles out there this morning in a cool mist.  Not rain, just mist.  But it felt good to do something and be out there in spite of the hills.

Another Hotel Run

I did it this morning first thing but forgot to post it.  Ran 1.5 miles on the TM.  This fitness center is on the 3rd floor.  Never been to one that wasn't on the ground floor.  The whole time I'm running I'm wondering who was in room 225 and what did they think was going on above them!  Then we did a lot of walking today touring around.  But we also did a lot of sitting because we got caught in Tennessee Titans home bound traffic after their game.  What a mess!

Hotel Run

We drove about  6 hours today and digested the news about Joshua along the way.  Very stressful drive around St. Louis, MO.  Traffic worse than SD!  So when we got to the hotel I did go down to the fitness center and ran 1.25 miles.  Room was very warm and that's all I could muster but it felt good to do that much.  Great stress reliever.

Another 50+ degree morning!

So, of course, I had to go outside and I did.  Nice morning, good run.  Taking tomorrow off as we begin our travels.

Good 2 Miler

On the TM this morning but I did a strong 2 miles.  Hope I can keep at it while on vacation.  That's always a problem for me but I just have to keep at it..

Ready for a day off

I'm tired! I did run today but it was uninspired and unimpressive! I do need a day off but I'm aiming for Wednesday. So I'll gym tomorrow, because weights is easier for me to do even when I'm tired.

Outside Again!

I really wasn't expecting to do another outside run until we are south somewhere but it was 51 this morning and very light wind so I did it.  Wore long pants and two shirts!  But it was actually very pleasant.

More exercise later today.  I'm washing windows!

Yesterday's Update

I forgot to post yesterday! Not much to say - gym day. Did weights and no cardio. Just wasn't feeling that. I did a couple new things and did not do the thing that I think is making my shoulder sore.

Did it!

Even though I really didn't want to! I finally dragged myself to the gym. And even when I got on the treadmill I said to myself, "I could just leave right now....." But I started. And I finished! Did that same hill routine again of 5 pace and level 5. I think next time I do that I'll do 5.1 pace. Just keep bumping it up one. Way less stiff today.

I'm smartin!

I am really stiff today from something I did at the gym Not sure what, because I only did "the usual". Well.....I also ran today. Overkill. But I took yesterday off and I had such a frustrating time the last couple of days that I just needed to get out and run. So I did and then I gymmed. maybe it was just too much. Finally cooler today. I hope I can sleep tonight, it's been too hot.

Good Run

I have been off for a couple days.  Well, Wednesday because of that flight over the valley and yesterday I did do a long walk on the TM but didn't run.

Today, however, I did run (on the TM - only 31 out there this morning!) and it went well.  Have just been doing 1.5 miles and think I'm ready to go back to 2.  Also did my exercises.

Weights

Busy day at the gym! I got everything done but couldn't do my exercises in the exact uptight obsessive order I always do! It all worked out. No cardio today, though. Just wasn't feeling it. So now I'm home. Sweating. Better clean up!

Interesting day at the gym!

It was hot again today! Not as hot. But hot. I did run, but I went to the gym to do it. And it was interesting because I used the hills setting. So I did a pace of 5/mile and my "level" (hardness, I guess?) was 5. And it was flat for 1 minute, a hill for one minute. And continued like that. The highest hill was 4.7% incline. Which I would have been able to maintain for any real duration but it was only a minute so that was doable. I liked it and I'm going to do it again! Hopefully this will help with my pace.

I ran!

I was able to get out today before it got too hot. It was probably 80 when I ran at 9 am but that's better than the 100 it was later!

Kensington is getting ready for Halloween!  Drove over there tonight to grab this pic:

TM this Morning

It was 54 out there but the wind has come up today so I opted for the TM instead.  Did my run and my exercises.  Nothing special but I got it done.

Little Gym

Took me awhile to work up to it, but I finally got to the gym today. But I didn't do much. I did one of my exercises and, when I got up, I actually thought I was going to faint! I had to sit down. So I wrapped it up. I'm not one of those people who believes in exercising till I'm sick. And I didn't do that much - or anything unusual or different. It was just too darn hot today! Sadly, more of the same tomorrow.

What a Gorgeous Morning in Wisconsin!

It was 55 when I left the house and 61 when I got back.  Full sunshine, very light breeze, some spectacular trees along the way (but not many).  And they are saying this is our last hurrah because a cold front is coming in tonight.  The high tomorrow will only be 60 but today supposed to get to 80.  So how could I resist?  I couldn't.  Did a nice 1.6 mile run and felt good.  Pace was 10:34.  Just perfect day out there.  This afternoon Mom and I are going to Interstate Park and hike around the lake just to enjoy this summer day.

Good gym on a weird day!

Today was weird! I was up pretty late testing last night and was going to make today a short day. But then we decided to do a hotfix tonight so I had to run automation on preview before we push to production. And I'll get up at 1 am to run automation on Production. So I went to the gym around 10:30. I've not gone at that time - well during the week. And it's different. Lot's of people. And I kept thinking, "Why aren't you at work?!" but they were probably thinking that about me, too! I did get my weightlifting in. No cardio today, though.

Inside Run

Only 42 out there this morning and some wind so I opted for the TM and it went well.  Also the exercises.  I'm about due for a day off, too, so will see what tomorrow brings.

Outside Today

Well, it was +52 and no wind at all.  Cloudy but very nice out there.  Ran 1.6 miles and felt good.  Also keeping up with the pushups and situps although I'm only doing 25 of each right now.

Gym Times!

Made it to the gym today. As per usual, didn't want to go. Was so glad once I was there! That's just the way of it, I think. Did my weightlifting routine "B". Then I ran for 10 minutes on the treadmill. Just 10 minutes at a pace of 5.0 and an incline of 1. I thought of doing faster/longer, but I want to ease into my pace upping. Not break myself on Day 1! I ran on Saturday but took Sunday off.

Another TM Run

Although it was +45 this morning I opted for the warmer basement and another TM run.  Call me chicken if you want.  I call me "warm."

We LOVED The Martian!!  Might even go see it again with Angie and seeing a movie twice is unheard of in my world.

For today, we are off to Duluth.

TM Run This Morning

I got on the TM this morning and got back to it.  Did a strong 1.5 miles and then some pushups and situps.  I kept thinking about the Twin Cities Marathon which is running right now this morning!  And the Whistlestop next Saturday which I wish I could do again but gave up on long ago.  My foot continues to feel ok and I want to do another half so I'm not going to be shy about going back for injections when I need them.

Gym Day!

Friday gym day! All kinds of people at the gym that I've never seen before. It was neat! I did my "routine A" so that was all good. Then I did 15 minutes of cardio. Yesterday was a day off for me. I didn't go to bed until 10:30 on Wednesday night and then I woke up at 4:15 Thursday morning. Gross, I know! Anyway, I was just so tired. No energy so I didn't make myself suffer through a run.
