Something different

I'm flying to Burbank this afternoon, so I knew I wouldn't have time to get to the gym. I woke up super early today (by accident, though!) and decided to do a mix of squats, pushups, and planks. So that's what I did! I can only do 5 pushups at a time - I am NOT like Super Dad!!! But I did them and felt accomplished! Wrapping up work here then will head to the airport. Tomorrow the music festival fun begins!

Another run

Another run around the lake today.  It was very pretty.  Maybe a bit cooler than yesterday.  Which is ok.  But it was very busy out there.

Sure am liking my new walking shoes.  I am considering getting a pair for running, even though I don't technically "need" new running shoes.  But these walking shoes are solving a foot ache I've had for years.  So....I love them!

Shoulders Better!

Both shoulders are much, much improved the last couple of days from those injections I got a week ago today.  I don't remember ever having shots in the arm hurt like those did and last as long either.  But I seem to be over it now and glad for that.

Still going to the basement gym each morning for a 2 mile run and pushups and situps.  Heading to Whitewater tomorrow for the weekend so will see how my devotion to the cause holds up!

Gym day

I'm still feeling post gym soreness, that time off really got me out of shape! But I went back today and did my normal routine, although still with the lighter weights. Did a little walking, too. Not as much as yesterday, though. Beautiful day here again!

Many steps!

Big day of steps for me today. I went for a run this morning but I also did a lot of walking after work. I've been listening to an amazing audio book (Children of Time) and was at the end. So that inspired me to go for extra walks. Absolutely beautiful day here today. I feel lucky to live here!

Run and Push Ups

On the TM here today and probably now for the foreseeable future.  And I did push ups and sit ups today, too.  Have not done them since I got those shots last Thursday.  Arms are still sore but I managed to get 25 push ups done.  I don't know how long this lasts!  Didn't think it would last this long!

Gym Again

It sure was a beautiful day here today! But I didn't run, I went to the gym. Glad I did, felt good. Still did the lower weights that I did last time I went. It will take me a bit to build back up, but that's ok. Pretty quiet at the gym today. I do plan on having a walk here soon to enjoy this lovely evening. Did you see a beautiful crescent moon last night? It was very pretty.

Run Day

I had a really good run today! Slow but, eh, that's ok. I was still a faster runner than everyone who did not run! I did 4 miles around the lake. Really pretty day, I thought it was going to be so much colder than it actually was. It was very nice.

Outside Run Today!

It was 52 out there and very calm so I decided to run outside this morning which I did.  Some walking but mostly running.  Beautiful and coming to an end tomorrow they say so I had to get out there.

Skipped the pushups today though because I got shot at the Doc's office yesterday (flu shot and pneumonia second shot) so both shoulders are sore, sore, sore this morning! 

Now I'm sore!

Woke up feeling sore but not terrible. In fact, I was feeling pretty good. And it was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a run. And now I'm sore as all get out. I strongly suspect tomorrow will be a day of walking. But I need to make sure I get back into the gym routine so I might try and go anyway tomorrow. Otherwise, Saturday.

Gym

I hope you were sitting down when you read that title!  Yeah, I went to the gym for the first time in about 100 years.  Where are my muscles!  I really had to decrease the weight.  But that is ok, I'm getting g back into gear here and that's what counts.  I think.......

Another beautiful day!

Another really nice day here (only the day!  Night is very brrrrrr!) and I ran on the lake path.  Not too busy, maybe because I ran at 10 or so and everyone was still at work.

Been running in some new shoes and like them.  More structure than my Nikes.  But they are cut just right to allow rocks to get flung in around the ankles.  That I do not like!

TM again

It's going to be gorgeous here today but only 41 this morning so I ran on the TM again.  My problem is that if I don't do this first thing in the morning, it gets lost in the rest of the day.  I know you like to run mid day or afternoon but I just can't seem to do that.  So I'm glad we have this TM here.

Walking Day

No running today, but I did walk. Two days in a row after being a giant slacker meant I really just was ready to walk. Beautiful evening here, too, so it was a really delightful walk. Hope to be back to running tomorrow. It's too early to train for the half, so I'm going to call it "pre-training-training"!

Ran Today but Not Tomorrow

I did my 2 miles this morning before going to church and felt good about it.  Taking tomorrow off though because I have to be at the clinic to give blood for lab work at 8 am.  Good excuse!   Twice a year this gives me a day off!

Another run

Finally worked up the courage to go outside and run around the lake. And I dressed too warmly! I was very toasty by the time I was done. If you've been checking my weather, you will know that we are getting darn cold at night but it's been really nice during the day. Toyed with the idea of doing 4 miles today, but I just got too warm. And I have some errands to run. Excuses, excuses!

At the lake

Nice run around the lake today. Did three laps. And I stopped to sign a petition. Usually I stop for nothing. But this old lady started running with me and I heard the magic words, ".......Heller.......EPA......." Heller. That guy. Anyway, good run and probably will be more of the same tomorrow!

It's me, the worst poster!

Sorry I've been out of this game, I actually have been feeling so bad about not posting that it became a sort of vicious cycle of not posting! But here I am. Not been doing too much to post about, either, actually. I did a bunch of stuff when Bart was here but now just walking a bit. Slacker!

Back on TM

I had a terrible headache yesterday morning but, then, this morning nothing.  So back on the TM I went.  Had our first frost last night so too cold for this old man outside!  Wish I knew what was causing these headaches.  It seems seasonal which doesn't make any sense to me at all.  But it felt good to be doing a little running again today and some pushups and situps.

"Off" Since Monday

Remember those headaches I was having last fall?  Well, they have been back this week.  I did run Sunday and Monday but Tuesday through yesterday I just couldn't do it.  Now, today I'm ok.  At least for today.  So I did run this morning and it felt good to be doing something again.  I had an MRI last Dec. 27th and it showed nothing. Mom thinks it's "seasonal."  Am I depressed because winter is coming?  Maybe so.  Anyway, back on track today so we'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

Upped My Game A Little

Been running 1.5 miles for weeks now but upped it back to 2 miles this morning and hope to be at 3 miles a day by Nov. 1st.  Maybe!  Also started back with the pushups and situps, too.  25 each this morning.  We'll see how it goes!
