Day Off!

Yes, I am making an actual stand alone 'day off' post! I didn't mean for today to be a day off. In fact, I didn't want it to be! It's very nice today and tomorrow is not going not be so nice, or so "they" say. And I have some work stuff that might slow me down the rest of the week. BUT. I've been doing a lot of running this week and I'm just a bit worn out. Also, work got busy and I have a meeting tonight. And I just realized......this is stressing me out! So I'm taking it off my plate. And I feel good about that decision. So that is a happy thing. And that's it. That's my report! See you SOON!

Another Roundup!

You know, every day I'm going to post. And each night I lay in bed and think.....dang it! I forgot again!! But here I am, today, not forgetting. And not in bed yet! So I'm counting this as a win, darn it! So, let's see...... Friday I ran - maybe I reported that! Saturday I went to the gym and I walked on the treadmill for some time (incline FTW!) and then I lifted weights. It was very very lonely there. They are putting in new floors upstairs, I noticed. Sunday - Run. I downloaded a different music podcast that is 180 beats per minute, it's supposed to help with pace. Let me assure you, it does help with pace! I was super pleased. Today was another awesome run with my fast beat podcast. I'm going to look through their posts and see what other 180 BPM ones they have. That's my report! Soon we will be reporting in person!

Head cold = days offl

It started coming over me on Thursday and by yesterday morning I was socked in like a London fog!  Still socked in today so taking days off here. Hope to get over it soon! The worst part is that I won't get to see star wars this weekend!

38 degree run!

I did it again! Went out for a run today when it was 38 degrees. I thought it was going to be freezing, but it was actually really nice out there. I was happy with my pace, so that's really good. And I did some abs (planks) when I got back. Yesterday I ran, too. But it was warmer than 38! And I did some squats, pushups, lunges, and planks when I got back. Making progress! Just in time for cookies!

Catching up!

I've been meaning to post every day but.....I have not! But I have been running - 3 miles. And then I walk to get my steps up to 10k, although I usually end up going a bit over. yesterday I did not run or walk, though, because I had a dr appointment. Just a checkup. But just didn't get in gear to get that done. I did do squats, pushups, and planks yesterday so that is something. And I sure can feel them today! Not sure what today will be. Feeling like I have a bit of a cold, so maybe a day of rest. We'll see!

I'm a Terrible Poster!

I have managed to run some every morning here but nothing to brag about.  We are going to Duluth tomorrow and staying at the Super 8 (only place with any rooms this weekend) and they don't have a fitness center.  So I will be taking Sunday and Monday off and I'm ready for a couple days like that.  Hopefully, I'll get back in the saddle on Tuesday morning.  I do plan to run some tomorrow before we leave.

Cold run

I am absurdly proud of myself! I went for a run this afternoon and it was 37 degrees out! I told myself "That's practically 40" to help me get out the door. Really glad I did it, I don't want to be cooped up all winter, that's for sure! Really good run, best pace I've had in a long time. Probably was very inspired to get done due to the cold. Quick weekend update. I ran three miles on Saturday and walked yesterday (Sunday). Been listening to (yet another!) super good audio book. Almost done and I'll be sad when it's over. But, at the same time, I'm really excited to know how it will end!

I did something!

I've really not done much since I have been home. I've been busy though - just with "stuff"! But today I did go for a run. 2 miles. Was aiming for 3 but, man, those 2 miles were darn hard. Looks like we have some snow coming in tomorrow night, so I'm going to try and run in the morning and then maybe gym on Sunday. If I can walk! I have to remember that I'm restarting here!
