Day Off

I usually do not allow myself to make decisions while I'm still in bed, but I sure did it today. I was just worn out and I've worked out hard all week so I didn't run this AM. I did get up at 5 though!

Getting up at 5 is really working well for me. I'm accomplishing a lot.

Also, I did day 3 of 100 pushups. I'm on my way!

Goal for the weekend is to run both Saturday and Sunday. One day at the beach, if I can swing it. It just depends on how much energy I have. Hey, I'm old!

Whew!

So, I gave myself a very serious talking to last night and I could really tell the difference in my attitude today. It went a lot better because I just didn't let work bother me as much.

I got up at 5 again today and my morning really went the way I have been planing! It is just taking practice to get into the groove. I had a really good run (30:18) and also studied for about an hour and a half.

Did the ol hills at lunch. It was busy out there today. Must be that exercising is the thing to do! We are soooo ahead of the curve!

Gardened a bit tonight. Only about 30 minutes, but it was good to get outside.

And now it is possible I'm going to bed. I'm tired and doing nothing functional related to homework.

Crankism

Well, shoot. If work isn't making me crabby! I didn't do hills today or go to the cages. And it is totally my fault. I let myself get wrapped up in work. SIGH.

But I did run this morning. 30:18. I must get more decrepit in San Diego. Must be something in the air! I also worked on my pushups. This was day two of week one.

Sorry this is short and sweet but statistics calls!

Got up at 5 AM again today.
Got up at 5 AM again today.

;)

Edited to add: I keep forgetting to mention my garden. I worked there last night and tonight.

hi

i did the 5k thing with mom today and tomorrow im going to summer stretch and doing a push up thing withmom and dad on the 19 im going to montana for a week and stuff so i will not talk a lot like i always do.......haha :)

Good Morning

It really felt like work this morning but I did a 2 mile route anyway. Took Brooks and Dunn with me today. Time was 19.18. Have a good day y'all.

I hope you are sitting down! Part deux!

Yes, I drank white milk again today. Yes, it made me gag again today. No, that is not why you should be sitting down to read this post. I weighed myself today and I weigh my pre-vacation weight! How the heck is that even possible??? With everything I ate I thought I would be up at least 5 pounds. Amazing!

I ran the usual 3 miles this morning. But I'm slowing down! It took me 30:08 this morning! Then I ran hills at lunch. I think a guy driving past me almost passed out when he asked me how many I do and I told him 7!

Got up at 5 again this AM. This will really work out well if I can keep it up.

Pretty good eating day today - I had a very small handful of corn chips that I am trying to make myself feel guilty about....but I don't really!

I got up at 5 again today. And it was hard again today! But I really want to keep it up. I never thought getting up at 6 would be a habit, so I just need to keep practicing getting up at 5.

Lead Shoes

This morning I woke and had a delicious cup of coffee! I strapped on my lead shoes and took off for a 2.4 mile run. I ran pretty slow down the hills and then my legs woke up and my shoes turned to feathers...I powered back up and LOVED every minute of it! Yay!

Happy running team!

I hope you are sitting down!

This morning.....I drank MILK! WHITE MILK! It was as disgusting as anticipated! So...I won't try that again! I was attempting to add some nutrients to my life. I guess I will just have to deal!

I did successfully get up at 5 this morning. Strangely, it really was not as easy as I thought! But I did it and I did get solid studying in. I'll try it again tomorrow.

I had a great run this morning. 30:07! No 5k time, but still darn good. I'm also working on 100 pushups in 6 weeks. I started today. I guess we will talk in 6 weeks!

I did run hills at lunch. Funny, it seemed really easy. I wonder why???!!!

Good Morning

It's a new week and I'm up and at it. Ran a two mile route this morning in 19.10. Went south on 180th, then east on 140th. Like the route generally but HATE the hill coming home! But have decided to vary my route some so this will be in the mix now. Also did 20 pushups and 20 situps when I got home. Took Abba with me today and enjoyed them so thanks for that. Have a good day y'all!

I'm clean!

I didn't run today. And I ate a lot of food! But I'm back in SD now and I went to the grocery store to stock up on healthy food for the week. So I'm all set to make a comeback!

Ahh-mazing!

Today was such fun! Thanks for all the motivation! So, when I ran the City of Trails of 5K my time was 30:13 and today my time was 29:53. All UPHILL! Thanks Dad!

jk jk jk

hi it is josh i ran the 5k and i need to take a nap

I Agree - We Are Amazing!

That was fun! My time was 28.42 which is also my best time ever. Remarkable for such an old man! But the amazing thing is that I really enjoyed it! Thank you for organizing this 5K run!

We are amazing!!!!

Thank you Dad!! The 5K was so much fun and I'm so glad we did it!

My time was 14:43 + 14:44! 29:27 for me! A personal best and, let's face it, freaking amazing on those hills!!!

Best Time!

I'm really am pleased with my running time the last two days. Especially today! I was under 30 minutes AND I ran alone! Yesterday when I ran with Angie I figured I was just motivated by running with a partner. Today it was just me! Yay!

It is so enjoyable to out here. I just love the trees. The flowers. The lack of skunks. The dead fish smell. The list goes on and on!

Tomorrow is our big day and I cannot wait! Good luck to both of us! As if we need to rely on luck.........we have our practice to rely on!

Good Morning

Well, let's get back to this! Now, that our trip to Virginia is over and we're getting ready for the big run on Saturday. I did the 3 miles this morning in only 29.30! I can't believe it either. All time best record for me. I did, however, gain 1.8 lbs while on vacation so will need to work on that end of things some. Feels good to be home, though, and back in my routine.

Good Morning

That was fun! Let's do it again tomorrow!

Wisonsin!

Ran two miles today and walked one. With Ang!! Super cool. And then we went to the lake any played in the water and had a lot of fun. I'm worn out, let me tell you.

Weight is good. Eating is good. I was hungry before bed and had a few nuts. Cause I'm staying with nuts!

And boy were my arms tired!!!

I got great exercise today - 3 miles this AM and then hills at lunch. So, the ush. But now I am getting ready to fly!

See you soon!

Good One!

I had a good run this morning. My time was about the same as usual, but it felt really good if you know what I mean!

I'm still in that 31:30 time for three miles. Hopefully I'll get motivated when I hook up with my running partner! That's you, by the way!

I did hills at lunch. It was hard because work was so busy, but I still left and took a break. I just want to make sure that I don't fall into a rut of skipping exercise because I'm too busy, whether it is too busy with work or too busy with school.

So weird that I am a student now!!

Hey! I'm all checked in! I will see you TONIGHT!!!

Doing it!

Before I go all crazy and try getting up at 5, I am going to try something better! Going to bed at midnight! I figure that I don't sleep when I go to bed and I hate getting up when my alarm goes off. I'm going to try and use that to my advantage. I'll let you know how totally dumb this idea is in tomorrows episode!

Good run this morning - it has been so cloudy, but no rain. Anyway, good run even though I had to wear my old school shoes!

Ran hills at lunch.

My eating has not been great. I'm all anxious due to school and so I've just not been hungry. But I'm aware that it is a problem.

Gravity

Was it just me or did gravity change today? I pretty sure that it was running parallel to the earth....and that I was running against it!

I really had a tough time today and had to constantly motivate myself! It was difficult not to take a break today. Especially this morning - it just finished raining so I had an excuse.

I did it though. Had decent time for a painful run. Did hills at lunch. Had to talk myself into doing all 7 repetitions though!

I can't believe it, but I ate healthfully all day too. It was difficult. I really thought of eating the food in our lunch room - but I didn't. I just at my healthy food that I brought - worms and all!

I forgot my gym bag at work! First time that has happened! Thankfully I have a pair of old running shoes here so GAME ON!

30:something ;)

Oh, so lazy! Can't even get up and mosey over to my watch!

But I had a good run this morning and did some solid pushups after. I ran hills at lunch- I lost count though! I know for a fact I did 7 but I may have done 8. Let's go with 8!

Solid eating day as well, but I'm brussleS bitter! I picket some up at the FM on Sunday and they were full of little worms! Very gross and very bitter. Well, I'm bitter. I don't know about the worms...I didn't eat them! Actually I trimmed them down as much as I could and I think I was successful in avoiding worms when cooking. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow at lunch!

I'm considering making a major change. I am thinking of getting up at 5 rather then 6. Yep, I know. Also gross and bitter! But I'm so worn at night and I just don't feel like I'm retaining as much, study wise. Well, I'm contemplating. Not dedicated!

Good Morning

Good morning. Day off today so didn't get out of bed until 7. Was awake at 5 to 6 but refused to get up that early on Monday! Ran 2 miles this morning but took a different route. Went south on 180th to 140th and then east from there. Only problem is that hill on 180th coming back home! But I did it. We'll have to discuss our race route when you get here. I've been thinking north on 180th all this time and that's where I've put a stake at the 1.5 mile mark but there might be some other way. We'll take a drive next weekend when you're here. "Next weekend"...I like the sound of that!

Have a good day.

Weekend

This is a super quick update. I had a good weekend but was so busy yesterday that I didn't run. Today I did though and it was good.

I did not intend to run today, actually. But I was at home feeling really anxious so I decided to burn off some energy. And it worked! I felt so much better when I got back!

Back to it full force tomorrow.

Good Morning

We went out to dinner last night, too! In a 1949 Plymouth! We went to the Drive In in TF and had hamburgers and fries! I could just see the calories entering my body. But I haven't had a mushroom swiss burger in more than 2 years so I said to myself, "what the hell!" and ordered it. Had some fries, too! So I'll pay for it I suppose but it was good and a fun time.

Another perfect morning here. Gorgeous. I only ran 2 miles this morning but did it in 19.26! Still wonder if that watch is right. Can't believe it actually. Wasn't trying to break any records and wasn't even thinking about it. But that's what it said.

Have a busy day here. Gardening, mowing, and still some sermon work to do for tomorrow. Hope you have a good day.

Runnin

I had a really good run this morning. But, man, has it been cloudy! Which is to be expected, but they seem heavier. I know it isn't going to rain, but part of me still wonders every morning.

I also got back on track and ran hills today. I'm glad - it really felt good.

I went out to dinner tonight and about ate myself into a coma! I actually didn't eat that much but I just can't cram as much into myself anymore! I made pretty good food choices, too. Healthy (relatively speaking!) but still delicious!

Good Morning

Another gorgeous morning here. It was 58 when I left the house this morning, sunny, no wind. Just perfect. Couldn't be better. Ran (and walked) the 3 miles in 31.20 today. I feel pretty sure I could break 30 mins if I could just keep running. Gonna try it one of these days and see what happens. Might surprise myself. A lot of this is mental you know anyway! Have a good day.

Slacker!!

Well, not really. But I feel like one sometimes!

I had a really good run this morning. I was a little late this AM so I skipped doing squats! Haha!

I also did NOT run hills today! I had an errand to run. But I missed it. A lot. That has really become a welcome part of my day!

I ate healthy all day, too.

Funny - my weight has been really steady. But I feel like my size is getting smaller!

My brain is getting BIGGER though! I took my first quiz tonight and got 100% correct!

Good Morning

The treadmill got fixed yesterday so I ran inside this morning just to check it out and make sure it's working right. And it seems to be. Did a full 3 miles at 5 mph so it took 36 minutes. Therefore, I conclude that I must be running faster than 5 mph when I'm outside. Doesn't feel like I am but have to be if I'm doing the 3 miles in 32 mins or so and walking 2/10's of it. Hmmm.

In response to an earlier question somewhere: no, I don't eat anything before I run. I have one cup of coffee to wake up though!

Glad you are balancing homework and exercise! You have a lot on your plate now so it would be easy to skip the exercise.

Have a good day.

Busy!

Hoo boy! Did I have a busy day today! But I made time for the stuff that is important to me - exercising!

I had a really good run this morning and then did pushups and lunges. Then I ran hills at lunch.

I didn't get home until, oh, 8:30. And then I did homework until now! I am a little behind in one class because I just got my text book in the mail today. And a little behind as based on my own schedule. What I completed tonight is actually due Friday. I just want to have good habits at the onset and not wait until the last minute.

So, that's my day! Now I'm going to bed so I can get up and do it again!

Yep, forgot again!

I forgot but I had a good run yesterday. 31:31 - cute!

I also ran hills at lunch.

I had a good eating day. Even though I ate dinner out. First, I just think of all the calories I save now that I don't drink. Amazing. And I had delicious dinner, but healthy. Clams. Steamed, not simmered in a wine sauce. I will admit, I almost had a snacking breakdown when I got home, but I decided not to give in.

My goal right now is to keep up my exercise even with my school. I have a lot of things that can "give" to make time - like mucking around on the internet!! - but not running. That is too important to my mental and physical health.

I forgot!

I forgot to post last night! I had a busy night and I am so worn out! Sounds like I need a vacation!!

I had a pretty slow run yesterday in the am. Not sure why. Then I did hills at lunch.

So, I did it. Just not really energetic about it! And I am so tired this morning. I really had to consider sleeping in vs. getting up.

I got up!

Good Morning

Good morning. Got outside this morning for my run even though it was only 44 when I left the house. No rain though and no wind so it was fine. Did the 3 miles but still walking .2 in the middle. Guess that's the best I can do. Get to 2 miles and just hit the wall. Time was 31.33 so that's still pretty good I think. Have a good day.

Good Morning

Not good as far as the running goes but very, very good as far as the raining goes! Yes, it's raining! So, no I didn't run. Treadmill is still broken, too, which is bad news. They're supposed to be coming on Wednesday I think. I hope to get back out there tomorrow and get back in gear. But I am thrilled to be getting this rain. Have a good day.

30:22

I am so tired I could go to bed right now! Crazy.

I got up even before my alarm went off this morning, which I love. And, even better, I came out to start my coffee (yep, even beat the coffee timer!) and there was a humming bird sitting on my feeder! First time for that to happen. I got the feeder a couple of weeks ago. It is just a little suction guy on my kitchen window. I know it has been visited....I just haven't witnessed it yet!

So, I ran this AM. Of course. Good run and a good time. Then I ran at lunch today. Hills. That went really well. I feel like I'm getting a lot stronger at hills. That didn't make me run MORE, mind you!

I wore some different jeans today and I just though all day how great it was to be able to wear different things but also to feel good about myself. I'm really taking care of myself and doing healthy things for me. Feels good!

30:41

One second longer this morning! It was a good run though. I am ready for June Gloom to be over already!

No running at lunch. It was my coworker's last day, so we had a good bye lunch for her.

I'm tired and over it tonight. But I'll be back at it tomorrow I'm sure!

30:40

I had a great run this morning! Why? I'm glad you asked!

First, I ran with ABBA. That just can't be beat. Second, I had about a block left to go and I looked at my timer, which I don't usually do. I have a couple of points where I always look at my watch to gauge my pace but I really try not to be obsessive about it. Anyway, I realized that I was in grave danger of my run bleeding into the 31 minute realm. So I really really kicked it into high gear and finished at 30:40! So there Zen masters! Being a slave to the clock works for me!

Also ran hills at lunch.

Boy, I was tired this morning. I went to bed at 9:30 last night, too! When my alarm went off I just had NO interest in getting up. I did though!

Time....what????

Well, I was surprised when I went to start my watch and I wasn't wearing the darn thing! I was pretty torn...I almost went back to get it!

I didn't though - I was 1.5 blocks from my house! It was a good run although I felt like it was slow. But I really would not know!! I did get back to the house at the "right" time.

Still taking it easy on my pushups, although I think my back issue is due to the fact that I've apparently been sleeping on my stomach! I did lunges too.

Also ran hills at lunch. It is just so good to get out of the office drama for a bit!

That is it. The usual in other words. I really need some new music. Or a running partner.....

Catching up!

I ran yesterday but neglected to post!

I went over to Coronado actually and ran on the beach. It was really nice. Not a lot of people. It was somewhere between drizzle and rain so I understand why people were not beaching it!

I just plotted it on walkjogrun.net and it turns out to be a longer route then I thought. It actually is three miles. I thought it was two.

No matter how long it is, I feel like I've been hit by a cement truck!!

Oh, editing to add: I made my goal!!! I'm actually .5 pounds below my goal. Yay me!

Runnin and such

Well, I'm darn close to my 5/31/09 goal weight. .5 pound away in fact! Will I make it???? Or will I eat pudding all weekend???

Tune in to see!

I had a great run this morning and did hills at lunch. I practically got rained on both times! We are doing the June Gloom here and it sure is misty out!

In fact, this morning I started out and then came back to check the weather! I was pretty sure it was just mist but wanted to make sure before I subjected my iPod to the elements.

I got that book from the library, Potatoes not Prozac. I suppose it will tell me to lay off the sugar and refined flour. Why is it the stuff that is bad for us tastes so good????

Good Morning

Up and at it. Did the 2 miles again and a beautiful morning out there. 53 when I left the house. Sunny and very little wind. Perfect morning. The wind is picking up now though so glad I beat it. I'm heading out for Eau Claire in a bit here and won't be online tonight or tomorrow morning. Have a good day.

Lazy and Strong

Well, I had a good day and a bad day all rolled into one.

One think - eating was healthy all day! Also, I had roasted brusselS sprouts for dinner and the were delicious. And, I just learned that they are apparently officially named brusselS sprouts! I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight!

I woke up with a serious noggin ache this morning and I actually had it all day. And night I guess. That is weird/unusual for me. Anyway, I knew I was not feeling all Speedy Gonzales but I decided to anyway. I told myself that three miles isn't really that far...and I was already up anyway, so just do it!

So I did! But, man, was I slow. About a minute longer then usual, which was kind of a bummer. But I decided to do four miles then, just slow. So that's what I did. No muscle work today. No hills. But that's OK.

Have a fun weekend! Soon we can recreate your Olympic running together!

Good Morning

A beautiful morning! About 50 when I left the house. NO wind!!! Perfect. Ran my 2 miles in 19:15. Record time for me. I will start to lengthen my distance on Monday. If I can add a quarter mile a week I will be at 3 miles by race day. Weight is holding steady at 6 lbs below my goal weight so feeling pretty good about that. Have a good day. A word of advice: avoid skunks!

I'm tired!

I am worn out tonight! Hopefully I can get some decent sleep!

I had a really good run this morning - about average time for me. Also did hills at lunch.

I'm going back to basics with my pushups. I was trying to do three sets of ten every other day. My third set I couldn't usually do ten and my form was starting to fall apart on the third set! THEN! My back started hurting. Across my back, right below my shoulder blades. And I am sure it is just poor form pushups. So I'm working on quality, not quantity.

Anyway, this is my long winded way of saying I did three sets of five. No backache thus far!

Also a healthy eating day. I have been eating a lot of beets. I just love them. Do you like mustard greens? I do. So spicy/peppery/hot! YUM!

Good Morning

Brrr. Only 42 when I left the house this morning and wind out of the north. It was cold! I only did 2 miles this morning and think I will do that the rest of the week. The full 3 miles is still a goal I can't seem to reach. And I am just tired these days. Jet lag I suppose. But I ran the whole 2 in just over 21 minutes. Have a good day.

I'm dry!

I must be hungry for some weather because I went outside this morning and thought "this May grey looks more like rain clouds!!" Well, um...the were not!

I had a great run this am - I'm lazy and my watch is on the other side of the room but I think I clocked in at 30:23. Getting there. Still. Oh well. That magical 30 just continues to give me a goal! Look at that positive thinking!

I also ran hills at lunch today. Two coworkers were out of the office Friday and today. So it was just me and new girl. And today I told myself "Just because there is a staffing problem, doesn't mean it is a problem for the staff!" And I ran hills! New girl was nervous, but hey, swim baby! Swim!

Healthy eating all day too. I had a salad for dinner tonight that was so delicious! I made a white balsamic reduction and it turned out great!

Good Morning

Ran outside this morning on my old route. Really seemed like work today though. Wow. I still can't run the whole 3 miles. Walked about 4/10's after 2 miles this morning. Then ran the rest of the way home. And I haven't done my pushups and situps for 10 days and that was really hard this morning. How quickly you lose it if you don't use it! But my weight is still down so that's the good news this morning. Have a good day.

Back to it!

I had a couple tough food/exercise days on Friday and Saturday.

Friday, I went out to run and a woman was walking her pit bull - leash free. That was all the hint I needed to take a day off and drink more coffee!

Saturday, well, I didn't even pretend to try! Also, I ate pudding. A lot.

But Sunday and today I'm back on track! Ran both days (three miles each day) and eating healthy. Whew! I really do feel so much better - physically and emotionally - when I know I'm taking care of myself.

I'm really glad you had fun....but I'm even happier that you are home!!

Good Morning

Well, actually, not so good. Very, very windy here already at 7 am so I didn't run outside. Got on the treadmill and did 21 minutes (so 2 miles) before the belt started slipping so had to quit. Tried to tighten it but never got any better. Got the manual out and stood there dripping sweat trying to adjust it but to no avail. Gave up and will look at it again later. Haven't run since last Thursday morning so felt good to do even a little today. We've only had this thing for a year so hope it can be adjusted. Of course, the warranty was off in March. Hope you have a better day!

31ish!

Well, shoot, I'm tired! I could get up and look at my watch....but I'll just report an approximate 31 minutes for running today!

Did the requisite pushups and lunges upon my return.

Ran the usual hills today.

So, you know. The usual!

I realized that I did not report in yesterday. Take this, rinse, repeat!

I'm thinking of you like crazy! Hope you are having the best time ever!!

LSD

Not the drug! Long - slow - distance. I feel like that's what I did today. Only three miles but it felt like it took forever! I can tell I over ate this weekend. Oh well. It was a delicious weekend anyway!

No hills at lunch. I had coffee with a pal.

Back at it tomorrow.

You are my Olympic running hero!!!

Whoops!

I forgot to post last night! Worry not, I didn't forget to exercise yesterday! I just hope you are not in Greece checking blogger for my update that does not yet exist.....

I had a good run in the AM. My three mile point was 31:21ish. I ran 4 miles total, so my three mile time is lost in the annals of my mind! Did the regular pushups and such upon my return.

Also ran hills at lunch.

And then....pizza for dinner! It was delicious!

Good Morning

And good bye! You know about our run this morning. Pretty exciting.

I looked up all the hotels online last night and only one has a fitness center mentioned. The others might have them but don't say online. But maybe not, too. Not sure I'll have time or energy to run while we're gone anyway.

I'm back down 2 lbs this morning! so back to Tuesday's weight. Same as all last week. So, what's the deal with that? MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL! Think the scale is screwy. Not taking a scale with us so wonder what it will be a week from Sunday. I hate olives so might be ok!

Have a good week. If we can get online over there I will check in. The hotels all mention that they have an "internet corner" so don't know what that means.

31:17....ish

I sure had one of those "I don't wanna!!!" days today! But I did! My time was 31:17. Pretty good.

I did hills at lunch - 10 today actually. I'm going out for dinner tonight, so I was just planning ahead a little for the big Friday weigh in.

And, YES! GRRR. I was up .5 today. I blame the diet pop!

I'm gonna miss you, partner! I know you will have a fantastic time though!

Good Morning

Good morning. Only 38 and very, very windy here this morning so I didn't go outside. Hate fighting the wind. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill and jogged the whole way so got in 2.5 miles. Then my 20 pushups and situps. Am taking running clothes with me so hope there will be treadmills in the hotels but don't know about that. Hope so though. My weight is exactly the same today as yesterday. Oh well. I'll probably lose weight on the trip because I don't like olives or lamb! Final packing here today and want to get the lawn mowed. Will put on my long johns to be out there doing it!

30:30

Yep! You read that right! And I typed that right! I'm in the 30s! So that means that I did 10 minute/10 second miles this morning. AMAZING!

Did the usual mess of pushups and such upon my return.

Did some hill running at lunch.

Did some gardening after work!

I'm tired!

So I've seen great pace change this week and I'm thinking it has to be the change I've made with the soy milk. I was drinking it after my run but decided to see what would happen if I drank it before. So I'm having it the minute I get up. Before coffee even. We shall see if this keeps up, but it is the only think I've changed this week. So it must be impacting my energy level.

Well, I'm sure going to miss you when you are gone! Don't worry though - I'll keep exercising and posting! You will need a day off just to go through all my posts.

I mentioned this when we talked earlier, but I only have two pounds to go to make my May 31 goal. That's great because then I can get a jump on my June goal which is, shall we say, overly ambitious. And by overly ambitious I mean that I've already told myself to get real and not worry about it!

I'm interested/anxious to see what the scale says tomorrow. Today was birthday cake day for me and Jessica - the May birthdays! It was somewhat healthy - angel food, very small amount of cream topping (I'm talking like 1 tbsp) and fresh fruit. I ate it, which is irritating because it really wasn't good - this lady who makes our cakes is AMAZING in her ineptitude. But the cake caught me at the right time - I was really hungry! I also had a diet 7up.

So we shall see how that equates to pounds tomorrow. It is no biggie - I think I'm more irritated that I ate something that I knew would not be good! OY!

Good Morning

We got some rain overnight so everything is wet here this morning. Wasn't sure if I should run outside or not but took a chance and didn't get wet. Might be some more showers coming later they say. Anyway, ran 2.1 miles and then had to walk about 4/10's before running the rest of the way home. I have put a small marker at the 1.5 mile mark up the road so I know exactly where to turn around. Not sure how long it will stay there but it was still there this morning. Did the whole thing in 33.45. Not great but not too bad either.

I didn't eat very healthy yesterday! And it showed on the scale this morning. Weight is still a mystery to me. I am resigned to the fact that I will be gaining some on this trip so would like to be down a couple pounds before we leave but doesn't look like that will happen.

30:58!! w00t!!

Well, you already know my exciting news, but here I go again! Must be the chocolate soy milk in the morning!

Actually, I know it is was the first mile. I really focused on doing better there and it had an impact!

I did hills at lunch today. Alone. That is good and bad. Jessica can't run that many, but having somebody there with me is really motivating and helped my pace. She says she will do it again tomorrow. We shall see!

Tonight I'm just chilling. I'm tired! Ate a healthy dinner - a little of my leftover chicken cordon bleu and some squash. I steamed a couple of little artichokes I am going to eat, too! Do you like artichokes? I love them!

31:09 - Big News!

I had a great run this morning! I ran three miles in 31:09!!! Let me tell, you I was VERY excited! I also did a total of 4 miles, just for the heck of it. 42:04 was my time in total. I'm pretty thrilled because my mile pace was 10:31 over 4 miles.

I did pushups and whatnot upon my return.

Jessica and I walked at lunch - and ran my hill 4 times. She is bitter.

And I gardened after work. So a hecka lot of exercise today. And it wasn't forced. I just did it because I wanted to do it.

Good Morning

Good morning. We are up and at it. I walked Carter to school and then walked his bike back home because he couldn't find his bike lock this morning. Then I went for a run. It really seemed like work today. Why is that? Lately, it seems to be getting harder instead of easier and I am expecting the opposite to happen. I only ran for 17 minutes this morning and walked the rest of the way home. I was pooped at 17 minutes. Not sure how far I went but am going to drive it before we leave here so I will know. I think I was running faster than usual for some reason and I think it's harder (no pun intended) to run on concrete sidewalks than on a blacktop road. Seemed harder on my lower legs. So the second half I moved to the medians and ran on people's grass! Hope they didn't mind. I will run the rest of the week at home but don't expect I'll get any running in while on our trip. Of course, when we're in Olympia I plan to run around the original Olympic track if there is one. Not sure what's there. Hope there's something though because that would be kind of fun to do. And then I would always be able to say that I ran in the olympics! Have a good day!

Quick Catchup

I had a really good weekend, health wise. I made really smart - and delicious - food choices. So it was good, I had fun, but it didn't break my diet bank!

I ran three miles yesterday, which I don't usually do on Saturday. Then I went for a big bike ride into Hillcrest this afternoon.

I'll have more tomorrow.

42:41

Why so long you ask??? Cause I ran longer! Yes, I sure did! I was about done this morning and I just thought - what the heck! I thought I added another mile, but I mapped it out and it was only .81. But still!

It was neat out this morning. Lots of marine layer. I could feel it!

I did two sets of pushups, but I just didn't have a lot of stamina after running so I didn't force it. Also, I'm worn by the end of the week!

I had four tokens in my purse, so I went to the batting cages at lunch. I was so beautiful outside!

Had a big dinner out tonight. It was delicious! I would say I ate healthy if not for the copious amounts used to cook my shrimp, tuna, and vegetables!! We went to a teppanyaki restaurant and it was really fun!

Then Bart and I went bowling. You know, that really is some exercise! I was sweaty!

Here was my drama tonight. My coworker make treats today and REALLY wanted me to eat them. I told her I would take one home because I didn't want to get started eating treats at work. Because I wouldn't quit once I started! And we have all kinds of junk at the office to eat! Anyway, she packed a couple up for me and I had a bite of one when I got home. Put it back in the fridge. And as I was mucking around here I realized "why am I even keeping those? I know myself. I'm going to focus/focus/focus on them until I eat them!" So I threw them away. Wasteful, yeah. But I didn't want them and I would have made a choice I regretted. I know myself. I would have.

So, a successful evening I think!

32:21

Well, a little slower today! Oh well. It was a nice run anyway. Good to be out.

Did my usual mess of Calisthenics upon my return.

Hills at lunch.

I walked over to my garden tonight and spend about an our mucking around there.

So, I full day of exercise! Good eating, too. Lots of fruits and vegetables.

I'm feeling actually tired tonight for the first time in a long time. That's good!

31:58!!

w00t!! I hit the 31s today! Really tried to watch that first mile a bit!

I did better at my third set of pushups today too. It is tiring though!

And, yep, hills at lunch.

So, the usual!

Hope you are having fun! I'm missing you!

32:02

Still listening to ABBA! Probably have another day or two before I need something new in the rotation!

I had a good run this morning. Very slow on mile 1 though. I'm going to try and focus on that a bit more tomorrow.

Did miscalinious "strenght" things upon my return.

Ran my hill 7 times (up AND down!) at lunch.

Had coffee (decaf, natch!) with a gal pal tonight. And she said "YOU LOOK GREAT!" Yay!

I had a really healthy (and tasty) eating day. I'm excited to get to the Farmer's Market on Sunday, though.

32:17

You start with good morning and I start with good night!

I had a good run this morning, although it was video game style. And by that I mean everybody was trying to hit me! Hahaha! Yeah, I don't think it is funny either. But I'm intact! My time was 32:17.

I came back and did pushups and ab things. Doing something new with my pushups this week. I am going to try and two three sets of 10. I did OK with my first two sets but my last 5 in set 3, well I don't think my form would count!

Ran hills at lunch. Added an extra one in! I mapped it out and my hill is an eighth of a mile. So I added another to get in a half a mile at lunch. I ran down hill today, too. Usually I walk.

As anticipated, I gained approximately ten million pounds on vacation. It will come right off, I think!

I wasn't thrilled with my eating today. I ate tons of veggies but I realized I didn't eat any fruit! How is that even possible!?!

Good luck tomorrow! I hope you can run! I miss you already!

Good Morning

A new record! Did the 2 miles in 20.08 this morning! And I wasn't trying either. If I had known how close I was to doing 10 minute miles I would have kicked it up coming down the driveway which I could have done. I really can't believe this actually. Makes me wonder if my watch is working right. A gorgeous morning here, too. Going to be nice all week while I'm sitting inside going to class! Ugh. Into the 70's today. Well, have a good week and I'll report in Friday night or Saturday morning. Not taking the laptop with me so won't be online.

Good Morning

Well, I did it again. Ran the whole 2 miles so that's 4 days this week. I think I'll be glad for a break on Sunday though. Did it in 20.48 this morning. I look at the watch when I turn the corner at the one mile mark and then again when I'm done so not clock watching. But doing pretty good. Was cold when I started this morning but, of course, warmed up along the way.

Have fun in the desert today. I'm going out to plant potatoes and peas in a bit here. Sunny and 57 out there and going all the way up to 65 today! Heat wave.

32:02

I must be tired! Or......OLD!! I had a really good run this morning but that last mile was really gummy. I'm ready for a break over the weekend!

Good news - I'm eligible for a pedicure! I've made another five pound goal. I looked at my graph this morning and realized that, since I've started keeping track on 2/28/09, I've lost 12 pounds! I'm pretty stoked!

Have a great weekend! I'll check in on Sunday!

32:02

That was my time today! Not ground breaking by any means, but it was a solid run. And enjoyable! Yay ABBA! And, this is sad, but I was up at 5 am today. I think I was that excited about ABBA Gold!

Did miscellaneous floor things upon my return.

I also hit my hill at lunch. Which, by the way, is .08 of a mile. So I'm a little under half a mile when I do hills at lunch.

Yay desert! I leave tomorrow.

Good Morning

I ran outside again today and did the whole 2 miles again. Foggy and misty this morning but it seemed to add something to the mystique! I pretended I was running in the clouds. Took Billy Joel with me and listened to some of his more boring songs. Should stick to my 30 minute playlists where only the good songs play. Also did my 20 pushups and 20 situps. But was up a 1/2 lb this morning. Ate a dozen chocolate kisses yesterday so I'm blaming it on that. Have a good day.

ABBA!

So, exciting times here. I have the ABBA Gold album! Nabbed it from the office! So I'll be running to that tomorrow and I am really excited.

I had a good run today - 31:45. I was alone in the world this morning. Did my pushups and such. It was hard! After my second set I really had to talk myself into doing the final three sets. But I did it!

Batting cages at lunch today. Which was, as always, really fun. I really hit some balls hard! I'm The Natural!

I did well on eating today. I almost had a breakdown after work but I got some popcorn (no added oil/butter) which is only 120 calories per 2.5 cups. And 4 grams of fiber. So I figured that was a good snack that would help me stay on track. And I was right!

I also broke down and bought some valerian. I was hoping my sleep would adjust but I'm still having a hard time. Well, let me clarify. I'm having a hard time from 10 PM to 5:30 AM. I'm sleeping like a freaking rock when my alarm goes off! Anyway, the pills from the doctor make me lethargic the next day and I know valerian works for me.

Yay ABBA!

Get Ready to be PROUD!

Yes, I said, proud! I jogged the whole mile north this morning AND THE WHOLE MILE BACK HOME!! That's 2 miles of jogging! First time I've been able to do it ourside. I was nearly dead when I got home but will make this my goal now and do it for a couple weeks until it's easy. Or easier. Took me 21.15. Then I walked back up the driveway to get the paper and back down so didn't quite get to 30 minutes today but I RAN FOR 2 MILES!!! OUTSIDE!

I can't quite believe it myself here.

Have a good day.

A Solid Day

I had a really good run today! 31:47. I really like it when I'm in the 31s! Did squats, crunches, and other miscellaneous floor exercises upon my return.

This will come as a giant shock to you, but I did run hills at lunch! Also felt good. Today was one of those good days I guess.

I also had a good eating day. I felt motivated with my piece of paper in my pocket! I'd like to lose 7.5 pounds by 5/31/09 - we shall see how that works out! I won't beat myself up if I don't quite make it. And I won't starve myself to make it! But it is good to have a goal.

I should be hitting the batting cages tomorrow so that is pretty exciting!

Sleep well - I hope I do too!

Back to the grind

Back at it today! I had a good, albeit somewhat sluggish, run this morning. My time was 32: 39. The time wasn't bad at all. Just one of those outings where I felt slow. I don't know if that even makes sense!

I did a bunch of calisthenics when I came home. I did more lunges then usual. I'm also adding one pushup to my set. So I am doing five sets of six pushups this week.

Ran some hills at lunch. That felt good.

I'm still sore! I just cannot believe how bowling took the wind out of my sails!

I really ate healthy food all day today. I've been having a harder time over the last couple of weeks. Specifically regarding food, not exercise. I don't know why. But I'm just trying to pay attention and do a better - and healthier - job.

Good Morning

Another day, another dollar. Or something like that! Cold here again today. Only 38 so ran inside again this morning. Did 28.08 so getting close to the magic 30 minutes. Weight is holding steady at 6-7 lbs below my goal so feeling very good about that. Have a good day.

Good Morning

It's cold here again! Cold front came through about 6 pm yesterday. Only 38 at 8 am when I was ready to run so did it inside again today. Ran for 27:56 today. Wish I could do that outside. I'd have it made then. But will keep working at it. Took peter, Paul, and Mary with me today. Was in a quieter mood I guess. I haven't been bowling for years and years. Use to like it and probably still would. Did Wii bowling with Carter and Anderson last time we were there. I lost! But it was fun. Weight is now staying at 6 lbs below my goal so glad to see that. Been there this whole week. Have a good day.

Short and Sweet

Yep, that's me! This post too! Just got home and I'm tired!

I had medium sleep last night and, as usual, I sure didn't want to get off when my alarm started whistling at me! But, also as usual, I did get up.

I had a great run this morning. 32:07. Did pushpus and such on my return. The hills at lunch. Then bowling tonight! And I'm already bowling sore!

The Princess and the Pea

That's me!

I didn't get a wink of sleep last night. I am entering that non-sleeping crabby zone. How is it that my jacked sleep patterns have become so jacked I know the zones?? Anyway, I have a set of sheets that I need to try and return. They are only a couple of months old but they have pilled! And I CANNOT STAND it!!! That isn't why I could not sleep, but it sure was all I could focus on while I was flopping about! I finally solved the problem by just laying on the other side. I have two sets of these sheets and only one is doing this. Really frustrating!

Anyway! I did get up and run this morning. Coffee saved the day! It was brewed and I didn't want to waste it!

I had a really good run - 32:32. Did some assorted floor exercises upon my return. And I did some hills at lunch! Lot's of exercise today.

The Upswing!

Or just the swing in general! Got to the batting cages at lunch today! Super fun, of course. I really had some solid hits and it was really nice to be outside. Great day for it!

I ran this morning and it was better then anticipated. I had another morning where my intention was not to "try". Just do it and not worry too much about the time on my watch. And my time turned out to be 32:11. I was impressed! It is neat to think about how in shape I am that I have such a killer pace even when I'm not feel 100%!

I did pushups and crunches when I got back from my run.

More tomorrow!

Good Morning

Well, just keep slugging! Some days that's all we can do. I jogged inside again this morning. Only 32 when I was ready to go out. Supposed to get to 70 later today though and 81 tomorrow. So maybe tomorrow morning I can be outside. Hope so. Jogged 25.04 today. Setting my outside jogging goal for 20 minutes and see if I can do it. Have a good day!

Slugging Along

Well, I am feeling better. Although not 100%. I still have this headache. It stinks!

I did run this morning, although I did not break any records! 33:23 was my time. Slow, but I just wanted to get out there. I really didn't try to push myself. In fact, I was surprised that it was not 35 minutes, actually. So that is good!

I did not run hills at lunch either. I just didn't have it in me! Ate healthy all day though.

Now to bed. I am treating myself and have the AC on. Cause I'm sick!

Good Morning

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. Jogged inside again this morning. Only 30 when I was ready to go. Going to be 60 this afternoon they say though so hope they are right. And then getting warmer over the next few days. We have a long way to go to hit 98 however. :)

Jogged for 24.40 this morning and took our friend, Barry, with me. Overall, I'm doing 2.5 miles now with 2 of them jogging. But, again, that's inside on a level surface. Hope to get back outside tomorrow and see what I can do. Just getting up to the mailbox makes me feel it in my legs. But I'll keep working at it.

In regards to my weight, I started down this road at 216! I can hardly believe it until I look at pictures of myself then. My goal was 175 and I got there more than a year ago now. All winter now I have been bouncing between 170 and 173. Up and down. Down and up. Well, for the last few days (since Saturday) I have been below 170! Must be the running. This morning I was at 169. So, besides your challenge, this is incentive, too.

Gotta get to work.

Good Morning

A very late start here this morning! Good thing it's my day off! Didn't get out of bed until 8:15! What a lazy bones. Anyway, only 28 degrees when I got up and snow flurries coming down! So, didn't even think about going outside. Used the treadmill and jogged for an all time best of 24:11!!! That's 2 miles! But, of course, I keep the treadmill level the whole time. Can't do 2 miles outside yet. Couldn't even get to 1.5 on Saturday out there so have work to do. But feeling pretty good about what I did this morning. Also got up to 20 puchups and 20 situps as of today so we'll see how that goes.

Suggestion: you run the 5K outside (with the hills) and I run it on the treadmill (on the level). What do you think?

Good Morning

I hate to burst your bubble but I will never be running 3 miles by June! I started at the house this morning to see how far I could get. By the time I got to the top of the driveway my legs were already feeling it. How do you run hills? Anyway, got to the mile mark (at 10:15) and turned around and there was another incline! Made it about 200 yards more but that was it. Legs just couldn't do it. Walked a quarter mile and then ran another quarter when it was level again. I'll keep working at it though. Heart got to 152 which is the highest it's been I think. I don't wear that thing every day. About twice a week. But this was the highest I've seen. So I guess that's good. I need to do some exercises to strengthen my legs. What do you suggest?

More excitment!

Today's run was 31:15! I'm excited - really have been picking up the pace. I think it is my focus. I'm really trying to improve that first mile. Usually I just zone then. My distance is not really precise - well, I AM running three miles! But where exactly is mile 1? Uh....not sure! But my first watch review is usually 11:20ish. Today it was 10:46!

Did a lot of floor things. And then I ran hills at lunch. Seems like that has become the usual.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day. Well, my mark down day! And I know I'm up about a pound. Irritating but I know my pants are fitting better. I will just do the work I can do and I'll leave my body to figure out the weight thing, I guess!

I really like the idea of the first annual Fitnatics 5K! First we need a logo and then I can make us t-shirts. I vote for BLUE!!!

31:19!!

I had a really great run this morning! My time was 31:19. I was darn thrilled! That gives me 10:26ish mile! I'll keep practicing. It is enjoyable to do it now.

I did pushups upon my return and I ran some hills at lunch.

I'm worn. I didn't sleep like a pro last night. Oh well - tonight! I ate a little more today then usual, but I was hungry darn it! It was all healthy though.

Sounds like we might be running partners on our trip! Congratulations! I'm so very impressed with you!!!

Good Morning

I went outside this morning even though it was only 36 when I left the house. Broke my own rule by doing so but was ok. Wore 2 sweatshirts!

But the big news is that I ran the mile back in 10.04!!!!! I can't believe it either. I was done when I got home though. Couldn't have done any more. But, wow. That's remarkable for me! Now, I will slow down a bit and run a little farther each day.

Have a good one.

Brrrr!

Well, darn it is cold! We have had a blustery and grey day. I love it!

I am glad I didn't know it was all cold and windy out before I opened my door to run this morning. But I just went about my run and it was great. My time was 32:16! I guess that Euro pop really helps!

I did a lot of Calisthenics, too. In fact, I'm a little sore!

Also got out at lunch and did some hill running. Six times.

Yay! I'm all dedicated I guess!

I'm going to bed!

And I mean that in the poutyest way ever. I forgot my book at work! Really sad times over here!

And, I'm tired! I went to bed at 10 last night and slept darn well. All the same, I really was uninterested in getting up this morning my my alarm went off.

I did though! I'm so much better at being dedicated to this morning exercise! Anyway, I ran this morning and my time was 32:46. Really nice day out today. And a lot of people were out and about. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world when I am out there in the morning!

Jessica and I went to the batting cages at lunch and it was really fun. I'll be sore tomorrow though!

Good Morning

Good morning. We're off on another week of fun and fitness! (I'm trying to think positive!) Actually, I feel pretty good this morning. Think the stress of Lent and Easter is over and had a good night's sleep, too.

So, had to jog inside this morning. Only 36 when I got up at 7:30 and I won't go outside unless it's at least 40. That's just my personal rule. Anyway, I jogged 22 minutes and 23 seconds according to the music on the iPod. Treadmill registered 22.05 so have some missing seconds there somewhere. Tomorrow I'll use my stopwatch, too, just to see. Anyway, I think that figures out to be 1.833 miles in 22 minutes. So, how long did it take me to do one mile? A little math quiz to get you thinking!

Have a good day.

Rain Day!

It was like a snow day - you know, a day off. But rain induced!

I didn't realize it was raining until I opened the door to hit the road! And I thought, "You know what? I'm just not that dedicated!!" So I did a million jumping jacks and various floor exercises. And I can feel them - I'm sore!

I did get out at lunch and did some hill running. So it wasn't a total wash today!

My weigh in made me sad this morning, though. I was up half a pound from my low (yay!!) weight of yesterday. And I KNOW it was because I did not get to sweat out every ounce of liquid with a run before stepping on that scale! Oh well. Thems the breaks!

You asked about hill running. Well, first, I started it because it is really good for helping with speed on regular runs. Or so "they" say. It is a muscle builder and helps with general stamina.

I just found a hill close to the office. I bet it is only a tenth of a mile going up. I'll drive it Monday to get a distance. Anyway, it isn't gigantic. So I go to the hill and I run up it as fast as I can. And then I walk down. It helps me get my breath back. And then I run up it again! I am doing it six times right now. It is a major heart pumper, I'll tell you that.

I took some time off doing hills and just picked it up again a month ago, I guess. But the first time, oh did my butt hurt! I was in agony for two days!

It is raining right now!

Woo boy!

I had a great run this morning! My 1 mile time was great - so was my 1.5, and so it went. I ran though a groin muscle cramp and a self induced diaphragm spasm. Self induced cause I'm a spaz! I kid! I was not paying attention to my breathing during a couple of close hills and I think that did it.

How long was my run? Well sir, it was 32:5somesuch. But how about the distance? I don't know!! I was doing my final push and I realized I was waaaay past my stop block! Like blocks past! Talk about zoning out!

Did some lunges and squats upon my (belated) return home. Then The Plank.

I also ran some hills at lunch. 7 I think. Again, zoned out so I lost count.

Note to self!

Don't go to the batting cages during spring break and immediately following the start of baseball season! I went over at lunch with the intention of hitting a few balls and it was so busy! With little people! I'll give it some time to calm down I guess.

I had a good - sort of slow - run this morning. 32:49. I also did 5 sets of 5 pushups. Pushups are hard!

That's it - running was the exercise for the day! Which is good - I probably needed a break. I'm worn out. I worried myself awake all night last night, so hopefully I'll rest up tonight.

Back on track!

Well, the good news from the west coast is that the scale was down again! Not where I was last Friday, but I feel better that this was a lot of water weight or something that will easily come off. Well...."easily". All it takes is effort!

I had a good run this morning. 32:29. Almost a minute off of my time yesterday! Then I did lunges and squats. Six hills at lunch and a walk after work! So lots of exercise again.

We went into a beautiful neighborhood after work. The north side of Kensington. Amazing! We will go there if you like next time you visit.

Do you like dates? I got some when we were in Borrego and they are the best I have ever had. I am forcing myself to not eat them all at once! But, let's face it, they make sugar out of those things! I'm limiting myself to two a day. Although yesterday I had four.........Well, two is my goal! As in, I'm going to eat them all till I only have two left!!!

Like I said, a good run this morning. It smells so beautiful out right now because so much is flowering. Really enjoyable.

Catch Up

I've got all kinds of catching up to do!

Friday I had a really great run at the beach. It was an enjoyable morning, all the way around! I relaxed and took my time drinking coffee. Then headed over to Coronado and ran on the beach for about 32 minutes.

Saturday we had an excellent bike ride!

Sunday - I exercised my stomach by eating a lot!

I had such a great trip - as you know! But I am sad to report that I had dismal results when I stepped on the scale this morning. It was pretty disheartening.

But I'm back on track. I ran this morning - 33:23 was my time. A bit longer but that's OK. I really kind of felt uncomfortable once I got on the road. I felt like I had just finished a gigantic meal. But I powered through it!

Did pushups upon my return. This week I am doing 5 sets of 5. Working on it! I did crunches, too. Did some hills at lunch. Then Bart and I went for a walk after work.

Lots of exercise today! Which is good. And it all felt good and was enjoyable.

Good Morning

Good morning. Another week! Time flies when you're having fun. And even when you're not!

Not sure how long I jogged this morning because my finger caught the iPod cable coming out of my pocket, pulled it out, and stopped the music! Hate it when that happens!!! Am pretty sure it was 16+ minutes though. Felt like 26 this morning for some reason. Took Elton with me today.

Bright and sunny here this morning but only 31 now and not going to get much warmer they say. I might go outside this afternoon and piddle around some anyway. Have two blueberry bushes to plant. Hope they grow. Came in the mail on Saturday. I'm not sure the frost is out of the ground yet though but it says to plant them right away so I will.

Have a good day back at work!

Who Knew???

Did you know that you "should" have named me Olivia? Yeah, I never figured that either. Facebook just told me. That is why I won't live my life based on "shoulds"!

Boy did I have a tough time getting out of bed this morning! My alarm went off and I snoozed. But actually I dismissed! I knew it deep down and I did not fall back to sleep. Got up about ten minutes later then usual. Sleeping in is bitter because it cuts into my coffee time!

But I was on the road by 7, as usual. Time was 32:52, which is three seconds better then yesterday I believe.

Then I did the usual Calisthenics. Really challenging!

Some hills at lunch. It is good to go out and get some sun and have some blood pumping in the middle of the day.

We are heading to the desert tomorrow! I'm really excited. We are going to get lots of biking in. Yes, I have a helmet! I'm planning on running before we leave tomorrow. I'm also going to bring my running duds with me. I may (or may not!) put some miles in!

I'll report back Sunday!

Back to it

I got up bright and early this morning! I feel so much better that I got up and ran. I think I actually felt like I was letting myself down.

My time today was 32:55. Longer, but I took some time off so it is to be expected! I also did pushups.

I also ran some hills at lunch.

So, a good exercise day!
