Great Run!

I must be feeling better! Today I ran 4.5 miles - just for the heck of it! Well, that's not quite true. I was at such an exciting part of my audio book and almost done with it that I really ran because I wanted to keep listening. And, yep, now it's time to start the 6th and final audiobook! Slow pace, but that's normal now! In fact, I'm gonna stop saying it! A cross country team ran by me (Ok, technically, they passed me!) and said, "Keep it up!" which is sweet.

Weekend update!

I guess I forgot to post yesterday! I did run - 3 miles. It really wasn't great. Felt hard and it was slow. But I think I was probably still in recovery mode from late night of work on Friday. Anyway, I did it. Today I went to the gym and I didn't want to go! But, as usual, I was glad when I got there. Lifted weights and did the elliptical. Rained all day today! Really fun!

Cape Coral - Outside Run

Hey, this is great!!  Ran around the neighborhood this morning.  Just gorgeous.  About 60 I think, sunny, no wind.  Perfect.  Kind of a slow run though but at least I was outside!

Quick Little Hills

Super busy day today so I just ran some short hills (intervals!) for 20 minutes. Push tonight so I will be working at 1:30 and probably won't run tomorrow!

Gym Again

And it was fun again! 2:30 is the time to go. It's slow then. So I lifted weights. Did some new leg stuff. I bet I'll feel it tomorrow! After weights I did the elliptical for 20 minutes. I'm a lot better but not quite there yet. Less coughing but today I sound like a 60 year smoker sometimes! Last night I took a half serving of Mucusnex (I don't know how to spell that!) because I kept coughing after I was in bed. So I'm going to take another one tonight before I lay there coughing for an hour!

Back in Business!

Or I'm pretending to be! Actually, as the day progressed, I am more pretending. I am better, no question. But I have such a headache this afternoon and evening. Maybe it's just all the changing pressures in my body! I ran today - Kensington route. Only a couple slackers still have decorations up! Good run. Decent pace. Then I did ab stuff when I got back. I'm feeling flabby after these days of moping!

I did something!

Yay! I went to the gym today! First time I've done any exercise in days. I'm not 100% but I feel so much better than I have been. I thought the gym would be busier today with post-new year people, but I suppose I was early enough that they were still working. I lifted weights. It was really challenging and I used some lighter weights. I can tell I've been off. And then I did the elliptical. I was going to do 30 minutes but only did 20. I really wanted to cough! And I didn't feel like hacking at the gym. Headache is having a bit of a resurgence here tonight, so I'm happy to have nice brand new sheets to sleep on! That cures all ills! I went to the office today and was relieved that the entire office is already sick! So I fit right in.

Same Old Story

Did my usual again and it was ok.  Didn't have a good attitude about it but I got it done.  Just didn't feel like it this morning but glad I did it now that it's done.

2 Miles Today

I got 2 miles in on the TM this morning but my lungs were still burning so glad that was my goal for today.  Didn't start coughing like I did yesterday though so I think there's some progress being made.  I did all 50 pushups and situps, too, and that went easier than the running.  Not 100% yet but getting there.

Half a Run...

...is better than no run at all.  I think.  I guess.  I hope.

I started out fine but my lungs started to burn at a 1/2 mile and by 1.5 miles I was starting to cough so I called it a day.  Did half my pushups and situps, too, so it was not a full meal deal but it's a start.  I do feel very, very much better so I know it will continue to get better, too.

Hang in there!  It is survivable!

Good Run!

I'm so sorry you're sick! But I'm really glad you went to the doctor and got medicine. Seems like it's making a change! I ran on your treadmill today and it was good. I ran 3 miles in about 32 minutes.

Little run!

I didn't do 3 miles today. My excuse is that I knew Carter wanted to get on the treadmill so I got off after about 25 minutes. But, really, I think I just lost interest! It happens. Not sure if I'll do anything tomorrow since I'll be going to get Bart and also going to The Party!

Stuff and things!

I did stuff! And Things! I lifted weights today for the first time since I arrived. Thanks for the weights! I can tell I've not been doing that, it was a bit challenging! Today I ran for 20 minutes. A mix of 5.5, 6, and 5.8. Then I walked for 7 more minutes at a slower pace but a 5% incline. You'll be happy to know that Tavi (in my book) accepted the surrender of the Karnem warriors. And I have no idea how to spell the Karnem actually. I've only listened to these books, never read them. Looked it up. Carnim.

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful day! Very fun, very nice to be together, super excellent to sleep in, and I'm happy we can be together to celebrate. I did run today. More than I planned! I thought I would just do 2 miles, but my audiobook was at such a critical point, I did 3. I increased my pace today, which is neat. I was doing 5.5 and today I did 5.8. Getting better! I really should lift weights, I haven't since I've arrived. Maybe tomorrow.

Quick Run

Just wasn't really into it! So I ran 20 minutes and that was that. As you know!

I did it!

I think the hardest part of running is the getting started! I really had to talk myself into it today! But I did it and am glad. Pretty cozy downstairs. When I first came in here after running it was way too hot!

Fun Run!

Well, I really didn't think I was going to end up running today, but I finally did. As you know! Mostly I wanted to listen to my audio book. As usual! It was a good run. 5.5 at 1% incline. More tomorrow! I am REALLY happy to be here!

Not the best but...

...and speaking of butts, I felt kind of numb back there this morning especially while I was running.  I kept going but hung on to the rail the whole time.  Still feels kind of numb back there.  I did it, however, plus my exercises.

Glad to have you here!

Well....

I was all set last night to go to the gym this morning but looked it up on FB this morning and they are closed while they move into their new building!  Closed yesterday and won't reopen until Monday at the new place.  However, when I woke up this morning I had (and still have) a mild ache and pain in my right sciattica!  Never had this before so something new.  I HATE getting old!!!!  But I think I now what caused it and I sure won't do that again!  So, will take a day of rest while I wait to drive to the airport.

Post Rain Run

Yeah, we're having wet times again! Forecasted to rain all day but that's not what happened. Shocking, I know! We had good rain till 7 am and then it dried up. And then it cleared up. I had a really nice run out there! See you tomorrow!!
