I Did Something!

As you know, I haven't done a thing for more than a week because of the holiday and then this chest cold.  But today I got on the TM and walked for a whole mile without coughing!!  Not much I know but progress nonetheless!  Hope I continue to improve every day so I can back to some running.

Still At It

I'm still at it most mornings here.  Wishing I could be outside but not in the cards in the foreseeable future.  So managing to "enjoy" the TM!

Going Well

Did my 3 days and then had yesterday off.  Back at it again this morning.  It's winter here, too, so I am running downstairs of course!

I did something!

It is winter here so I drove to the gym and walked in the treadmill.  35 minutes at a high incline.  Then I did some push-ups (not 50, though!!), Planks, and squats.  It felt good. 

Back on my 3-1 schedule

I have decided to go back to my 3 days running, 1 day off schedule.  Means I'm running 6 days out of 7 but not 6 days in a row.  Also gives me a day off to always be looking forward to!  So I have run the last 3 days and today I am off.  How did I spend the time you ask?  I spent it paying bills!  Ugh.  Might go back to running every day!

Ok, Let's Get Back To This!

And that's exactly what I did this morning.  Got back on the TM and did 1.5 miles and then 50 push ups and 50 sit ups.  So I am back in gear.  Managed not to gain any weight during the week in Whitewater but didn't lose any either.  Felt good to be doing something again!

Another German Run

What a nice day it turned out to be!  I woke up to darkness and some sky drips, but it stopped sprinkling and I have had a nice mix of clouds and blue sky.

Went over to the park and ran 5k.  Took the path the opposite direction and realized what a favor I had been doing myself before by taking the longer hill as a down!  But I kept at it and got it done.

Still At It

I haven't thought about posting for a few days but I have been running and exercising every morning.  Did 1.75 miles today so getting back up to my goal of 2 per day.  Also steady at 50 push ups and 50 sit ups every morning. 

I guess I have decided to have Mom buy me a new iPod for Christmas for my music and have gone back to using the Garmin watch with its foot pod to track my runs.  It and our treadmill are very, very close in tracking mileage it seems.  So I may not use the watch except for outside runs after a while here.  I like to know how far I have run and that matters more to me than the time so will continue to do my best to keep track.  Don't see any outdoor running in my future though for a long time.  Snowing here again today!

Anothet German run

Made it to the park again today.  Thought it might rain, but it didn't.  Was really nice, actually!  I saw 2 other runners out there. 

That's my report!

Guten tag from Germany!

Greetings from your Germany runner!  Yep, I went for a run today!  2 miles.  I could sure tell I haven't been running, two miles was as far as I cared to go.

It was fun and such a beautiful day. I'm glad I was able to get outside.

My Vacation is Over!

I have been off the track for 2 whole weeks and it shows!  But those good times are over for me just as they are beginning for you!

I got back on the TM this morning and only did 1 mile and 25 reps of my exercises but it's a start.  Plan to up it a 1/4 mile a day until I'm back to 2 miles and 50/50 of my exercises. 

I will do my best to keep this blog active while you are gone!

I'm still at it, too!

I've been doing some running. Some walking. And, yesterday, I went to the gym! I've been so intermittent with my gym attendance that I can really feel it today. My muscles are pinchy! Not sure what's on tap today. Walk or run. Just depends on how spicy I'm feeling.

Still At It

Still doing my 2 miles and push ups and sit ups every morning.  Nothing new to report except that it's going ok. 

Problem now?  New DQ is SCF is selling 12 ice cream sandwiches for $4.00 and your Mom brought a bag home!  What am I going to do with that girl?

2 miles

I've been doing 2 miles, too, lately.  Either crunched for time or just don't have more pep.  But I've been doing well and my last 2 runs have been without the mask.  Very happy about  that!

Update

Been a whole week since I was here!  I'm going to lose my blog license!

Been running on TM every day but Saturday.  So doing ok.  Still at 2 miles but today finally got back to 50 push ups and 50 sit ups, too.  Been working my way back up to that level so plan to stay there now for a while. 

No fitness center anywhere near Sue's apartment in Boston so hope the weather is ok to do a little running outside.  Will be a challenge because, as you know, I tend to slack off while traveling.  So, we'll see.  During the second week every hotel we're in except for one has a fitness center so hope to use some of them at least.  We leave home 2 weeks from today.  Will spend that night at Holiday Inn near airport for early Tuesday flight.  (Well, early for us!)

Home Again

I did run on their TM in Whitewater on 2 of the 3 mornings while there so glad I did that.  So often I use being away from home as an excuse to be lazy but I didn't do it this time.  Sunday would have been a day off for me at home, too.

Back on my own TM this morning and doing my other exercises, too.  Just have to be consistent and doing something nearly every day.

Another Run

Got in 3 miles today, around the lake. Good run, nice pace. And it was a really nice day out. Glad I was wearing a short sleeved shirt under my long sleeved one. I dressed for brrrrrr but, turns out, it was only brrr. Anyway, that's my report!

Better but not 100%

I do think these meds are working, I just need to figure out the timing. Tomorrow I'm going to take the pill around 8 am. I was reading that it has a 'protective life' of 12 hours. My pharmacist told me to take it at bedtime, and I really can tell a difference. But I think there's not much left in me by the time I run the next day. From what I have read, it's totally fine to take it any time of the day. I ran on Wednesday (3 miles) and today (1.5 miles). And I did some walking today. Might try and do my hike again this weekend. The one my car tire decided it had no interest in driving me to!

Still At It

Been on the TM almost every morning for 2 miles plus the push ups and sit ups.  Finally feel like I'm getting back in the groove.  Of course, now we are going to Whitewater for the weekend so that might throw me off.  But their TM is working as far as I know so will try to keep at it.  Have also lost about 4 lbs since coming home from Montana so glad about that.

Good Morning

I've been "running" outside but can't seem to do a full 2 miles out there without some walking.  All in head?  Maybe.  Anyway, today I'm back on the TM and 2 miles got done.  So maybe I will just stay inside for a week or so and see how it goes.
