Sweatin'!

Woo! Hoo!
I had a VERY strong run today! I only ran 3, but I shaved off an entire 2 mins off my normal time. Not bad! Not bad! hahaha!

It's getting warm already today. In fact, it is now just 9:02AM and its already in the 70's.

Well, I've got a busy day ahead of me so I'd better run.

I'll write again soon!!!

Dog Tired...

That's it! I'm tired!
I'm staying up too late at night these days.
I need to get my rest. I will go to bed at a decent time tonight so I'm nice and refreshed in the morning.

That's all I have to report today. No workout. No NOTHIN'!

See ya!

Easy, Breezy 6 Today....

Good morning!
Well, I took yesterday off, as planned and got lots of rest.
I went to church and then home to work on a project, but no physical work.

My day started early. I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back.
My running partner sent me a text at 5 to signal she was up and getting dressed.
I got up, took a vitamin and ate a bowl of oatmeal. I left home to meet her at 5:45am.

We met at about 6:10AM and ran 6 miles. This was one of my strongest runs!
So I'm trying to figure out the reason why. It wasn't that I'd gotten enough rest, because I didn't.
I don't know what the difference was today, but, in any case, it was a strong and fulfilling run.
Can't wait to go tomorrow!!!

My eating yesterday was ooookaaay. I ate good things, but a bit too much of it. I also messed up by eating about 8 pieces of licorice! We have a big tub of it here and it's such a temptation.

Tomorrow I will focus on my upper body training. Then Weds I'll be back on the road.

Check in with me later! And why haven't you written????

Ten Miles and Counting...

Well, I fell a little short of my goal of 14 miles today.
I ran only 10 instead. I'm feeling the effects of not getting enough rest last night.
I knew better, but I was working on something and I just didn't want to stop!

The weather is pleasant today....a perfect day for running.

I went to the farmers market afterwards and bought 1/4 lbs of roasted almonds, an apple, an English cucumber, a red and a yellow tomato and two pluots. I ate one of the plutos and thought about someone very special, and listened to live music being played by one of a number of rotating musicians at the market. I was driven to tears briefly when they played one of my late mother's favorites..."Has Anybody Seen My Gal..." She used to play that song on our piano when I was a little girl. After that, I felt compelled to contribute money in the tip jar. I avoided eye contact to prevent a full on weeping outpour of emotion.

I'm home now and will focus on eating correctly, and will go to bed tonight at a reasonable hour. I think I will take tomorrow off, and get back in the swing of things on Monday.

God's blessings to you!

By the way....Why haven't you commented on my blog yet?????

Good Morning!

Well, I'm off to a great start this morning!
I met my running partner for 6 miles this morning.
It was a nice, smooth run this time. I could have easily gone another 2 or 3.
My goal was to run easy today in prep for 14 miles with TNT tomorrow.

My eating has been good. Did well yesterday and my weight this morning (116.6)
reflects that.

Breakfast: Bowl of oatmeal
Snack (which Im eating now) is an apple and cottage cheese.
Lunch: Tuna, Brown Rice and Broccoli
Snack: Peach and cottage cheese
Dinner: Salmon, Yam and Broccoli

I'm glad to have my Cottage Cheese back! I'm glad, glad, glad! I missed it!

Well, I'm off to start my day.
I plan to go to bed early to prepare for tomorrows run.

Peace!
