2 mile walk this evening

Really need to start getting out earlier... While I had the breeze it was nice, when I didn't it was WARM. Also time to focus on drinking the water - drinking entirely too much soda... But last night when I finally got time to eat dinner (LATE) I wanted to grab junk and I told myself that if I wanted the scale to drop that I had to start making an effort to eat good foods. Made a nice salad and ate it. Win!

Temp: 65*

Wind: S @ 16

2.8 miles with neighbor J

doing things a little backwards today - the walk was a "don't scream at the co-workers" walk.


got through chapter 2 and all but 10 pages of chapter 3 in my cert book last night. Good progress. Hoping for at least 4 chapters a week. Not as interesting as my Patricia Cornwell "fun" books but gotta make an effort.

Bike, strength (abs at least) and a walk on tap.

Put a couple fall half mary's on the plan since I think I can get up close to that mileage with a little work ethic and discipline. I think I need something to focus on to get going. Today was an off day - think I am going to at least start with only trying to do something 6 days a week and taking Sundays to spend with hubby as a free day or another day of the week. Focusing on doing 7 right now is probably going to be too much. We will see how this goes.

Some shopping and Olive Garden for lunch (ate way too much and need to get the gluttony in check before I am huge). Had a fun time. Weather last night wasn't fun - got some nice size hail but over all we are ok. Got almost 2.5 inches of rain in about 30 minutes. But no tornados. Today is supposed to be worst. So far it is going north and west of us but they say we won't be out of the woods until the early morning hours of tomorrow. Yikes!

smacked the "bad" elbow on the corner of the nightstand last night. Had a rough night of sleep since everytime I moved the elbow I had pain down my arm. still painfully this am. Will see what happens.

Was going to run again so I could get 3 runs in this week but the weather outside looks to be getting frightful so it is either the trainer or the TM. Hmm...

Tomorrow - shopping and lunch with my girlfriend Jen. :)

A month from today my neighbor J and I will be getting muddy in the Dirty 30... She is worried she won't do well or she will be the biggest girl there. I am trying to tell her that at races they come in all shapes and sizes, we won't be last, we won't be first, we won't be the smallest or the largest and the most important thing is that we have fun and she remembers how to laugh.. She has been under a LOT of stress lately.


Felt tired yet when I got up to get hubby off to work. Slept a bit with Bo and then got up and went to the grocery store. Got groceries, hit the post office, came home and put the groceries away, changed and went for a run. Same run as Monday, 3 laps, no stop after 2 just kept going.

Thoughts: Too many clothes, there was a bit of a wind going so I had a long sleeve light weight shirt under a t-shirt with shorts. Could have done ok without long sleeves.

Temp: 61 feels like 61*

Winds: S @ 14mph gusting to 19.

will attempt another run today - hips are a bit sore today but nothing that doesn't scream you took a few weeks off.
