I woke up this morning when the alarm went off and thought it was Thursday. Oh how delighted I was to figure out it was Friday! Usually it’s the other way around… I think it’s later in the week, only to realize it’s still only Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever. Given how long the first [...]
It’s funny how you can sleep through an entire night and still feel tired the next morning. I was out by 9:30 and didn’t wake up until the alarm went off at 5:15 this morning…almost 8 hours of glorious sleep and I am DRAGGING today!
Yesterday was the usual. I have a running buddy on Mondays [...]
This was a big month for me! I can’t believe July is already over and August is here. DH starts back to school at the end of August which means an adjusted schedule but we’ll make it work. Thank goodness he only has three more classes left and then he’s done.
So, let’s see. In July…
I [...]
Now that I can run over 3 miles and sustain running for longer than half an hour, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about looking ahead post-5k race and what that will entail. I like Hal Higdon’s 10k novice training program and think I could easily increase my mileage in about 10 weeks if I [...]
I hit a MAJOR running milestone yesterday. DH mapped out a 4-mile route in our neighborhood and since I hadn’t run since Friday, I decided yesterday afternoon to just suck it up and do it even though I’d rather be lazy. The route has a lot of hills, some pretty major and I thought for [...]
This little competition we have going on has done wonders for my motivation. Yesterday I worked late, it was 90 degrees out by the time I got home and all I wanted to do was take a nap, but I strapped on my running shoes anyway and did some speed/hill work around the neighborhood. I’ve [...]
Work politics! Ugh! SERENITY NOW a la George Kastanza! LOL
I just keep reminding myself only 7 more work days until vacation… naturally they are probably going to release new software while I’m gone, so from now until my last day, I’ll be busy as heck. Oh well. It will make the time go by faster.
My [...]
Apparently, that’s what I told myself yesterday, anyway. I had my running gear at work and being so close to the park, I decided to run the 5k anyway, despite my butt muscles hurting. I figured I would do horribly, but I actually had my best time to date. I even conquered 75% of the [...]
I woke up this morning with a double-whammy: someone punched me in the uterus (TOM crampage!) and sore-as-all-get out muscles in my BUTT (and legs and…shoulders?) The hike went wonderfully yesterday…despite a few swear words and a couple whines about how I can’t make it any farther. We conquered 5.6 miles in 3 1/2 hours [...]
Looking over my May spreadsheet for my weight loss, I’ve lost just under 4 lbs so far for the month of May so far with a week left to go. I knew May was going to be tough, but I should have done better with the eating. It’s just under 5 weeks until vacation and [...]
