Comments: On the older machine, on which I just can’t seem to go as far as on the new machine! Yeah pedometers! The bosses’ bosses’ boss bought everyone under his domain (full time employees) a Pedometer, after the company initiated a walking program. We received ours yesterday after lunch. Very cool! I managed 5,672 steps that day. I’d [...]

Comments: So…what’s up with that: SNOW? This morning as I am letting the dog out to go sniff the yard I am greeted by snow flakes! Time to check the calendar…yep it IS almost May..WTH! So, instead of running outside I plan on running inside, but then somehow decide to pack my running jacket and [...]
Comments: I knew my time would be slow before I headed out the door, but I was fine with that. I orignally planned on running 11, but only had one GU left. I figured I could run 8 instead, but then a time crunch on Sunday reduced that down to 6. No dogs on that [...]
Comments: The song from Daniel Powter “Bad Day” fits today. But I was able to turn it around! I am feeling 100% better after my run, perhaps a bit tired, but I’ll take that. I ran the first mile straight without stopping (10:10) and I haven’t done that since my training for the full marathon [...]
During the times that I don’t play mom/housewife or “speed racer” on the sidewalk I work in a very large company, supporting a director and 5 of his ‘leads’ (plus their employees). As some of you might have read, my boss broke his leg in a skiing accident over a month ago and is still at [...]
Comments: My Garming displayed it’s “Battery Low” sign shortly after I turned it on. I knew I had forgotten something! *Mental note: Charge the Garmin once in a while!* So, about 7 minutes into the run I was ‘on my own’. The run itself was ok; both my calves hurt after about a 1/4 mile [...]
Comments:I felt much better about myself today and went outside. I must add that yesterday I forgot my running hat, and when running at work I feel the need to wear it! Before heading to the gym my legs felt pretty stiff and I was worried that I might be going out too soon, but [...]
Comments: I was gonna go out and run 2 or 3, but after looking at my 1/2 marathon pictures online I felt really fat and decided to stay inside and use the elliptical rider instead. lol After the workout the hubby and I spend the rest of our lunch buying new work shoes. Shoes for the [...]
Comments: I didn’t sleep well the night before…I blame my cat for meowing all night long and scratching on the door, and my daughter for getting up at 5am. How come she won’t get up this early during the week when I need her to? I had decided to run in shorts instead of [...]
Comments: The blisters are better. I can still feel them, but the urge to go outside today won and I promised myself to stop running should it become irritated. The run was nice. I was trying to pretend that is was the first few miles of the 1/2 marathon. Going through a preflight check list [...]
