Busted out the Cardio DVD

I saw a week or so ago that someone else had busted out their cardio video that had not been out of the wrapper. Well last night I broke my video out of the wrapper. Yes I have had this video since December. It is the Biggest Loser - Cardio Max video. I must say I feel pretty good today, although is still early.

I am not trying to plan but I sure hope today after work I can get in a couple miles.

Anyone have any big plans for Mothers Day?

Gotta run for now...not really it is just time for breakfast.

It is a new week!

I am not going to dwell on last week. Lets just move on!

I ran yesterday 2 miles without stopping and it felt great. The weather was perfect once again. I ran my usual little run, but ran it the opposite the way I usually run. I think the next time I get to run I will take my camera. I run the streets of our little town (Population 4,652).

This week I am not setting any type of schedule. Although my dear daughter does not have any track meets this week. Only a dentist appointment and hair appointment. My husband has volunteered to pick her up each day afterschool so that I can get some gym or run time in around 3pm each day. What a great guy I have. He knows that I really want to run in the 5K that is coming up at the end of this month.

Tonight will be catch up night on all the post I missed last week.

Happy Running!!

Beginning of a great week!

Okay today I made it to the gym - 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and a 30 minute walk on the treadmill.

Not such a bad start to a new week.

I ran across this race Run with Wife Race and Relax Contest. It looks like fun. I would someday like to go to other cities to run.

One day down and six more to go this week. It is going to be a rough week. Tomorrow is a long day, Wednesday is an afternoon at the Royals baseball game. Thursday is new do day(getting my hair done) and Dan E has a track meet. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are looking good.

Happy Monday!

I must Run!

Today starts a new week! I am so glad!

Nope I did not run yesterday. What is wrong with me? I know....I just got lazy and it was cold outside. I could have run on the dreadmill or did cardio, but no I did other things around the house.

I didn't even crack the new book I have...Run Like A Mother.

So, today starts a new week. I will not plan any runs. I do have a 5K schedule I was trying to follow. I think today is a day off?? I will do something just not sure what? I now feel sluggish...YUCK!!!

I don't think I have ever mentioned that I love to scrapbook. Well I do when I have time. But anyway the reason I bring this up is that over at Running Diva Mom she has a giveaway for scrapbooking your accomplishments. Check it out!

Hope everyone has a great week.

Week and Run Like a Mother

Why is it on my busiest days of the week I can run. Then on the days that are my least busy I fall apart and don't run a lick? I don't get it and I am not going to dwell on it. I am just going to run starting again tomorrow. My last run was on Tuesday:(

Wednesday night I don't remember what happened? Thursday was my daughters track meet, Friday I ate too much to even think about running and Saturday I went to my sons football game and took a nap. Saturday it rained most of the day.

I did go to the Borders book store this evening. I was just looking around and not for anything in particular. I had checked online and even at the store a few weeks ago to see if they had the book Run Like A Mother....no such luck. Tonight I was just milling around waiting on my daughter and decided to check and see if the book or some other running book might interest me. I am very excited to start reading the book.

Although I did not have a very good week of running...I have now been running for one month. I am excited. I am hoping this week that I can ad a bit to my run. I would like to start running 2.5 miles each time I run. It is supposed to rain tomorrow.

New Week

Yesterday was my day off from any workouts or running.

Today I had to work late but decided that I was going to get a run in some how. My daughter was at a track meet. I would have loved to have gone to her track meet but work would just not allow me to do so. I run a newspaper and Tuesday is the day was send the paper to print. I am dog tired. I brought sandwiches home for supper. I ate half a sandwich and then headed out to run.

It was a great night for a run. The air was nice and cool. I took the same route I did on Sunday. It was busy, I had to stop a couple times because of traffic. So I ran 2 miles at a pace of 11:23. My run felt pretty good especially after a tough day at work.

Hope everyone is having a great week! Even if it is only Tuesday.

Back on Track and Thanks

First, I would like to thank everyone who has posted on my blog and started following me. I enjoy reading all of your blogs.

Yesterday I walked one mile and ran one mile. It was okay. I did feel better afterward and spent the rest of the day getting ready for my son and his friends to come from college.

Today I got back on track. I was up early...why? I don't know? I was up at 5am finally got out of bed at 5:30. Watched the movie Julie & Julia until 7:30, ate a light breakfast and at 9:30am I was out the door. Before leaving I went on-line and mapped out a run. I wanted to run 2 miles today. I didn't want a bunch of hills and I really just wanted to test the waters of a 2 miler on pavement. The weather was perfect. Can I just say
I DID IT!!! I ran 2 miles without stopping and a time of 11:03per mile. I was so excited. It felt great! I can honestly say I am back on track and this will be a great week!

Monday - Gym
Tuesday - Run
Wednesday - Gym or home exercising
Thursday - off
Friday - Gym or run
Saturday - Run early morning

Again thank you! Have a great week!
