A run with a good friend

Wow! What a difference a friend makes. My friend Judy came over at 6 this morning and we did 3 miles. Almost felt easy. Having a friend kept my mind off the actual running! Feeling good. Going early is worth it because it really beats the heat!

Weigh in

I forgot to post last night.
I weighed in last night...
Lost some more poundage!
Total loss is
-8.8 (in 5 weeks)

I think the decision to have my weigh in day to be Monday helps keep me on track throughout the week, especially the weekend!!!

Tuesday Challenge

I set my alarm for 6:15 this morning. I woke up at 6:10!! I got ready and got out the door. I decided last minute to only do 2 miles because of my small hiatus last week. I will do 3 on Thursday. I was totally surprised that the whole time I felt so comfortable. While I was running I thought of a challenge for my sister! :) I want to challenge you to run one mile this week. I know, its hot. So, get up early! You don't have to go to work...so you could get back in bed or take a nap! Mostly, I'm bored of reading my own posts on this blog!!! Love you.

A whole week...

since I ran last.
I got sick early last week and it kept me from going.
The ugly truth is, the more days that go by without running the more I believe that I cannot do it. Its just too hard. Takes too long. Too hot. Too...you get the point.
I just did 2 miles today. It was hot so I let Chloe spray me with the hose when I got home. If I had a pool I would have jumped in. The run felt good. Now, I hope to be back on track.
Happy Sunday!

Happy 4th of July!!

My little family plus in-laws were cheering me on in front of my house which was lined with American flags thanks to Becky!!!! It was fun!!!!! 5K great way to start a holiday. Up next...stay tuned.
Hey Jennifer...Ya there?! Just checking.

Pre-race

It has rained LOTS this week. I got the chance to get in 2 miles tonight. I felt good and fast. The fast part has me mentally preparing to start smart Sunday morning. I don't want to start too fast. This will take some work. Its easy to get caught up in the atmosphere of the event and not have your head and your pace in check. I think that being in registered is my main motivation these days...whatever it takes. Happy 4th of July weekend!
