Continuing to Train

I did the longer run/walk training session this morning. Roger accompanied me, which makes it so much easier for me to do continue working for some reason. I ran my farthest distance, which isn't all that far, but I am proud of myself. I never thought I would be a runner, but am liking it. The book "Running for Mortals" really helped to put it in perspective for me. I realize I don't have to be an elite athlete to be a runner, and I'm not alone. I like that.

Monday's are rest days, but I'll be back at it stronger than ever on Tuesday. Happy Sunday!

Wicked 10k Training

I signed up for the Wicked 10k and have begun training. Training was somewhat derailed during our vacation, but I am back on track. I find that I feel stronger every day I walk or run and am optimistic about the end results. The end result being that I am stronger, leaner and more healthy. I'm not asking for a rail-thin body, just good health.

Vacation

I walked and walked all over Louisville last week. It was terrific. I ate like crap, had too much beer, and managed to lose a pound! Yeah, me.

I did a power walk today. It has been awhile. It felt good. Back on track!

IPod Random

Walking today, I listened to my IPod on random. It was fun to hear such a different variety of music. I decided to only forward through Holiday songs. I heard music I didn't even know I had. I'm now listening to Weezer's "Buddy Holly Song." Great way to end the walk.

Equation

Stress+Sun+No Workout+Smoothie Lunch+Cheez-Its+Late Supper+2 Buffalo Wings+1 Nacho+1/2 Blue Cheeseburger+1 Cup of French Fries+1 Margarita=Hives, Poor Sleep, Upset Tummy and Hard Workout the Next Day!!!

I Need a Break

So today I will closely watch my calories, walk around Ghent a little and rest my weary muscles. Tomorrow...it will be raining, so back to the gym for cardio and strength. Woohoo. I'll be back outside on Tuesday, hopefully.

Back Outside

I am so happy to be walking outside again. I hope I can continue working out in the great outdoors. I feel much happier about it. that's all for now.
