It’s all a matter of perspective

November 30th, 2011 · No Comments

Today I lost .6 pounds at Weight Watchers. Generally this wouldn’t make me happy, but since my goal this week was simply NOT to gain any weight, it makes me incredibly happy. Yeah for 8 mile runs! Total distance for the month of November 77.78 miles Total miles/time ran on Nov 29, 2011: 3/41:43 Total […]

Bookclub

November 29th, 2011 · 2 Comments

I have bookclub tonight. I’m also suppose to run 4 1/2 miles. You suppose I know these women well enough to show up at a restaurant and eat with them after going on a four and a half mile run. I guess we shall see.  That is currently my plan.

Kindle Fire

November 28th, 2011 · 2 Comments

We’ve had our Kindle Fire for about a week now. I’ve got to admit:  I LOVE it! Yesterday, while I was running my 8 miles on the treadmill, I downloaded and watched a movie from AmazonPrime for free! They have televisions at the health club, and little dealies you are suppose to stick your earbuds […]

Today I ran 8 miles

November 27th, 2011 · No Comments

Today I ran 8 miles. I won’t kid you, it wasn’t “easy.” But it was doable. A year ago, if someone had told me I’d be saying that today, I wouldn’t have believed them. My foot hurts. My hip hurts. My new shoes didn’t come. But I did it. I am impressed with myself today. […]

Weird Day

November 25th, 2011 · No Comments

Today has been kind of odd.  Not bad, just odd. Did my run.  Ordered new shoes. I continue to spend more on running shoes than ones I wear everyday. Hope everyone had a great Black Friday,

Update on the Ice Pack Situation

November 23rd, 2011 · No Comments

I have tried several different ice packs. I have two of these.  This one stays on well but doesn’t stay cold much longer than 30 minutes. I have two of these.  Sort of like the ones above but without the sleeve to hold it on.  I bought them so I could substitute them for the […]

Momma Said There’d Be Days Like This

November 22nd, 2011 · No Comments

Yesterday it was raining, cold; a typical November sort of day. I just couldn’t face the cold and the rain for my run.  I went to the health club. I was cruising along, making good time (for me) and I was almost finished with my run. Then my foot started hurting. And damn but it’s […]

Ice Packs

November 21st, 2011 · No Comments
