High Five

After what seems like an eternity, I ran 5 easy miles this morning. Easy in that I walked the 5 minutes to warm up and then inserted one minute walk breaks after every 4 minute run.

I appreciate all the kind words and advice!! It keeps me from crashing and burning. Whenever my running decreases my waistline increases and that's enough to push any girl over the edge...

Ode to the Elliptical

I am only using you.

I get no joy from you.

Morning Routine

Although I got one of these for Christmas

This is where I do all my running.
The treadmill on the end, we have a love/hate relationship. What you don't see is if you look to the left there is a mirror that runs the length of the wall. At moments of weakness when I don't feel like running it serves as a reminder of why I need to be in the gym. I fear that some of my fellow morning gym goers may think I am vain turning to look in the mirror periodically but it's really one of those "car crash" reflexes. You just can't help but look and think Jesus, Mary, and Joseph is that really what I look like, ugh. If that's the side view, I'd hate to see the view from behind, and so on...

So for now this is where I run 4 days a week. Now I just need to work on days 5, 6, and 7.

Troubled on Tuesday

New batteries, 3 miles, 28:50. Funny how you can run faster when you are trying to quite the worries in your head...
