FINALLY BACK FROM THE BLAHS!

Saturday, January 31st 2009

It seems like it has been forever since I have posted. I don’t really even know why. I just got sort of “out of sorts” and didn’t really want to participate in much of anything…just getting done what was necessary…even though I was still logging (for the most part) and exercising.

Today was my first day of the Runners Group at our local “Luke’s Locker” running store. I was pretty nervous to see how I was grouped, etc. It was GREAT! Hubby actually went last week and got my ru...

A little frustrated on the weight front…but GREAT run day!

Sunday, January 18th 2009

My weight has been really crazy this month and I have no idea why. Those of you that run 3-4 miles 5-6 times a week may be able to give me some insight…I am eating back my calories, and maybe this is a mistake…I know lotz of people only eat back about ½ of their exercise calories. I may need to try that. Here is how my month has been:

Jan 1 - 156.0
Jan 15 – 151.6
Jan 18 -- 154.4

On a more positive note. My run today was fabulous. I was really surprised how much I enjoye...

Had to add another photo to today:



Hubby got me this hat at the race...I went with a bare head...cold weather requires hats, who knew? At the end of the race they gave us all ne...

5K on Saturday...am I prepared?

Wednesday, January 7th 2009

This may sound silly, but I am not too worried about the 5K...3.11 miles is not that far, and even if I didn't run it, there will be people walking. The group that is handling the run is called RAW (Runners and Walkers).

Someone had suggested I go and check out the location ahead of time. I still want to do that, but the days are slipping away.

Love my new Garmin 405 for the outdoor running but I am disappointed that I cannot track my calories burned using it on my treadmill with...
