6 fan-TAS-tic Miles!!!

...it was SO beautiful yesterday...(actually today too, but I was at work so it kind of doesn't count...) anyway, I went out for a run...not knowing just how far I would go. It's been a couple of weeks since I have run consistently, or anything remotely resembling long...and after Saturday's placeholder 2 miler, well...let's just say I was glad to be out there again. I was feeling really good...I just kept running and I did 6 miles for the first time in awhile. I really need to do this more often...I just do. But like everyone else I know, I also need more hours in the day. Damn.

....and...I'm back.

Only ran a couple of miles today, four last week that I did not log...but I have no real structure or goals right now in my running, other than to just do it, like the ad says, for the near future. The one goal I do have is to avoid joining a gym again for as long as possible and to just run and use the pull-up bar at home. I could be alot better at that...but it was never my forte. That's ok...I'll get there eventually. I would love to try rock climbing but with my upper body strength lacking in the way that it currently is...I just don't know....

With a pandemic of swine flu and the winter months coming, I think I'm better off getting my fitness with outdoor activities for the moment. I hope to ski this winter at least a few times and train for another marathon. I just haven't decided when. Manana....

Takin' a break

At least I ran yesterday...ok, so it was only 4 miles, but I did not run last weekend at all, and just 4 miles one day on the previous weekend...time to get myself back in gear...

Playing Hookey

I was supposed to run this evening with my daughter when we returned home from work....we both got home around 7 pm and looked at each other and said...."nahhhh..." So I guess this weekend I'll get back in gear. My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this past week and for some reason, birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries are just a time for me to seriously slack....and enjoy it. And I did.

Only Four....

I went out for a 4 mile run yesterday morning before the long list of weekend activities started. Glad I did but I wish I could have made that happen today too. Between stuff planned and crazy cold rainy winds that turned to a bit of snow this evening...I just don't know. The weather has turned here and I hope I don't let that get in the way....

Oh, and I almost forgot...

...I ran for 5+ miles yesterday in my beautiful, historic little town. Even the gravestones in the cemetary I run by were decorated with pumpkins and looked lovely in the crisp, October sunlight...hope to squeeze a few miles in tomorrow night...

Running works best...

It helps me to shake off the week, and then re-energize for the upcoming week. What more can I say? I ran a little more than 4 with my daughter today through our lovely historic town which looks radiant with fall foliage. Maybe 4 tomorrow, maybe more...we'll see.
