Week 13

Week of November 23rd - 29th

Monday (no run)
Still feeling sick. In fact, it came back with a vengeance and I actually felt like I might puke! So, no running today.

Tuesday (no run)
Still recovering, but feel much, much better! I will try to run later this week.

Wednesday (30 minutes)
Ugh! No run. Rainy outside.

Thursday (30 minutes)
It POURED last night and on into the day it was all sprinkling. Soooo.....no run. But, I did pig out, which means that I'll definitely be running all next week to prepare for my next race.

Friday (60 minutes)

Saturday (20 minutes)

Week 12

Week of November 16th - 22nd

Monday (30 minutes)
Ran today and it felt good. I actually felt like I was floating. I think I tried to pick it up a bit and it just felt really, really good. My knees aren't acting up and my body feels fit and toned. Yay!

Tuesday (60 minutes)
I'm sick and it really sucks. No running today.

Wednesday (rest/walk)
Still feel poopy.

Thursday (30 minutes)
No run today.

Friday (60 minutes)
No run.

Saturday (30 minutes)
I will be running today. Just not sure when! I'm not going to be running my 10K because of the sickness that overtook me this week. I just don't feel ready and I don't want to spend the money when I know it won't be a great race. Soooo......I'm looking forward to my next 5K in December. I may just do a 10K in December instead to make up for this missed one. We'll see what I can find out there. I ran about 30 minutes today. I went up Anza to Chase and then went east up the hill and back the way I came. It felt good to do a different route for a change. It also just felt good to get out there and run again after being so sick. Unfortunately, Marli is sick....she's been throwing up all day. Poor baby girl.

Week 11

Week of November 9th - 15th

Monday (30 minutes)
Had to run in the early evening during the twilight hours. I think that is so pretty. I ran quickly because it was getting dark and I didn't want to be out too late past dark by myself. It felt great and I'm glad I have the time to run this week!

Tuesday (60 minutes)
Whew! It did feel good today. I can tell that I missed a week, though, so I just took it slowly and kept a good pace.

Wednesday (rest/walk)
Didn't run or walk today. But, I did clean the house.....does that count as exercise???

Thursday (30 minutes)
Ran around Granite again, but instead of doing it twice, I just ventured off onto side streets. Felt good.

Friday (40 minutes)
Didn't run my full 60 minutes today as I had a doctor appointment and I had my holiday open house tonight. I felt a bit fatigued. I had a lot going on this week. So, I shortened it to 40 minutes instead. It did feel good and I at least got to run this week! Better than nuttin'!

Saturday (20 minutes)

Week 11

Week of November 2nd - 8th

Monday (60 minutes)
Election Eve......been busy! Didn't get a chance to run today since Coco had to work and I got a phone call from a man who wanted a gift basket delivered to his wife for her birthday this morning. So, I had to quickly put together a basket for her. I also had a choir rehearsal, teach a dance class, and then attend a meeting about a GOTV movement that I'm taking part in tomorrow. I'm excited for tomorrow and can't wait to see how things play out!!! Hopefully, I'll get to run!

Tuesday (no run)
Does running from my car, into the polling place, back to my car and then repeated several times, count as running for the day??? Probably not. Oh well. Super busy and we now have our new President Elect Obama.

Wednesday (30 minutes)
Just ran around Granite and took it slowly. Felt great. It's chilly outside, so it's very nice running weather.

Thursday (no run)
Marli's birthday was today! Yay! Unfortunately, I was trying to keep her fever of over 100 degrees down all day and it still hasn't broken yet. Soooooooo.......no running for me.

Friday (60 minutes - no run)
Well, I guess we should call this week a week of rest. Hmmm.......so busy yesterday and Marli was still sick. Had to take her to the doctor for her well baby appointment. Her stats are:

20.1 lbs
30 inches
totally healthy all around!

I'll be running next week, though!!!

Saturday (20 minutes - no run)
Marli's birthday party is today! Yay! She is feeling better, so that is a good thing. :o) No run. Boo!!!!
