Week 28

Monday (30 min. walking)
Yay me! I went walking today with Marli. Just a quick 30 minute walk, but it felt good to get out there in the sunshine and off my patootie! Hope to run tomorrow. Ibis is finally going to the dentist, so I'll be out with Marli tomorrow as I don't have to be at the bakery and my only dance class isn't until 4:15 in the afternoon. Yay for good sleep and exercise!

Tuesday
No run. Grrrrr......

Wednesday
I am proud of myself! I got up at 7am this morning and went running for 20 minutes, worked at the bakery and taught two dance classes. Woo hoo! Also, Ibis got his job back at La Jolla Electric, so he's up earlier, which gives me the motivation to get up earlier too, instead of snuggling up and sleeping until 9. :o) Will be running tomorrow, too.

Week 27

Well, last week got away from me.....I started working at the bakery starting at 9am, so to be up, showered and made up and hair done to go to the bakery, I just don't have the energy to get up and run. I know that by running, I'll have more energy, but having Ibis home sleeping in doesn't help much! I'm still dancing daily at my dance classes, but that doesn't give me near the workout that a good run does. I'm figuring out my bakery schedule tomorrow with the boss, so I can actually get a good schedule for running down. Even though I didn't run today (Tuesday) I did do some leg exercises and pushups this evening while watching the Biggest Loser. That show always makes me want to stretch and do something while I'm watching! Tomorrow, I'll probably run in the evening since it's lighter out later now. :o)

Week 26

To start off, I had a wonderful moment of gracefulness this past Saturday. We were all at the Bueno's getting ready to go to Tristan's t-ball game. Ibis was waiting in the street in the truck with Marli and I helped Annya strap Mia into the carseat. After that, I was running down the driveway to the truck and the next thing I knew, I was flying through the air and landed THUD! on the ground and slid into the street on my hands. I stayed on the ground, contemplating the embarrassment factor and then decided to see if I was actually hurt. My left hand is all scratch up and was bleeding. That's the only visible token from my fall. On the inside, since I landed on my chest and hip, I'm bruised and very, very sore from the fall. I couldn't even laugh much since it hurt too much! Sooo....due to my display of grace, I am very sore and so far, have not run this week. UGH! Hopefully, my poor body will be up to it later this week. :o/

Week 25

Monday (30 minutes)
Went running around Granite with Ibis, Marli, and Coco. It felt great. I've been sick with a cold, so I felt a little fatigued this morning, but overall, it really did feel great to get back out there in the sunshine and run!

Tuesday (30 minutes)
FREE PANCAKES AT IHOP! So, I'll be running and then off to eat! Yummy! Just got back from IHOP. Very good and tasty. My run this morning was with Ibis. Coco wasn't feeling great, so he and I just did the figure 8 around Granite (about 2.8 miles). He has such long legs that it's hard for him to go my pace and really hard for me to go his pace. So, he stayed a bit ahead of me and waited on the corners until I caught up. I held steady though and we ran about a 10 minute mile. Not too bad considering I haven't been running consistently. But, this week is a different story!

Wednesday (30 minutes)
Went running around Granite again. Feeling better each day!

Week 24

Monday
RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY! COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY!

Tuesday
No running, but danced 4 dance classes, so I got a bit of a workout.

Wednesday
Again....didn't run....it rained.

Thursday
I had my 4 dance classes, then I had a showcase in the evening for my school that finished up this week. So, really had no time to run.

Friday (45 minutes brisk walking)
I did get to walk today with Coco and Marli! Yay! Also, I'll be walking tomorrow at Balboa Park, so I'll get a good workout in then, too.

Saturday (brisk walking)

Week 23

Monday (25)
Ran in the early evening and it was great! I just ran down Anza and then left on Chase up the hill and then back. It was a short, but good run. Ibis is home now everyday since he was laid off AGAIN! Oy. Oh, well....things will be better soon!

Tuesday
No run....too busy with dance. I get a good work out with that anyway.

Wednesday (30)
Went running this morning around Granite. There were kids in P.E. walking around Granite and I passed them 3 times. The teacher was happy to see me running and showing the kids that walking is nuttin' compared to running. The kids were like, "Sheesh! She's still running???" It was pretty funny. I ran for 30 minutes and I'm slowly building up my base. By the end of the month I need to be running 60 minutes so that I can do well at the 10K on March 14th. We'll see!

Thursday
No run. Just dance!!!!

Friday (30)

Week 22

Monday
Taught a dance class today....might go walking today. We'll see if I get around to it.

Tuesday
No run today. Too busy.

Wednesday (30)
Yes!!! Went running around Granite for about 30 minutes. Man, that felt good! I'm feelin' it though in my legs. I haven't done that for a while. Need to stretch out and get ready for another run tomorrow morning. I will be running a 10K in Mission Bay with some friends from San Diego Opera in March, so I need to get a little serious again! I was going strong for a while there, but I need to get back in the swing of things and not let my busy schedule stand in the way. Here's to running more!

Thursday (30)
Well, I didn't run, but I did walk for about 40 minutes. A good, fast-paced walk around the Bueno's home. Definitely running tomorrow. I don't feel too bad about missing running on Tuesdays and Thursdays since I teach 4 dance classes and I'm dancing right alongside the kids!

Friday (30)
Rain, rain, go away...... Yep, raining all day. Boo!!!! No running for me. It was chilly, too!

Saturday (20)
I will do my best to run this evening. No promises, but I NEED to run!
