Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Looks like the the formatting buttons here have changed a bit. FEAR CHANGE!
10 on the treadmill last night at 7:43 avg pace.
1 mile w/u
3 mile GMP
1 mile easy
1 mile GMP
That was a tough workout. I think GMP feels hard right now because GMP is actually somewhere between current HMP and MP. I'm banking on GMP getting easier as the weeks progress so it feels less like HMP. Also, SUV, HVAC, OMG, and LMNOP.

Another day of no walking if possible.
It is apparently really icy out so I guess it is a good day to be staying home and doing nothing.

No cold AND ice here in San Antonio! Just a bit of cold as it was in the 20's this morning when we woke up. That is cold for South Texas! High today of only 59. Our normal high for this time of year is about 65. Well, at least we have lots of sunshine today.
My crazy cat Peanut is home again after a trip to the vet yesterday. No stitches required, thank goodness. Vet cleaned him up a bit, said everything looked okay, gave me some antibiotics for him and told me to keep him inside for the 2 nights and then he could go back outside on Thursday. Of course when he can't go out, he 'cries' like crazy, meowing LOUDLY in complaint. Worse than a spoiled kid that can't have his way, lol.
After I got him home from the vet, I headed to the YMCA for an easy 3-mile run/walk. Nice day - sunny, 51 degrees, light wind blowing making it feel a tad chillier than 51, but not bad at all. I was feeling pretty good and got carried away and went 'exploring' down a couple of streets and ended up with 4 miles total instead of 3. Today is a rest day as the office holiday party is today after work.
Kristin, should you even be walking at all on that foot? And especially in icy conditions? Heck, it's hard enough to walk on ice with TWO good feet. Stay home and behave yourself, young lady, get better.
Nice TM running, Baboon! 10 miles...that is a lot of patience for a treadmill!

Morning! 6-8 miles including a Trixie visit in the middle.
Trixie's pancreas is inflammed and they suspect pancreatitis. Her numbers have improved, so we are hoping the cytology will give us good news and she can be home by Friday.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Scotty, I am glad Peanut is home and complaining.
Morning, all!
Not sure what, if anything, I will get in today. It will depend on if I get time. I may just call it one more rest day for my ribs. We do have kyukido class tonight, so if they aren't actually hurting then, I'll step in for part of the class. If I do find time to get to the Y, I'll probably just TM it for 3 miles or so to test things out.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Scotty- nope was ordered to lay on the couch all day. Walking only to the fridge, coffeemaker and bathroom. Boring I do have to get Xrays at some point before Tuesday but I'm thinking tomorrow. Give the ice a chance to melt and a day of total rest may do me well. Going to the Dr in the snow yesterday was enough of an adventure for gimpy me
Supp!
And so it begins, 5 miles on the dreadmill. Blah.
Busy morning, be back later...say, is it me, or is the layout different when posting?
Glad to hear Trixie is doing somewhat better! Hope she starts doing a lot better now and will be home in no time!
Nice winter outfit...was that your Chicago cold weather outfit?
Well, even in a soft cast, I'd still chase your Great Legs...probably, at my pace, the only time I'd ever be able to catch up to you!

This morning's run was great, I started off with the plan of 5 miles and my right calf was still a little sore but not bad at all. Around mile 3 the soreness went away and I pretty much decided on 6 miles, then for whatever reason just before mile 5 I decided to pick up the pace all the way to mile 6, and doing a slow mile 7 that ended up being another fast mile. I ended with 7 miles in 1:08:17 with an average pace of 9:45 min/mile, it was a great run.... unfortunately without Rocky as I needed a break from him on the leash and I decided to give him a couple days' rest.
Day 14 of my Run Streak, so far 62.6 miles in 14 days
Rolling Run totals:
Last 7 days: 28.5 miles
Last 30 Days: 120.3 miles (or 21:04:50)
