Peek-a-boo

 

I hope everyone is doing well.

 

Keep on Runnin'

Linda--glad you had a good run today and enjoyed yoorself.  happy for you.

Thanks guys!  I looked at results, and turns out my time was 36:05 & avg of 11:37 which honestly I am surprised at.  I slowed wayyy down a couple of times, so I must have been running pretty good .  Maybe I should try running without the Garmin more often   Oh & I feel more motivated now.  Maybe that 5K is what I needed for a kick in the rear..

Linda woohoo!!!!    I'm so glad.     I'm always slower than I expect to be.  I like your way better.  ... that part doesn't matter, but it's a nice extra bonus!  

 

Hi Frances, I'm glad your running is going so well!   What half are you going to run?

 

Howabout you Eliz, what is your Full? 

 

... what is my full?  I still haven't decided.

 

Happyfeat how did it go this weekend?    ... keep on writing about all these processes, because we're all going through them.  ok, at least I am.  & I like how you think.  

 

I took the weekend off, at least for running. I think last week was just a little too soon. So tomorrow morning, ohboy ohboy!

Just checking in to see how everyone else's weekend is going. Linda, I'm happy your run went so well and now your little running heart is fired up again. Life is always going to have its ups and downs; and so will your running. It's just the way it is. Like you said, you have multiple activities you want to spend time on. It makes for a full and hopefully rewarding life. 

 

My visit with family here in San Francisco is going very well.For starters, it did not rain on Dad's birthday party at the park yesterday. It was meant to be a surprise and he certainly was! All 8 "kids" and most of their families were there; with 3 of us from a distance (one sister from Scotland). He did not expect it at all and was stunned to see me and then I thought he was going to have a heart attack when he saw her. (Thank goodness he doesn't have a weak heart!)  Anyway, I've gotten in "quality" visits with pretty much everyone - so it's been very "warm and fuzzy."

 

We get home tomorrow evening and I'll be back on track on Tuesday. Got my work cut out for me since I'll be about 30 miles behind my new Pace Bunny then.  DH wants to go for a walk before dinner. So I'm off. Thanks for asking about the visit, Deb.

HappyFeat - yes I guess that's the key, huh?  balance in life... I do have a little trouble with that.  As the kids get older, I'm sure that will help.  Sounds like you're having a good time.

 

Yesterday I got up early & ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill..  shocking very shocking!! lol

Yaay! It's Saturday - finally. Sucky work week...my boss and I sometimes have communication breakdowns, made worse when she's tired and tense. It got ugly this week due to a lapse in good judgment on my part. I hope to smooth things over some more next week.

 

Had another gorgeous scenic run this morning with Kristin. We did 11 miles!

 

My legs were their usual disgruntled selves. My right calf started twinging in the last mile, so I've got an ice pack on that. My hams were tight and glutes twingy, so I'm sitting on a large ice pack now. What I've noticed though is that running doesn't make them any worse and NOT running does!  When I skipped running for 5 days last week, I was in so much pain by the last day (I think from so much sitting that day).  Sitting seems to be the absolute worst thing for me right now. Since then I've run 5 miles every day and have felt better and better.

Good afternoon everyone.

 

no runs for me.  I'm joining the Pulled Hammy club.

 

My son tells me it may be due to overcompensating for the ITB issue on the other side.  I hate getting old.

 

Cheers,

 

Mike
