WHERE'S THE FOOD !

Tonight is New Years Eve and also my anniversary(42 years). Since we will be having guest in for lobster dinner and chocolate covered strawberries with champagne, I scheduled a training session with Shayla. Smart move don't you think? We worked on biceps and back plus some abs. I thought I would be sore from the big walk yesterday but wasn't. I just have one big blister on my right foot that I am trying to get healed for the Disney.

Happy New Year to all and wishing you a healthy 2008

Water over the Falls

Christy and I were going out today for an eleven mile run, or so I thought. When we started out on the trail to run she said her leg hurt and she couldn't run. Normally this would aggravate me but I decided that I had said I would run with her and no matter what I was going to. So as easy as the water goes over the Falls I didn't let her complaints turn into an argument but let them go. And yes we didn't do a lot of running but we did have a very enjoyable time. And she did get her 11 miles in. An surprise, guess whose knee was hurting at mile 9 and had to slow down, mine. We did do a little running and finished our walk in a little over 3 hours (that's a long time to walk).
We did what we said we would, that we would go for the miles and not the time.
What I learned today is that sometimes it is better to just let things go, you have a much better time.
Miles today 10.96
Miles for week 18.02

OOPS !

I was taking it easy this morning. Just waiting for the weather to warm up and the sun to come out so I could go out and run. My thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Surprise it was Shayla and I had a training session at 10:30 ( it was 10:35) oops, I'll be right up. I threw on some workout clothes and headed up to the gym. We worked on chest and triceps and afterwards I did 20 minutes on the bike. I would have gone longer but was feeling a little nauseated so went home. If the sun comes out I will try running outside.

Day before Christmas


Here's wishing all a merry Christmas. We were having such a beautiful day that after making 6 loaves of cranberry bread I decided to go out for a short run. Of course there is always something to go wrong and today wasn't any different. I did manage to do 2.81 miles and was pleased with my running, but not my time 45 minutes.

Back to the gym


Sunday morning it took me awhile to get moving and since it was cold out and I'm still recovering from being sick I decided to head up to the gym.
I watched FOX news and ran/walked on the treadmill. I managed 3 miles and then stopped only because I was getting too tired. I figure I will keep increasing the miles each day to get my stamina back. I want to be in the best form for Disney.
