| | Went to a wedding with a huge dessert table, there was some fruit which helped me resist the other sweets. Wish I could add the mileage I did on the dance floor. |

I wish I had a way to track the miles I put on the dance floor at a wedding the night before. Glad that I was able to make this mileage today. |

This was done in 1/2 mile spurts, but I got further. |

| | Oops. It is difficult to get into an everyday routine. Visiting with friends seemed more important today. |

| | One mile to and from the store. The extra 1/2 snuck in while talking to a friend after Bible class. I'm actually wishing I could get another 2 back and forth to the library but it is already almost 4:30. Better planning tomorrow. |

| | Back and forth to the library. Will need a better way of tracking distance to try the running on grass that was suggested to me. |

Same route looked up on mapquest instead of google. |

I was really pumped with the TOU marathon going on today.
Congratulations to all from the blog that ran.
Especially #15 who did not break himself but still placed in his age group!
Don't laugh but I actually did a quarter mile in < 2 minutes today. It's a start. I used the blog's course tool to figure today out. VERY neat. |

Farmers Market, Downtown and Canal path. I saw the Friendship Garden 1/2 mile from downtown. It was full of purple and white asters, goldenrod and butterflies. I got a lot more mileage going back and forth more than once, plus having a nice gravel surface. Found a sign that the Isle La Cache museum in Romeoville is just 4 miles down the path once you're already down a mile. That would be a nice place to show the grandkids, (if we only had to go one way.) |

| | Weighed in before Bible class, walked afterwards then went to look at siding and windows before going to work. After work went to S&S for dinner. |

Lemont was totally fogged in this morning. Too spooky to go out into it. Did a quick mile in Burr Ridge before going in to work. Waiting for response. Maybe I'll get more in this afternoon.
I managed another 1.21 at lunchtime. Worked late and had to carry drinks to the garden club meeting at the library in the evening or I could have added a library run in the evening as well.
I know excuses, excuses. But, today (Fri.) is still young. |

| | So much for consistency. A husband working from home after a business trip and a light mist of a rain was enough to keep me from any mileage. I did get batteries to keep track of mileage on the machine upstairs if it is still raining tomorrow. |

| | Went to Walgreen's before breakfast. Do I get extra points for carrying a gallon of milk back? |

| | My distance is just a guesstimate walking back and forth in the yard moving mulch. I lost count. But it is done. |

Walks been postponed due to HIGH winds. I'm heading off to work, I'll look when I get back at how the garden survived.
The weather was still terrible with lots of falling branches. I'll look at the garden Tuesday morning.
I planned on walking on the machine upstairs but the battery installation failed so the meter still wasn't working, and it was so much cozier under the blanket with Steve on the double chair. |

This would be my chance to really take off and beat Adam on the mileage board again since he hasn't posted. All I've managed this morning is a couple of times around the yard.
Although the dampness and winds are making the old bones creak, I do have the day off so I'll try to add more.
Went to Farmer's Market for more mileage, but then sat in poisonous plant class and visited with my folks instead of doing more. |

Went to WW before Bible class so I had more time to do the Prairie Path before work. Almost made it in 45 minutes but I stopped to meet Emma, a therapy Rottweiler who does "Reading to Rover" at the library, owned by a charming German man who referred to me as "nice girl" when he introduced us.
Had ribs for dinner with S&S (S had martial arts) so I didn't get miles after work.
