| | 4 miles with the neighbor and MR in the morning. Watch was still on bike mode until around mile 2. The last 2.24 miles were at an 8:57 avg pace. Not sure what the first two were, but they were slower than the last 2. I got to try out my new kettle balls. One video was just learning the "moves" and another one was more of a workout. I feel so whimpy when I have to put the 10 lb ball away and grab the 5 because 10 is too heavy to swing. I need to make a goal to get stronger and pull that 15 lb ball out of the cobwebs. 2 hour nap (I love holidays), and then MR and I went and played 18 holes of frisbee golf. I haven't played in 20 years, and I suck, but it was lots of fun and I amused myself with my bad throws for 2 hours. This course is entirely in a forest, so every single hole was just a mess of trees in front of the goal. I'm pretty good at hitting the trees :-)

| | Rain in the morning. I did the p90x legs & back, and finally used the pull-up bar. I HAD to use the chair to help get myself up, and I'm fairly certain that I won't be able to move my arms at all in 2 days, but it was a good work-out. I did the ab ripper after and it put a hurtin' on me. I haven't done it for a few weeks and all my stomach muscles have turned into flesh colored pumpkin pie. Good times. I worked on my summer vacation photo album book for a couple hours & watched Sense & Sensibility, then I took my merrells out for a quick short run because the sun came out :-)

| | Wore my new white shoes on the trails today with MR, so they're not new looking anymore. Red dirt galore :-) We did lots of hills today, which were hard for me, but dang it feels good to be a hill-ster. Avg pace was 9:29. I'm sore from my kettle-balls and p90x, but I find it's easier to move after I get going. Sitting just makes it hurt more.

| | 95 minutes on elliptical reading my books (which makes time fly). legs are really sore from p90x legs & back (arms are sore too- I'm not sure how much of my back I actually use in that video). After elliptical, I tried doing the ab ripper and it made me yelp out in pain. I hadn't done it for a few weeks, and my abs were sore, sore, sore. It hurt like a mother trying to do the exercises. But I managed to finish the whole video AND I was making enough horrid noise that buccaneer #1 had to shut the door on me. Win for the mamma pirate!! After all that, I took a quick jog in the merrells. I made it all the way around the loop! My calves haven't bothered me at all from running in them the short distances I've been running. I may try and up the distance next week. Maybe.

| | Went on a run with DAR (neighbor next door). MR & her hubby rode bikes while we ran. It was a tough run for me because my legs felt tired from everything all week. I had that feeling like I was a 3 toed sloth trying to escape the latin american chupacabra...I was just loping along. We kept our AP under 9:30 and finished, so it was all good. Went on a 4 mile walk with Wyatt later on in the day- she's been wicked sick the last month, one round of antibiotics after another. Hope she'll be back & ready to run again soon.

| | PF is bothering my heel a little. Probably from too much time in the merrells and not enough time in my arch support shoes. :-( So we went for a bike ride. MR and I rode out into the wind, and the wind blew like a hurricane (or it felt like it). Our first 12 miles took us over an hour. And we were really pedaling fast for one of them trying to lose a puppy that insisted on chasing us for the whole mile. I was impressed at his speed and how long he kept running with us. He was just having a good time out there running after & along us, but I was nervous because he'd try crossing the street in front of me and I knew we'd both lose that situation. Happy New Year to everyone!
