51 degrees, should have worn a short sleeve shirt. It was dark. I used my new orthotics. I suppose time will tell. The legs felt great. I felt slow but did not care :) | | Comments(11) |

Nice run out to Salem and back. Please note the 12:44 was the monster up hill on the highway. Thank you, thank you very much! This run felt great. I really want to be faster, but I keep reminding myself that slow and relaxed is the way to keep from getting injured. Chill chika!
Oh- the sun was making the most beautiful sky this morning. The mountains were deep purple with orange and red splotches all over them from the changing leaves with this brilliant orange red sky behind them. It was remarkable looking. I guess fall is ok, even if it means that ugly winter is on its way. I will LOVE winter this year! I LOVE winter. I LOVE fall. I love poopie diapers. I love laundry. I love mopping. I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!
Here is our goofy family picture for the christmas card. YES, I have the pictures back from Costco and the cards too. I am going to get them all done in the next few weeks. Don't worry, I won't mail them until the day after Thanksgiving, but I'll be ready! YES, I am NUTS!!!! The Hawiian shirt that Ford is wearing was my husbands when he was a kid. Ford LOVES it!

I had a smoothie before work for dinner and that just isn't enough fuel for the morning run. The last half mile felt like I had just run a race. I will remember to eat a bowl of cereal before bed if I have a pansy dinner.
On the more exciting note- the weight is moving down. I am 1 pound away from 12#'s lost (since I joined the blog) so it is getting time for another 5 K. 5 miles a day seems to be a good amount of miles for weight loss. Still, a long way to go. But, see below my before pics. They help me to see how far I have come and not get too hard on myself. That picture is about 82 lbs heavier than I am now. The other one is my current "after" photo. They used to be on my work blog until I blew it up.
It was 34 degrees this morning. I really need a gator.
This link is to an Ab workout that KungFuBlonde sent me. I am going to do it 3 times a week and see if I can't get this "lub" of mine less "lubbie"

I went and bought a reflective vest and a gaiter. Of course I did not get out until 9:30 this morning. Too warm in bed, too relaxing with David home, TOO cold outside (32 degrees). I asked David if we could move ;) Once I got myself out there, man it was georgous! The colors up the canyon and all over the mountains are UNREAL! The run felt just fine. I was a bit pooped for the last mile, but the split did not show it too much. Tomorrow is an 8 miler with Kim. I needed less miles Saturday, so we tacked them on to the Friday run.
The weight is still dropping ;) I am trying not to be too excited. BUT I AM!!! hahahahahahahahahahhahah (evil laugh)

Aside from runs where I have become injured, this is the WORST run EVER! I got up to run with Kim at 8 and started to get a migraine as she was walking up to my door. I went back to bed until 10. From 10 to 10:30 I tried to talk my self into and out of a run. At 10:30 I left. I never win the "stay home" battle. I walked a bit, stretched and then ran, well sauntered. My knees were yakking, then my calves twitched, then my hip cried then at mile six, my neuromas caught fire and felt like they were being stabbed by millions of little pairing knives. Finally the last mile, just my knees ached a bit and now I am home. Phew!!!
Have a WONDERFUL day everyone. I am going to shower that run away and pretend it did not happen!
This is my beautiful baby Will. He went missing yesterday and it was HORRIBLE. Of course he was fine and all is well, but the police, sheriff and all my neighbors were combing the neighborhood. They are all so WONDERFUL!!!

Very nice run at 5:30 this morning. The stars were SO beautiful and the crescent moon was smiling at me. Yes, Mom/Maurine, I wore my reflective vest :D Everything felt great and relaxed and normal! Yippee!!!
I've got to go and get all of the Jawa costumes made for the boys for a party tonight. I hope ya'll have a wonderful Saturday and a restful Sunday! I'll post a picture of the boys tomorrow. The costumes won't be as intricate as my husband would like, but oh well! The boys will live, but just barely! |
