Eleven miles walking down to the trax trail and along it.  I got in about 5 of those miles on the equestrian trail portion.  I was glad when the weather finally warmed up, but that was only the last mile.  Enjoyed listening to the Nutrition Diva podcasts.  

.6 miles jogging with Twilight.

I did not push the pace on anything today.  My entire goal for at least the first half of the week is to get in mileage, but not push.  I will try and roll out my pelvic region and ice it and the knees tonight.

Might be a good week to improve my stretching habits.

Sounds like a most excellent plan. Did you have a nice weekend?

From jona on Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 14:38:53

Wow, good miles!

Thanks, Jon!

Marion - yes, I had a good weekend. Read 4 books and the only demon I gave into was the chocolate one.

How was everybody else's weekend?

super dooper miles sister!!!! Good ultra plan! 4 books? I am still trying to get thru Breaking Dawn. Dang girl!

From tarzan on Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 19:54:49

Les - it helps if you actually open the books. You spend too much time gazing lovingly into Harold's eyes.

I even cleaned all my bathrooms and mopped all my floors today and cooked dinner tonight. I even told my ex I would feed him when he comes by to do my taxes tonight.

Have a good week and take care of your aching self. STRETCH like a mad woman!
