I Don't Have Time For This . . .

30 minutes cross training (workout video)

Regular route. Running partner is out of town so I did it solo. I run a little faster by myself, but it felt good.

I was hoping for four, but I forgot to look at the clock when I left and I ran a route I've never measured before. Guess I underestimated. At least there was a nice big hill involved.

I'd just like to say that turning 40 stinks. Actually, I haven't turned 40 yet, but it's on the horizon and I don't like it. I haven't really been concerned about it until the last couple of months when my body suddenly decided that gaining weight is fun and maintaining fitness should be really hard. We're only talking about a couple of pounds here, but it's different from what I'm used to, and it feels like a trend, and I don't like it. 

Ran to the aquatic center and back today. It was a perfectly beautiful day.

Gorgeous run up the canyon with my valentine this morning (ok - that was cheesy, but it might be the only date we get so I have to make the most of it). The uphill half was a little rough. I've been really short of breath the last couple of runs, but I didn't have heart palpitations today which was an improvement. We took it slow, and it was a perfect day for savoring the spectacular scenery and incredible weather. Actually it was a perfect Valentine's Day date - now if only the Waffle Love truck were still in town....
