Reporting 14 miles this week with a lot of walking around and a few jog/walk workouts at the resort using the hill to the condo :)  Also did upper band work outs and abs several times during the week.

Not sure if my right hip is bothering me becuase it misses running, sat on my bum way more than usual for 2 weeks or traveling, but I'm hoping it will be OK after my first run from returning from our wonderful 2-week vacation.  I'm feeling very rested, relaxed and blessed!

PE is was short but sweet today :)  Had a chiro appt. right before, so my hips felt great during this quick run with the girls.  Came home and did a lower weight work out and balance/stretch video!

Went out for a 10+ miler to decide if I should sign up for a 1/2 marathon or not on March 1st!  God answered my prayers loudly...  I fell only 2.5 miles into it, dang!  It was a good run today so far too, I'm soooooo bummed!

Awseome work-out today.  Full body weights, abs + 20 minutes of jump roping.  Looking forward to a recovery run today with running group at PE, I think my knees are ready as the swelling has definitley gotten better, ugghhh!  

Ran/jogged/walked 3.5 miles with running group at PE, cut short due to confirmation, just beautiful out today ~ 75 degrees!

A fun run with Janet this morning.  Neither of us has done a long run lately so we did the hills to get ready for our race.  Nice overcast morning in 60 degrees!  Upper weights once home.
