Slow Poke

4, i think.  We arrived to Oregon last night about 9:30, after 14 hours of driving.  Got up and ran with my dad.  We both think it was pretty close to 4.  Felt good.

2ish miles with 200 lunges.  Still in oregon and will be for a couple weeks.  Got to walk with my sister who I dont see a whole lot, so it was good to chat. 

45 minutes on the elliptical.  Good workout. Machine said I burned 1000 calories, but I have since learned they arent so accurate.  Oh well

50 minutes on elliptical.  Again, 1000 calories according to the machine.

Hadnt ran since friday, so it was definately time.  I went the same loop I did with my dad on friday, but added another 1 mile loop around the school.  The weather was 40 ish and it was absolutely perfect for a run.  

Felt good and strong and actually enjoyed one or two of the hills.  Not normal for me.   

2 miles of walking with 200 lunges.  Walked around the school twice.  There is a really big hill that Joni and I walked partially up last week that I would like to do more of sometime, but not enough time today.  I keep sleeping in.  

I ran the same loop as tuesday.  I felt good and strong and even felt a few rain drops.  Some good hills, which i actually like sometimes.  

2 times around the school with 200 lunges.  It was a bit cooler this morning, but felt good to get up and go, as always.

Great run this morning with my dad and brother in law Jason in Camas/Vancouver Washington.  I had never run with Jas before so that was fun.  We ran at around an 8:40 ish pace, and I think even a couple of the miles faster than that.  Felt way good and happy to run with a new person.

5 miles of walking with my mom and sister, then 200 lunges.  Still in Oregon.  Felt good to get out and about.

My dad and brother had run a 4.3 mile loop earlier and so I did the same, but added a bit more.  It was so foggy a misty that I had to clean my glasses every 5 minutes or so.  Good run with lots of hills.

5 miles of walking with my sister up a pretty good hill.  I enjoy walking up hills much more than running up them.  Then, 200 lunges.  It has been fun being in Oregon, I have got a bit of variation running this and last week.  

Happy to be doing it.

Back to southern utah.  After another 2 days of traveling I was ready for a good run.  I slept in until 9:30 so I got to running about 9:45.  It was pretty warm by then.  I felt good and getting stronger.  Next week I want to increase the miles a bit.

Happy to be out there doing it!!

2 miles of walking with 200 lunges today.  It felt like spring time.  I wore my gloves because I assumed it would be colder and had to take them off because I was so warm. 

Glad for the good weather and being able to get out to exercise!!

Had to do a quick one today (or short anyway).  I did try to keep a steadier, faster pace than normal and felt good.  I need to do that more often.

Dont mind the hills so much anymore, I know they can help to make me stronger.

2 miles of walking with 250 lunges today.  As I was walking I was missing the hills of Medford.  The one that I walked with my sister a couple of times.  I reversed my 2 mile walk today thinking that it was more up hill that way, but after walking the hilll in Oregon, it wasnt anything.  Oh well, still happy to be out there doing it!!!

I wanted to go 10.  I didnt make it, but close.  Average pace 9:24.  Did have a few closer to nine and one or two closer to ten.  Hence the average.  Felt good for the most part.  About 6 I was tired, but got more juice.  The last mile was a steady up hill which after 8 wasnt so easy. 

All in all though, felt good.

Walking again today with 250 lunges.  It sprinkled a bit, but the weather was beautiful again.  Not to cold. 

Another late night for me so it was a bit hard to wake up.  Once I did, I went 4.  The same 4 as always. 

Slight rain today, which makes for the perfect temperature.  It was about 50, in January.  The desert is great!!!!

4 miles of walking with 250 lunges.  It was a bit windy, but temp felt pretty good.

My friend txtd me at about 7:30 pm and invited me to go walking with her, so I did.  After about 2.5 miles, it started raining pretty hard so needless to say we were both soaked by the time we got back to her house.  I walk in cotton pant so I was pretty wet.  Good times!!!

Dropped Anna off to pre school and headed off.  Actually, she likes to run to school (close to a 1/2 mile) so we did.

Felt very good today!!!  Mile 4, 5, and 6 were all under 9's.  Average pace 9:03.  Yeah!!!  I was pretty cold to begin with, but once the sun came out I had to take my head band off.

Happy to be feeling good and stronger every day!!!

Walking with 250  lunges.  It was insanely windy and freezing cold so I was glad it was my walking day. I wouldnt have made it far running. 

Running today and boy was it cold.  28 as I left.  I kept a good steady pace and felt strong doing it.  I didnt have time for my Garmin to calibrate or whatever it does for 5 minutes before I use it every day.

 Another 4 this afternoon, walking and pushing Anna in the stroller.  Was a bit bored at the house, so we decided to go for a walk.  She hasnt gone with me for awhile, so that was fun.

2 miles of walking again with 250 lunges.  Had limited time.

Another 2 miles this afternoon with Anna and the parents.

Same 7 as monday or whenever that was, but I ran it backward, and started at the house not annas school so i got that extra 1/2.  My garmin batteries were dead so I didnt take it.  I tried to keep a good pace but it would have been cool to see if i actually did or not.

The most miles in a week I think in ever for me!!!  Half have been walking, but even the running ones are getting higher.

Yeah!!

Walking again today with Anna in the stroller.  With 250 lunges.  It is a beautiful day outside today, I was way warm in pants and a long sleeved shirt.  Have I mentioned that I love the desert???!!!
