Much Better 5 miles

December 31, 2009

It is snowing.  Again.  I made it over to the apartment gym for a much better 5 mile run this morning.  To prevent a repeat of yesterday, I ate only a Fig Newman before walking over there. I had the gym to myself so I caught up on the Today show while running my little [...]

I didn’t make it to bed at 10 pm like I had hoped last night – it was closer to 11 pm BUT we finished writing out our Christmas cards.  Matt is going to pick up stamps today and we will stamp and seal them tonight.  I also spent a few minutes reading in bed [...]

Slow Going

November 5, 2009

It is definitely getting close to the end of the week.  I had a hard time waking up to go for my run this morning.  I trudged out of bed and ate a Fig Newman – big surprise. I ran 4 miles – today was slower than yesterday.  My legs were tired and I couldn’t [...]
