The temperatures are in the 80's this week and the lows are in the 50's. Beautiful! I have been working out and am feeling good. Last night I used 2-20# dumbbells to do chest presses. I'm going to be hurting today. I hope you are doing well.

It is cool and cloudy here today. We are going into a cold spell for a couple of days. It is suppose to be in the 30's tonight and tomorrow and in the 50's during the day. We'll be back in the 70's on Friday. I guess we should enjoy the cold snap since this will be the last of it until the...

My ankle is better. I ran 3.5 miles on Wednesday and I worked out yesterday. It hurts a bit but otherwise it's fine. I plan on running 8 miles on Saturday morning. I'm sorry about the car salesman. I hate when they do that. I hope you get your mice/ rats. My sister worked in a place...

Alisha ~ I hope you find the mouse in your house! It is a cute little white one with a pink nose? On Sunday I ran and tripped and in doing so hurt my ankle a bit. I think I rolled it. It was swollen and bruised but it's already getting better. Last night I did an upper body workout...

Happy Friday! I love both paved and unpaved trails. This has been a busy week. On Monday I did a total body weight workout, Wednesday I ran 3 miles and yesterday I did a kettlebell workout. Today is a rest day and tomorrow morning will be some kind of workout and then we will be celebrating...

I did the 10K race on Saturday. I do love this race. They changed the course a bit so we got to run the one big hill at around mile 2 instead of mile 4. That was better and we ran on a paved trail that was really pretty. The weather was gorgeous and I did better than last year. Hope you had...

Alisha ~ I like jump rope workouts too!! Yippee on your workout!! I did an upper body workout on Monday, got a new hot water tank on Tuesday and ran 3.5 miles on Wednesday. I am doing something tonight but I don't know yet. Friday is a rest day and Saturday is a 10K race. My friend's dad is...

Thanks Alisha! I ran 3.5 miles on Wednesday and yesterday I did a workout with jump rope, ball tosses over the shoulder, speed skaters and a thruster complex. It was a great workout. Today is a rest day and tomorrow will be a workout with running, punches on the punching bag and something...

I scaled Mt. Saint Laundry this weekend too. :) I had a good time at the 5K on Saturday morning. The weather was perfect. My time wasn't great but I took 1st place in my age group. My sister took second. Yesterday I ran 8 miles. Tonight will be a weight workout - upper and lower body...

I just got a card in the mail for jury duty. I have to go online and fill out a questionnaire for later. I ran 2 miles on Wednesday before it started raining. Tomorrow I have a 5K race. I haven't done a 5K road race since November.

This morning I did a running workout mixed in with some tire flips, swings, walking lunges, jump squats and other exercises. The weather was cool but sunny. Tomorrow morning will be a 8 or 9 mile run. Then it's off to mom's house for her 83rd birthday (actually her birthday is Tuesday but...

I did the trail race last Saturday! I loved it! It was billed as 10 miles but was actually 11.2 miles. It was better than last year and they had mile markers which was nice since the GPS was off last year. I was told that GPS doesn't track well when you run zig zags which makes sense...

Alisha ~ I'm sorry you sprained your toes. I hope you are feeling better. OMG!! That is so terrible about the lady in your neighborhood. How horrible!

I'm here. I'm sorry I missed a week or so. I've just been busy. I have been working out though and have a 10 mile trail run on Saturday. It was one of the areas that was hit hard by the storms over the weekend although I have been told that the park where we are running was spared. Alisha...

Alisha ~ I'm glad you are safe! The race was wonderful. It was the longest distance I've done (16 miles) and I felt good. It was 4 laps of a 4 mile trail around a lake so the scenery was beautiful. It was mainly flat with a couple of small rises and some wooden bridges to run over. There...

Alisha ~ I'm glad you have the power back on. I'm sorry about all the flooding in your area. I hope you and your family are safe. I'm getting ready to leave for my 25K trail race in a couple of hours. It is early tomorrow morning and then we will be back home tomorrow afternoon. After a...

Happy New Year! I am ready for a new year. It feels good to be eating healthy again after the holidays. Yesterday morning I felt so sick. I drank lots of water and felt better by noon. Last night I did a weight workout. I did mostly upper body but added in some squats, calf raises and...

Happy New Year! I'm sorry missed that last week or so. Life has been so busy but today has been a nice because I have done absolutely nothing except for a workout this morning. I've been reading and watching a little TV and even took a nap! Yes, we can be roommates. Wouldn't that be fun...

Alisha ~ I hope you and your family are feeling better. I'm sorry about you not being able to have a family. It's ok to feel sad and grieve. I don't have any kids either and when I was younger I felt a bit like you are feeling but I don't feel that way now. Give yourself time to grieve a bit...

Hi! I'm sorry I have been MIA. Last week was crazy at work and then I went out of town to do a 1/2 marathon trail race. It was hard!!! Portions were smooth trails but other sections were very technical with LOTS of roots. I fell once and my sister fell twice but we did not have any...
