Happy Wednesday! It is still warm here but no need for the AC as the mornings are cool. Cooler temperatures are coming but not too cool (yippee). Monday I did a weight workout and yesterday was a rest day. I am suppose to go running tonight but they are forecasting rain. So if it does rain...

I'm 54. I run 2 times a week - one long run of 9 miles (more if I am training for a half) and one run of 4 miles. I do another run of 1-2 miles but I mix in other exercises like kettlebell swings, ball slams, squats, etc. Then I do one day of just weight training and other day where I mix in...

The weekend went by too fast. Tricia ~ I hope your hubby returns home safely. We live in such a crazy world. I just don't understand why we can't along get along and embrace our differences. It makes me so sad. I did not hear about the Beirut bombing until after the Paris situation but...

Rainy days and Mondays....it is Monday and it is raining. It rained all day yesterday as well. I got my long run in on Saturday instead and boy it was hot. We got out later than usual as we had to take mom's car to the shop so we didn't get out until 8:45. It was in the 80's by the time we...

Alisha ~ I'm glad you are getting better and that you are re-organizing things. That's always a good thing. It is unseasonably warm here. Last night I got all my nighttime running gear together. I put my reflective vest over my tank top. I think that's the first I time I ever wore my...

Tricia ~ We were suppose to get rain from Patricia but never did and we really need it. Congratulations on your workouts. Keep up the good work! I'm back to my regular workouts this week. It's still in the 80's here but less humid. Anyone doing anything special for Halloween? We aren't...

Happy Monday! I got back in the groove and did a workout on Saturday and ran 9 miles on Sunday. Alisha ~ I hope you had a good weekend. Tricia ~ I hope you had fun playing golf. The weather was a bit warm this weekend but it should cool off some later this week. We are waiting to see if we...

TGIF! We are back from South Carolina and had a great time. The weather was beautiful!! The 1/2 went really well. I ran with my sister most of the way but left her at mile 11 because I just wanted to get the thing done with. My knee bothered me though which was unusual because it I haven't...

Alisha ~ I'm glad you got time to workout a bit. It's always nice to come home. We are in the 80's here too but there is less humidity so that is nice. The mornings are a bit cooler as well. My sister and I have completed our 1/2 marathon training this morning with a 11 mile run. The 1/2...

Happy Monday! My 11 mile run went well yesterday. I felt really good as did my sister. Her knee held up really well. Tonight will be an upper body workout. Alisha ~ Hope you are having fun! Tricia ~ It looks like lots of good changes coming your way soon. Is there any place out of that...

I read "All The Light We Cannot See" and did not find it boring at all. I love it. I also read "A Man Called Ove" and thought it was amazing. I read it last month and I still think about the characters. I am currently reading "The Girl on the Train".

I have a variety of slam balls. I love them and use them a lot in my training. I do all my workouts outside year around unless the weather is bad. So I either slam them under my carport or on the grass. I love doing ball slams because it's a total body workout...legs, arms and abs. I also...

TGIF and Happy October! Alisha ~ I hope you get to Disneyland! I'm taking a rest day but I worked out yesterday and I will out tomorrow and Sunday. Sunday is a 11 mile run. My 1/2 marathon is 2 weeks from Sunday. Hi Tricia!

Alisha ~ I'm glad all is well and you are doing good. Let me know how your trip went and if you got to go to Disneyland. The 5K was fun. I did better than last year but not my best time overall. The weather was cool and cloudy. Then we came home and made 2 batches of cookies for a bake sale...

It's hump day! Yeah! Still trying to get caught up from vacation a couple of weeks ago. Tonight will be a 3.5 to 4 mile run. I've been consistent with my workouts and ran 10 miles on Sunday in preparation for our 1/2 marathon in October (less than 30 days away). My sister has been working...

I'm sorry about the smoke. It's awful. I remember when we had fires near here, I think in 2007 and it was horrible. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I'm glad you are getting some relief from your PT. My running friend had plantar fasciitis for a while a couple of years ago. It is...

Happy September. This morning was in the 50's but it will not last. I was on vacation the first week in September and last week just flew by. I'm trying to get back on track from vacation. I had lost 6 pounds before vacation but probably gained that back so I ate and ate and didn't do any...

Happy Monday! My vacation is coming up fast and I'm really excited. I'm so tired and am looking forward to some R&R. The policy discussion did not go well. It scares me that the owner does not understand her own policy and my boss has been here way too long and doesn't get it. Whatever...

I'm sorry I missed the check-in for this month. I've just been super busy. I'm gearing up for my vacation in about 2 weeks. I can't wait. I haven't had a day off all year (except for holidays) and I'm really struggling right now. I love my new job but their PTO policy sucks. I found an...

We are battling through some very hot temperatures. I worked out on Saturday and ran 9 miles on Sunday. It was hot but breezy and we got out there early. Monday was a total body weight workout and Tuesday was a rest day. Tonight will be a run unless the heat index is above 105. Our running...
