Yesterday ended up being a rest day, sort of. I swam laps in the pool, and ran laps in the pool. DS had a baseball game in the morning and by the time we got home it was too hot to do anything else. This morning, I got up super early and ran 10 miles. It was brutal with the humidity, but I got...

Hey guys. Got an early morning run with cool showers done. 8 miles. Now I have to clean and then take DS to his baseball game later. So I got an email from the NYRR (New York Road Runners). They are having a virtual NYC marathon. You can participate in 1 of 4 ways. One way to participate is to...

Good morning! Just finished a short 3 mile run. I may do some weights after breakfast. It was cooler out this morning, which was nice. My legs are pretty sore though. I need to foam roll later. Deb- As hard as I am trying not to think about work, I cannot help it, lol. I'm a type A person...

Hey guys. today I slept in and did an upper body and abs workout. I might go for a quick 3 mile run in the evening if the heat dies down. Deb- I would prefer seeing the kids at least part time and then digital instruction, if we need to have less people in the buildings, which seems to be the...

5 mile run done. DS has his first baseball games today, a double-header. He is very excited. So am I. There are lots of rules and restrictions. It will not be "normal" but at least it is something. Deb- I have yet to get my hair done since this whole thing started. I've used boxed color from...

Hey guys. Ugh, sorry I haven't checked in for a bit. I have been keeping up with running and workouts. Sunday I did a 9 mile run and was dying from the heat and humidity. Today I did an 8 mile run and it was so much better because even though it is still humid out, the temps were lower and it...

Hey guys. Yesterday ended up being a rest day for me. Today I ran 4.5 miles. I plan on doing a short weight workout for bis/tris and some abs after breakfast. My pace has slowed down a bit this week with the humidity and heat. . . I am trying not to beat myself up about it. The NYC Marathon is...

Hey guys- Just finished a 3 mile run. I tried to beat the heat by getting out early. . . it was still hot and soupy out there. I am about to do a short weight workout now. Deb- people are so desperate to get out. . . I bet it looked as if it were Christmastime at those stores. I try to avoid...

Hey guys. I woke up this morning realizing that it is the first weekday in months that I do not have to start my day on the computer! I went for a run to try and beat the heat and humidity. I got in a 4.4 mile run. Why 4.4? Well with virtual race I am running, I was at 152.6, and I don't like...

Hey guys. Today I did the worst run of my life. I was going for 10 miles, but ended up with 8.5 because it was either stop or go on and die. The humidity killed me. I was definitely dehydrated even with bringing my hydration drink with me. I have to remember now that we are in the full swing of...

Hey guys. Well, I made it. Schoooooool is out for SUMMER! What a week. I am glad I survived this crazy ass school year. We had our very last virtual faculty meeting yesterday. Now that school is out, I plan on spending my days working out, reading and lounging by the pool. I will not be chained...

Hey guys. I am sorry I have not been checking in. School is almost over and then I will be a regular on here again. It is just too much time on the computer every day. I am over it. I am sick of it. I hope to God we do not go back to digital learning in the fall or have a second wave of Covid...
