Wagons

I'm back on the wagon... the workout wagon! Saturday, I went for a 2 miles walk with Skeeter the Wonderdog. I was going to run, but my stomach was very upset. So, on Sunday I took the day off too.

So, where is the wagon? It came around the bend today. I almost forgot to go run (really I did). Then, realized I should head out or I'd feel horrible. Out the door I went. I was going to go for a quick 2 miles at 6:30pm. 1/2 mile into it, and I changed my mind. I ran a 5K, and I feel great!

I also got a call today from our Social Worker. She just got our package today, and wanted to set up a meeting. We are going to have our first of 3 meetings with her right after we get back from Guam. Things are finally moving on the adoption front!!!

Well, I'm off to cool down and try to have a healthy dinner. Enjoy your day where ever you are!

Allergies or Illness?

So, I do NOT have allergies. My nose is runny and my ears feel strange. However, I had a slight fever yesterday... or was it the change in the A/C. OK, so basically I just don't feel quite right.

On Wednesday, I ran a nice 2 miles. It was a GORGEOUS day out, and the first .5 miles was great! So great, that I was running faster than normal. Then it hit me that I was running faster than normal and I hit a wall. I struggled for the next 1.5 miles. I hate my mind games.

Yesterday I went to the pool. School's out, so it was me and a 60+ lady! I love the summer!!! Like I said, I wasn't feeling right and the swim felt like I was in molasses. It was tough, but I swam 1200 yards before I called it a day.

I plan on swimming again today, because it will be in the low to mid 90s today with thunderstorms. Plus, swimming is more fun!

So, since my last post my friend Kari came out to do a 25K trail race in Afton, MN. So hadn't run more than a 5K in a month, so she didn't have high hopes. She kicked butt though! I was able to see here at the 9.5 mile point and got a great picture. I was so proud of her.

It was great to have her here. We went to the sculpture garden and the science museum. Plus, we relaxed and enjoyed numerous games of Cribbage. So much fun!!

Wish me luck on the next few days of working out. I have to get back on this horse!
