Blah Blah Blah

I am still here. I've been a bad blogger lately, though.

Let's see... I ran Thursday and instead of running my steady 27 1/2 minutes, I decided to switch it up a bit. After about a mile and a half, I started "sprinting" between light posts on the side of the road. I say "sprinting" because I know at this point it wasn't a dead out sprint, but I definitely picked up the pace a lot. I continued this for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile and then ran at a steady pace back to the house. Instead of the usual steady run, I mixed it up a bit and shortened the time by about 3-4 minutes. I really got my heart rate up and I was impressed that I could finish up my run after all those "sprints".

Saturday we had a garage sale at the house and made some money. We did pretty decent. We got rid of furniture that was just eating up space, so that was really great. I didn't run Saturday because I was just plain exhausted. After the garage sale and being outside for 6 hours all we did was eat lunch, nap and see a movie. :)

I got up this morning and ran my steady 27 1/2 minutes and burned almost 400 calories.... I guess I ran faster?? Who knows!

I do not want to go back to work tomorrow! Boo Mondays!

Missed a few

Sorry for a few missed posts!

I've still been running, though. No worries! I upped my time by 10% and now I am running for 27.5 minutes at a time.

Doing pretty well, too. I am not completely DEAD by the end. The outside of my right foot it starting to really hurt. Let's hope it's nothing serious. :(

Had a great Monday off! The fam all went to my sisters house and the kids and adults swam and cooked out. It was relaxing, but after getting up early to run and spending the whole day in the sun, I am wiped OUT!!

I SHOULDN'T have any issues going to sleep tonight :)

Night!

Ultimate Dream

Yup. One day.

Fat Talk

Please watch this video.

We should enjoy and love our bodies the way they are. There is a difference between wanting to be "healthy" and wanting to be "skinny". Unfortunately, most women hide behind "I want to be healthy" when what they really want is to be "skinny". Every woman's healthy is different from the next.

Let's end FAT TALK together!

Go on over to Caitlin's blog for more information on Fat Talk. She's done a wonderful job covering in this week!

Did I fix it!!!?

"Me" time

Me, myself and I had some nice "me" time on my run. :)

I did another 2.7 in 25 minutes. I kept a pretty steady pace so I am happy about that. I think I am slowly building my stamina up.

I am going to try and slow my pace down on my Friday or Sunday run this week and run for longer. I really want to see if I can run at a decent pace for about 30 minutes. If so, it will be the most I've accomplished since High School. :)

I've got this crazy drive in me right now. I am loving it.

Don't ever give up.

Speedy

That was me tonight. Instead of the usual 2.5 miles in 25 minutes, I ran 2.74 miles!! I kept between a 9:15-9:59 min. mile pace. I am pretty proud of myself. It probably helps that it was considerably cooler outside and windy, but I will take what I can get :)

I am waiting for "The Hills" to come on now... it's my guilty pleasure show :) That and the new 90210 :)

Loserville, I know!!

Ciao!
