Heading out with Zoey & Nicole.  :)

 

 

Well - I was supposed to run on Sunday but had plans Sat night and wanted this run to be a good one so I delayed until today.  Nicole came over this morning after her night shift and off we went.  I am going find a way to share my map on here cuz I'm pretty proud of it.

 

Here it is!!

 

 

 

We ran/walked 11.26K in 1:39:33  Woohoo!!!

 

Today I feel GOOD about it!  Really good, actually!  A wonderful change!!  I am happy with the distance and time (time included stopping to call Bylaw on a couple dogs, re-tying shoelaces, general icy conditions and running through the Sherwood Park Natural Area along the "Old Edmonton Trail" which is currently snowy, icy, uneven and ungroomed) so my St Pat's 10K on the 17th aught to be under an hour and a half without difficulty AND I'm hoping I can find it in me to get it to 75 minutes.  We'll see. 

 

What a GREAT way to start my day!

 

Cheers!

 

Back to Blogger

Well, well, well...
I'm baaaaaaaack! LoL

So apparently I bailed on this blog when I got pregnant with Kenzie and never looked back.
Until now.

I have two blog goals:
1 - to continue to blog about my fitness "adventures" which focus primarily around running (5K, 10K, 5K obstacle & half marathon) while I'm on vacation from Facebook (I've disabled my Facebook account for March!).
2 - to assess my "relationship" with Facebook and see where to blog. I could go back to FB in April and repost my blog posts from here to FB, or I could move my old posts here and stick with actual blogging instead of my faux-blog on Facebook.

So here I am. After a few less-than-stellar weeks: Week Six of my 10K training I did 3 of my 5 scheduled workouts and Week Seven saw me falter to doing only 1 of 5 scheduled workouts.
I'm trying to get back on track this week. I failed to do my first 3 workouts of the week but today Nicole and I did 8K in 67.5 minutes!

HA!!!

I've got some other "issues" going on right now and am happy to be taking steps to address them.  I had an interesting realization a few days ago: I went through the same challenges when K1 was the same age that K2 is now.  I seem to have a pattern. 

Things seem to be stalled-out right now but they WILL start moving in the right direction again soon. Actually, I guess they have - I ran today! That's definitely the right direction. :)

So - there it is - my first blog post back on my old blog.
I did consider pretending this one didn't exist and just start a new blog but what the heck. It's all about accountability and honesty, right?
Just goes to show I fell off the wagon for a little over 2 years and am now PROUDLY getting back in gear!

HA!!!


PS - EEK! I just scanned some of my old posts. My SparkPeople addiction was replaced by a Facebook addiction! I'm cyclic and I never seem to learn... (sigh) And a "Life Goal" of training for a Figure Competition..? Really..? Well... Maybe. Just not yet. ;)
