I ran with K-dot, aka Keith, today. We had a good run and took a bunch of fun pictures at the end. I have to process them, but I’ll post more soon… busy busy with house remodeling!
Workout:
My knee didn’t feel sore until around the last mile. I stopped twice to stretch it out during the run. K-dot and I had a good run, I discovered that I’m “Super Immunity”! Since through chatting I realized that I must carry pnuemonia or the flu to other people, but never get it myself. I knew about 15 people who got sick this winter season, but I never got anything. So… I have super powers… Immunity!
I am happy with today’s run. We kept a pretty steady pace around 10:00 miles. Here’s the breakdown:
1 - 10:05
2 - 10:05
3 - 10:10
4 - 9:49
Fastest run thus far… 
Workout:
The dust has been blown off! Chris and I took Bambi out for a run-walk for the first mile. Then we dropped her off home and went for another mile run.
Mile 1 = 20 minutes
Mile 2 = 13 minutes
Workout:
I have chosen a goal race, in August. I have the option of doing anywhere from 10 miles to 50K for this race. I’ll decide the actual distance come June when I have to sign-up for it. Otherwise, I am just building up my base miles to get ready for a half-marathon or a full one, come this fall!
Hello again
Its been too long,
Too long,
Too long,
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want
Anyway I’m gonna take it from you

I listened to this song while running. It made me think “Hello Again to Running!” and “You know you got what I want, Runners High!” and “I’m gonna take it from you, no matter what!”.
My knee - not the slightest pain or issue! I needed this badly! My muscles were a little tight and I was out of breath, but I survived. 1 Mile, sheesh… I felt like I had just started! The store-bought orthotics are helping a lot. What a $5 investment!
And… I hit up the tanning salon afterwards. It was just what I needed to clear my mind today. I feel refreshed, although my glands and my neck hurt while running. I hope to ward off any cold!
Bambi then took a quick 1/2 mile walk with me after my run. I like to run, then come back and take her for a walk. She always wants to come on my run, but I feel it’s a treat for her after and I get to cool down with my pal!
Workout:
I ran, the end. Just kidding! It was a good run. I’m amazed I could still breathe! I had to go to my parents house today to go under their house to clean up mold. I was armed with bleach, goggles, a face mask and sweats to go over my clothes. I felt I should have had HAZMAT in bright orange on my back! They only have a crawl space, so I had to crawl under the house and clean up some mold that was growing. I found the source to be some snail bait my dad put down there a few months ago. I told him to never do that again! Not likely, since he’s sick. So, I had to spray bleach, then scoop it all out, then spray bleach again! My lungs were crying for help, even with the face mask!
Regardless, I was able to make it home to head to the gym. Not before having lunch from Arbys with my parents! I rarely eat fast food, but my dad loves it. Since we’re trying to get him to eat and gain any weight he can (he weighs like 150 - which is no good) we all rally around him when he wants fast food or any food. He won’t eat it alone though and loves to get everyone to have some. So, I had a sub, a few fries and some of his vanilla milkshake. Every time I visit, we have fast food, crazy stuff! I’m just glad to see him eating, because come Monday he’ll have 3 days of chemo and feel terrible for two weeks again.
Workout:
Ran at 5.3 mph for 23 minutes = 2 miles
Ran at 7.5-8.0 mph for 2 minutes = .25 mile (HR 178)
This was great! I did the elliptical first, then ran on the treadmill. I was hoping to do 2 miles, but did one. I got up to 8.0 mph on the treadmill! I stayed at that for at least 30 seconds. The rest of the run was around 5.5-6 mph. So, I’m happy. It’s a beginning!
Merry Christmas! Go spend time with your family
Workout:
I was sitting here typing in my workouts and all of a sudden I heard loud sirens pounding through the streets! I looked out my window and there was an ambulance and two fire trucks going around the other circle across from mine. I thought… OH MY GODNESS… there must be a fire or a murder or something!
Then they turn around and come down my street too! I was like… are they lost? Our complex is pretty big! What on earth are they doing? Is some madman on the loose?
I started to cry when I saw it was SANTA! He was riding on the back on the Fire Engine as they came around slowly. All the kids, who normally annoy me around here, came running out to wave. It was so cute and made me feel so happy! I’m still teary eyed just writing about it!
This really made my day… three beautiful things rolled into one solid wonderful ending to my day!
Thank you Santa! I do believe!
