6-miler and surprise beauty in fall

(I forgot to hit ‘publish’ last night   )

Today was a run day.  Too cold to go in the upper 20s when I first got up, so I had breakfast first

I worked for a while until the temp hit 39 degrees and headed out.  Pre run fuel:

The addiction is [...]

8-miler, running thoughts and ice cream

Well – last night was ice cream at Friendly’s!  I got a happy endings sundae with butter crunch ice cream and peanut butter sauce.

It was very good and I enjoyed every bite!  Plus it was nice just to get out of the house for a while.

So, this morning was the 8-mile jog!  [...]

Brick and GoWear fit

Well, the weather wasn’t promising when I got up, but I decided to go for the brick anyway.  John actually decided to join me for the bike leg, which just about made my jaw fall on the floor.  He is usually sleeping when I get up and leave the house for the Y.

First, I [...]

Here is another shot of a typical day for me activity wise. Click on the image to see it up close.

Today’s workout at the gym. Note how I actually get up earlier than I had set up the GoWear fit for initially. So, it doesn’t have the calorie burn from that earlier time [...]

GoWear fit fun

Snapshot of one of my more active days.

Started out at the Y, and you can see the dead zone where I did swimming, since I can’t wear it in the pool.Then was a 40 minute pace jog. High intensity stuff, running is. Then 30 minutes on the recumbent. The jog and bike alone burned [...]

More GoWear fit stuff

I am liking the GoWear fit. I was at the Y the last 2 days, and here are what the workouts look like.

Yesterday was jogging, upper body strength training, jogging – then the swim, where I wasn’t wearing it.

Today was on the precor bike and then lower body strength training.

Interesting how the [...]

Is the icy grip of winter over?

Today was in the 30s, above freezing, and tomorrow it might actually rain! On top of feet of snow, that should be fun.Anyway, it really feels like we might have turned a corner on the death grip of winter. I love the change in seasons, but this winter seemed harder than usual. A winter home [...]
