First day back in so long! Felt a little weird, I have to admit. But it was great to be out running.  Jordan and I went together and I had my Garmin, so it was like a double rainbow! Walked a lot on mile 3.. so outta shape!!

Frank and I went out for a very short run, then walked about a mile too.

Okay, this was BRUTAL!! I felt absolutely terrible.  Tired, tired and out of shape.  Getting back in to this is not fun. I just wanted to walk the entire time because I was so tired.  So I basically did. Work has been soo incredible crazy lately too which doesnt make things easier.  Cold, rainy and dark. Shall I go on?  I could complain so more...

This was interesting... Went out after work to have a couple of drinks with coworkers because it was someones last day.  I told Jordan no matter what, make me go running with him. So like a good husband, he waited for me to go running and when I got home he insisted that I go, even though I was in no mood. (Funny how things come full circle?!) So, went for a short run- not as bad as I though but still no good.

It was very windy, incredibly windy!! But started to feel good, at least it was sunny! 

In-laws came and helped us spread bark dust in the flower beds and it felt good to be outside working. Cant wait for summer!! Here's to more 5mile ++ runs!! :))) And less walking!

It is so nice to have someone who encourages me to get out, even if it is just for a couple of miles.  Once again, I didnt want to go running but Jordan made me!! :) Plus I know Frankie needs it too! (PS- He went to the vet yesterday and he's lost 20lbs since this time last year!!) I guess pets do start to look like their owners, or is it the other way around?! They say he is good health and will live longer because of the weight loss.. Good deal.

I dont know why last night I felt so great and then this morning I was so tired and slow?! Oh well, still happy I got out.  It was snowing lightly at first but it's not quite cold enough to stick.  I hope it doesnt snow more tonight!! I'm ready for spring and sun! :)  

Hopefully today is better at work than yesterday!  I completely forgot about a presentation and luncheon I was supposed to host at the office. WTHeck?! How did I forget this?!  Luckily, the dealers association called at 9:30am to make sure we were still on and I called in lunch to be delivered, booked a room and threw some slides together and somehow pulled it off.  God definitely had my back on this one!
