NOOO! Just wrote an entire entry then it got deleted! UGH..

Okay, I AM SO LAME! Today was the first run all week. I totally slacked and decided to sleep instead of get up early. Traveling to the East is so hard because of the time change and then to get up early to work out was just not happening!  Happy to be home and on my regular schedule. On a better note, I went further today than I have in a LONG time. I had to walk a ton, but I'll take it. There were so many slug babies out today. Gross.

Stretched a lot at the end of the run, my legs felt so tight because of all the sitting and lack of activity this week. I hate that! Then did 100 situps and 3 sets of 7, bench pressing 65lbs.  

No I must clean house and pay bills. :-(((((((((((((

Just walking with Mom and Frank.  Took the day off which was wonderful!  We got pedicures and did some shopping and went out to lunch. Why can't this be my life everyday?!

Ran this AM with Frankie.  Wasn't very cold and not raining! My legs actually were really hot by the end.  The new Under Armour leggings are so warm, good to know for the future when it does get really cold! It is ear warmer weather but not glove weather, just yet.

It was really hard to wake up early this AM, stayed up too late watching junk TV.  :-(  On a better note, I think my Pandora finally gets me so that's nice.  My legs feel pretty tight, I need to go stretch.  Also, saw on TV that a girl from Portland placed 2nd in the New York Marathon. Pretty impressive. Friday? Are you here yet? Wish I had today off for Veterans day!  Happy Veterans day and thank you to all of our veterans for your service!

All I wanted to do was sleep today! What's wrong with me?  I slept until 8 and then went down on the couch and immediately wanted to go back to bed. Somehow I convinced my self to go out running. I still feel sooo tired just want to sleep all day! 

The run was pretty good, cold, wet, foggy but pretty good.  There are so many leaves on the ground I wish they would clean them off the sidewalks so I don't feel like I'm going to slip and fall!
