Dark mornings...

Despite the dark, I was up and running this morning.  It is oh-so difficult to get out of bed this time of year, especially early!  Luckily, yesterday was the shortest day, so it should only get easier from here!

I've been trying so hard to eat right the last week.  {i have caved to some christmas goodies, but overall have succeeded!} That, paired with a little bit of exercise, and I'm actually seeing it on the scale this week! yay!

Today was an indoor woggle I guess.  I alternated between a really brisk walk and 6 mph running for a total of 2.26 miles in 27:27 minutes.

Today's total:  2.26 miles

Fast Run...

I was up at 5:30 this morning to hit the treadmill.  I had to get an etsy order ready to ship before work too, so I knew I had to make it quick.  I wanted to get in 2 miles, and really challenged myself to do it as quickly as possible without killing myself.  I ran it all at 6-7 miles per hour, which, for me, is fast!
Every day I'm able to win over sleep and get up to work out is a victory in my eyes.  I love me some sleep, but I really do love working out in the morning.  It is just so nice to have it done for the day!  This was especially important today, since I will be indulging in some yummy mexican food at our company holiday party.

Todays distance:  2 miles
