It's really hard to come up with post titles for these!  So, I'm just not gonna.

Since I didn't get my lazy buns up this morning, I decided to go for a run after work.  Set out to do 2 miles, but after yesterday, I knew I could do better, so I ran for 25 minutes (2.3 miles) and then walked the rest of the way for a total of 3.1 miles.  I probably should have ran the whole way, but nope, not gonna make excuses.  I wish I'd ran the whole way.  Next time! 

Today's distance:  3.1 miles

Beautiful day...not so beautiful run!

I got out there and went for a run, but it was not a good one.  My body was fighting back the whole way.  I've been having some tightness in my right heel, and that was pretty uncomfortable today too.  Ice and stretching!  Just wasn't feelin' it today, but that's okay.  It was absolutely gorgeous out there, so that made up for it.  ;) 

Today's distance:  2.3 miles

It is beautiful outside!

and my hubby and I just went for a walk!

Today's distance:  2.6 miles

Dud..

this morning was kind of a dud.  I woke up with a strong adversion to running.  Well, actually a strong adversion to going outside.  It was really, really foggy, and I decided to listen to my instincts and stay in.  I contemplated doing some pilates, but decided against it.  Then, I tried doing some weights, but that just wasn't flowing.  So, as time ran out I panicked and decided to go for a fast 10 minute run.  {by this time it was lighter out and not as scary....yes, i'm a baby} I went for 1:30 before my body said screw it, and I walked.  Yep, walked.  I guess it's better than nothing.  At least that's what I'm telling myself. 

Today's Distance:  1 mile. 


oh, an update on the weight loss front:  this week, no gain, no loss.  I'm happy with that considering that the first week I lost 5.6 and that this week brought with it a certain womanly gift, if you will.  I say, maintaining in the face of that is a victory!  ;)

day 2...I'm on a roll!

this morning it was much harder to get out of bed, but i did it! 

did a little run/walk action, knocked out 2.3 miles.  booyah.

today's distance:  2.3 miles

It's so hot, morning runs are the only option!

I got my lazy bones up this morning and went for a jog/walk.  I really, really, really have to get back at it!  I have to say it was really nice being up and out as the sun was coming up.  Such a great way to start the day.  Now, I just have to do it again tomorrow! 

p.s. I'm starving!  Morning exercise will do that to ya!  ;)

Today's distance:  2.4 miles

Walks...

Friday night, Jon and I took advantage of the cool weather after a storm rolled through.  We went on a nice long walk, and talked.  It was awesome!

Friday's distance:  3 miles

Last night, Amanda and I were lucky enough to be together for a walk!  yay!  We had to cut it a little short due to a creepy guy with a great dane, but we managed to get in 1.7 miles and a whole lotta girl talk!  ;)  {don't forget to add this to your total, Amanda!} 

Monday's distance:  1.7 miles

Total distance:  4.7 miles.

We also went for a little bike ride Saturday evening...does that count toward DBF?  Kinda seems like cheating.  I won't count it toward the distance!

distance:  .7 miles

Counterintuitive...

My back has been hurting again all day today.  I couldn't stand up straight, and felt like my bum was sticking out!  I knew only one thing was going to make it better.  Jon and I went for a nice long walk and I cannot tell you how much better I feel!  It's so counterintuitive, but exercise makes the back pain go away!  I always think I'm in too much pain to do anything, but really, that's exactly what I need.  I'm pretty sure that there is a link to the back pain and sitting for long periods of time.  Not a good combo with a desk job. That's exactly why I need to get moving!  I feel like I've been saying that for months, and I'm ready to do something about it!  No more excuses.  I'm going to work on consistency.  Not worrying about how far, or how fast, just that I get some activity in every day.  Once I master that, I'll move on to the others.  

Oh, we also saw where they've staked out a trail near our house!  I'm so excited and can't wait to see where it leads to!  :)

Today's Distance:  3 miles

Dr....

I have to go to the doctor this morning for my yearly exam...boo.  But, since I had extra time this morning, I got up and put in 2.5 miles!  I ran 10, walked 5, ran 5, walked 5, ran 5, walked 2.5.  I didn't have much steam this morning, but I'm glad I got it in anyway.  Now, off to the new Dr.  I had to change doctors due to an insurance change.  I hope I like the new one!  :|

Today's distance:  2.5 miles

Perfect weather for a run!

It's 59 degrees and sunny...perfect weather for a run.  I got home from work and hit the road.  I thought I was going to need some long sleeves, but I'm glad I left them at home!  My sleeveless top and capris were just right!  ;)

Today's Distance:  2.4 miles {2.0 run/0.4 walk}

*********************************************
oh, and I forgot, yesterday I put in a 2/3 mile walk at lunch....not much, but every little bit counts, right!?

Yesterday's Distance:  .66 miles

Evening Walk....

Jon and I went for a walk this evening.  I just love long walks with my sweetie!  Of course, when we got home we promptly went to the store to get stuff to make lava flows.  Good thing we walked!

Total Distance:  2.6 miles

yesterday's walk...

I forgot to post my walk from lunch yesterday!  I did 2.3 miles on my break again!  Hopefully I'll get more in this weekend!

Today's total:  2.3 miles

lunch walking again...

i took another walk today over lunch.  {this time solo}  it felt so good to be out in the sunshine and fresh air!  i was thinking while i walked about what a shame it is that there is such a short window of time to take advantage of walking at lunch.  During the winter it's just too darn cold, and then once it gets too warm, you get all sweaty and would be unfit to return to the office.  Right now, it's just right!

Today's distance:  2 miles

It's been a while!

Wow!  It has been a while.  I guess you could say that I've fallen off the horse yet again!

Today, I walked 3 miles with a friend over lunch, and let me tell you, I am exhausted!  I'm not sure if it's from the walk, or just from trying to get back into the swing of things after vacation, but I can hardly keep my eyes open today!

It does feel good to have gotten some exercise though!  Yay!

Today's Distance:  3 miles

hey!  look at that!  I just went over the 100 mile mark!  Only 431.1 to go!  {only}
