Day 62- Halloween!

     It is still beautiful weather here...temps are pushing mid to upper 70's, breeze is strong from the south and the skies are partly cloudy! I love this kind of weather!
   I managed a 10 miler today. The time was poor but the work out effective. I am just glad to be able to cover the distance anymore...I guess.
   I am slimming down VERY slowly, but slimming non the less. If I can stay healthy I am on track for another successful training segment! Happy Halloween! Peace!

Day 64-Shelled

 It's that time of year....the acorns are down and still dropping. Oh how the Deer love White Oak acorns, too. I was assaulted today by a herd of acorns....I survived.
   Also, we heard firearms discharging today. It's youth hunting weekend. The weather remains Indian Summer. So wonderful!! I ran another short and sweet run. Taking care to not OD on running (which I have done many times in the past). 3.1 miles easy. Finished the week with 26.1. Increase next week! Hope all is well with you! Peace!

Day 65

     We are still enjoying a time of Indian Summer. I am flat lovin' it! These temps make for enjoyable miles! I am way ahead of the schedule this week! I ran a short 3 miler with one 4 minute pickup. This gives me 23 miles this week with a goal of 25. Thus, I will probably run 3-4 tomorrow!!
  Tomorrow will be very busy but I ought to have time to relax with a run!
 Hope you are well! Peace!

Day 66

     So I decided to weight in yesterday. Much to my surprise....down around 2-3 pounds. The scale was wavering between two opinions-182-183-so I'm glad about that!!
    I decided to enjoy an easy run today. The pace would be around 50% effort. It was a good little jog. So 5 miles in today! 20 total so far with the goal of 25 this week. Hope you are well! peace!

Day 67

    I think at times I am a whiner. Every little ache and pain causes me great alarm. I know as a runner that these discomforts are a fact of life....but today....well I didn't feel like running in the rain so I hit the treadmill. Oh the Treadmill is so forgiving! I decided to make the run fun so I did 8X.25 mile pickups @ 7mph with a minute rest in between each segment.
   This has great benefits! I am even looking forward to doing some (modified) Yassos in the near future.
   So 6 treadmiles today. Hope you are well! Peace!
  

Day 69-Indian Summer

   I've been struggling to get my miles in...last Saturday was just to hectic and filled with ministry activity for me to get a run.
   Sunday is always an off day. So Finally I got back on the road today. It is absolutely beautiful here! This spell of Indian Summer is so wonderful!
   Shorts and a tank top on the run, sun, 75 degrees...perfect! 9 miles-kinda slow but got it done.
  Hope you are well.....each day we have is a precious gift! Peace!

Day 72

       So I am feeling like I'm not losing any weight. I have been diligent in watching and abstaining from wantless calories.
    Today I slogged 3.1 miles. Felling fat....but not going to quit! Peace!
