Ran 2.5 today!

After not running for 6 months - at all, I ran 2.5 miles today.  I was diagnosed with arthritis in my kneeslast summer - boo.  However, I have decided (as the pounds are setting in), I would rather be as fit as I can be and get the "happy" effects of endorphines than baby my knees.  What if, I baby them all these years until I am old only to find out that in the end my knees are crappy as an old lady, anyhow.  They have knee replacement surgery and I am sure the technology will get better!  So, bring it on!!  However, I am typing this with ice on the aforementioned knees :)  I will not totally abuse them!!

Logan's triathlon

Ummm... we have a new goal. July we are going to do Logan's Triathlon! I'm totally serious! Get your training pants on ladies, cause I mean it! 500m swim, 12 mile bike, then a 5K! I'm even posting this on both blogs (mine and gettin' skinny) so that we'll see it twice and remember how we're supposed to be training! TRAIN! It shouldn't even be that hard! DO it! do it DO IT!

DO IT!

pedometer test run...

So, I got a free pedometer from Jolly Time Pop Corn. I used it for the first time today. Boy, do I like the results I got! I walked 8066 steps on my speedwalk with stroller today! That's 375.4 calories and 3.504 miles! Go me!

3 weeks strong...

Well, I have offically been better the last three weeks. If I continue with this track record, I will have 4 days a week were I have REALLY worked out...You know, not just the "I'll run on the treadmill a mile", which I have been known to do (which is so much better than nothing at I, I know). GO ME!

Me too, me too!

Tamme, I think Amy has been the only one really doing that much until just lately. I found out I've been struggling with NO ENERGY due to a hypothyroid problem that litterally makes me get no sleep and want to eat ALL the time to try and give me energy that I was lacking before. So glad that I was able to figure that out. Anyway, been on meds for a about four weeks and I finally HAVE ENERGY! I've been working out four-to-five days a week and eating less and I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!

The run was a few weeks ago. I didn't know until two days before. Amy and I both didn't make it. We need a new goal to reach. I VOTE FOR HAWAII IN 2011!!!! LOL

Miss you both

What the skinny?

When is your run? Or did it already happen? How did it go?

I posted, oh, a few months ago and said I was starting to work out. Well, I lied. I just started last week. I start at 5:30am and work out with some ladies from the branch. Its been fun, but tiring. It feels good to get these muscles moving again.

I want to know how your run was? It might be time for some pictures? Eh? or Aaah?
