run into the sunset

glad I got a quick run in today before the sun went down. esp since the damn gym was closed this morning on the way home from work. still haven't run to the gym. yesterday ran through the park and the cemetery...i kind of figure, if i am running, what do I need to go to the gym for? and i am really intimidated about running on lakeway....i will do it one of these days, but really how bad for me can running be?

and the point of the gym membership was to get motivated about fitness again, and i am so, it still is worth it since i am running, or something nearly every day.

quick run

got up at almost 1 today to meet matt for lunch at 1. then went to the mall and bought some clothes for vegas, work, and lounging. got home at 6, since it was almost dark wanted to do a quick run down lakeway and back, but was too impatient waiting for the lights, so just went through the cemetery, which was much more pleasant than lakeway would have been. it was short, about 20 mins, but I ran the whole way, so it evens out.

tomorrow, it's running to the gym for sure.

damn it

got called into to work at midnight. so now when am i going to run/workout tomorrow? j and i are supposed to go to lunch in the early afternoon, guess i'll workout in the evening. i may or may not have to work tomorrow night (scheduled to, but may get it covered b/c of tonight)....really need to work out tomorrow. guess no getting back to the schedule yet.

damn it

tired....

worked a day shift tuesday, definitely not used to getting up at 5:30 in the morning. Then came home and my stomach was still hating. My back hurt too, so I thought it was somthing fairly serious--so I called the doc's office and they told me to take it easy and eat bland food (BRAT diet kind of stuff). so i laid around all night and had some rice for dinner. I ended up napping for a couple hours and then felt pretty good. stayed up until about midnight, then slept until 11:30, which i really did NOT want to do. I wanted to get back onto my schedule of getting up at 9, slowly waking up-coffee, breakfast, etc. with sleeping so late and jake cooking breakfast, i didn't feel good about going to for a run, and didn't think it would be good eating breakfast so late. Had to work at 3, and then ended up working a double, so slept in all day today. Woke up at 2:30 today, and wanted to work out, but just never found the motivation.

I'm so bound to my schedule now--I love the morning run. Tomorrow, back on schedule, and running at about 10. Not sure about Saturday or Sunday since I work nights Friday and Saturday. We'll see what happens, either way, I will work out-either running or at the gym.

aw crap....

don't drink coffee within an hour of running...or maybe it was the birth control pill. either way, about a mile into my run this morning I threw up. ugh. it may have also been because i was too warm. I was freezing when i first stepped outside, so i put my light fleece vest on over my light longsleeve...once i started running, i was too warm, but didn't want to turn back home since i am trying stay on schedule this morning. i even got up early to run to make sure i would get to the office by 10...well, now I'll get in there by 11 because i had to walk most of my run....darn it.

at least i have ballet tonight, so the day isn't a total workout loss.

mmmm....rain!

Ran up Yew St Hills today and then back down. Short run, but brutal hills, so it evens out. It's raining pretty hard too, so love that!

Ran through the cemetery and Whatcom Falls Park yesterday, and loved that too! Love the new neighborhood for running :)

I love Whatcom Falls Park!

Ran through the park today. I cannot believe it is so close! Best run ever. Did a loop from Woburn St. up the stairs through the park and back to Woburn St. It was wonderful. It was hotter than shit though, I can't wait for the weather to cool down for good running.

Ballet is going really well too, Jane said last night that she would rehearse me at the current level for one more week and then I could move up. Woo hoo. Love it! Still have a lot to do, but it does feel good to have mastered basics and now I can move up.
