Hippie Chick 2010

Well, I was able to complete the 1/4 marathon (6.5 miles) in 2 hours, 1 minute, and 41 seconds!  I placed 189th out of 206 finishers.  There were 655 finishers in the 1/2 marathon.  It Rocked!

training

I did pretty good this week on workouts.  Did water aerobics on Tue & Thur;  23 miles on the bike and a little bit on the treadmill along with the pace circuit.  Trying really hard not to hurt my feet too much.

39 days...

I was able to walk a mile on the treadmill in less than 20 minutes last night.  Need to work on more mileage.  Gotta hit the gym every day!

Return to normal?

Goodness it has been a while since I posted.  Just spent the weekend in Portland at the Baby Boomer Fitness conference learning how to train people in this age group. 

Haven't been able to get much training time in as my feet still hurt most of the time.  I am still hoping to participate in the Hippie Chick 1/2 marathon in May.

Girls are back in school after having Spring Break off.  Although, Abby came home sick at noon.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas celebration. 

I've not been working out much at all due to VERY sore feet and painful right ankle.  I do a little biking at the gym but walking is not my friend and jogging is completely out of the question.

Veteran's Day

Thank you to ALL veterans ~ past, present, and future.

Got in a 30 minute walk this morning in the drizzling rain.  At the gym this eve I managed a 6 mile bike ride and 1/2 hour on the PACE machines.

Lost 2 pounds since last week!

Soreness

Awoke to sore legs today.  Calf muscles are tight and painful from many trips up and down the stairs yesterday working on 3 computers in the house.  Gotta get the lactic acid burned out today.  Hannah's birthday sleepover party is tonight so gotta get ready for that.

Workout

Actually made it to the gym today.  Only made 1/2 mile on the treadmill before feet hurt too much.  Did walk Abby to school and home afterwards, as well.

Happy Birthday Hannah

Hannah is 12 today.  For her birthday she got her ears pierced and her hair cut which she donated to "Locks of Love".  She'll have her sleepover on Friday night.
