Six miler

Carrie J and I ran into town from the six-mile corner on Saturday. It was rainy and cool, but very fun! Tomorrow night I plan to go to Webster to run a 5k. Am I ready? Who knows. Hopefully it is fun. Carrie's son has a game, so she can't come. It is supposed to rain--maybe she can come if the game is rained out. Happy running!!

Running Once Again!

After surviving graduation, I am at it again! I have been running pretty well for a couple of weeks, and hope to continue! Feels good to get outside and go!
Carrie J and I met up by chance tonight and ran with the girls in tow! Take care all, and have a great weekend!

Two More Days

I was itching to run north of town, so last night I did. It was very windy, but at least it pushed me back to town! Tonight I took Ceci for a stroll........maybe I'll run tomorrow night before I pick her up. Wendell is taking RJ to SF to catch a plane to STL. Keep on a truckin'!!!!
Happy Earth Day!!

Runnin in the Rain

I had a great run in the windy rain. Up and down the big hill twice and half way around town. I was kinda in the groove. Running on prom night is kind of a tradition for me, and since RJ didn't go, it was a good way to keep my mind off of that and just chill. Take care all!! Love ya!

Running Update

Hi all! Well, I ran in the rain last night and took Ceci for a run/stroller ride and to the school. Probably only did 2 miles each time. Better than nothing. Hoping to do a long run this weekend. Wish me luck!!

Running at Night

OK, not the smartest thing to do, but I went running at 8:30 last night and actually got in 3 miles before it got pitch black and really cold. Fun. May have to go tonight also. It's called STRESS!! Take Care!

Day 2

I'm on a roll! Ran around town again today. Felt good, temps were fab, although it was a bit windy! Hopefully I can keep this up! Easter is tomorrow--must not eat too much!!!

New Blog

I found a blog on the Argus Leader website written by a runner-lady. Check out the link if you want to subscribe to the feed. More inspiration from real go-go-go girls!!

Renewed Running Fever!

Ok, it has been awhile since I've posted or ran. Today is a new beginning! I went all the way around town and felt great! Time for a long run! We should do a group run. Someone pick a time and date! Carrie James and I have talked about running into town from 6 miles out or so. Might be painful, but fun! Gotta get ready for graduation and that 20 year reunion!!

The Snowy Day...

It started snowing at about 11:00 this morning. It was still snowing after school, so Kelsey decided to help her dad shovel the driveway. Yesterday, the girls and I went to the boys basketball game in Rosholt. Eric is coaching the 7th and 8th grade team for the rest of the season, as the former coach unexpectantly quit. He seemed to really enjoy it, which makes me wonder if he'll want to return to coaching next year?!

The girls have ice skating lessons in Watertown tomorrow. On Sunday, we are riding with the ice skating club to "Stars on Ice," in Minneapolis. The girls are pretty excited about going, but it will be a long trip. I will take pictures and post them when we get home.

Have a great weekend!

YOGA ROCKS

I actually made it to yoga today....10 minutes late! Sounds like in March it will start at 4:15 instead. It was very peaceful. I really saw the light when she hit the gong! Cool........

Welcome Jen. YOU are always an inspiration when it comes to excercising! You Go Girl!

Hello Ladies,
I'm pumped because I actually ran yesterday during my walking workout! Yea, the longest I've run in a long time. Plan on doing some more today... my goal will be to be able to run to my mailbox by the time Spring rolls around! So keep going.... I'll catch up with you eventually! :) How far do you all walk/run in a normal week?

Hey Ladies!

Thanks for the invitation:)  I'm excited to join the group and encourage each other to exercise and get fit!

Streaky

My exercising seems very "streaky". On Saturday, Carrie J and I went out for a nice, cold run, and Sunday I went out and felt really good! Monday was busy and wet, Tuesday I went to yoga and really liked it, and I hope to go on Thursday. I know I need to make myself go, but there is just so much to do! I wish I needed less sleep! Everyone hang in there.....spring is right around the corner???

Run

Let's find one! I went out for about 2 miles Thursday night, braving the dark and ice, and maybe 1 1/2 miles on Friday after school. I felt REALLY GOOD on Thursday and so-so on Friday. I thought YOGA was the key to not being tired but who knows? OK, Carrie J and I are on for a Saturday AM run, and I think both Carrie's and I should shoot for YOGA at 4:00 on TUESDAY. Yes! I will check the running sites-we need MOTIVATION!!!! Here are the sites for all:

LET'S DO IT!!!!!

Let's Go Girls!

Ok Ladies, I'm still staying true and working out at least 5 days a week. But in all honestly I cannot do both walking and yoga. Too much time... I will try my yoga on the weekends. What kind of run is coming up in this spring? Close to home would be nice.... Keep going summer is just around the corner!

Speed Work

Hi gals! Yes, Sheila finally got moving! After too many birthdays this weekend, I was ready to run! I got on the treadmill for 30 minutes tonight. I did some intervals, two minutes running, one minute walking. I worked my way up to 6.4 mph. Thought some speed might kick start things! I have grand plans for working out ALOT this week. I tried to eat healthy today--Kashi Lime Cilantro Shrimp-I got it at Target--yum! C ya later!!

Template Change

Hi again--I changed the template since the black was a little hard to see. Play with it as you like, I am flexible. I thought this looked kind of fresh and summery!!

It's Been Awhile

Hi girls! How is it going? Carrie A. and I worked out Tuesday night. We went 45 min. in the workout room. I was so tired, I really didn't run, but instead did the elliptical and walked. Carrie A. worked out AND went home and did yoga. Good for you!! I NEED to get going! I ate enough to kill a horse last night. Ugh! Winter is getting long. I was going to get out tonight, but we will see what happens. I need to get on that treadmill more often if I can't get outside or to the workout room! Inspire me!!

Ok, I just got in my 2 miles for the day. And have plans for 20 minutes of pilates after the kids go to bed!

brrrrr!!

OK- It was a little colder than I thought, particulary when I got to the north side of town on the hills, but I did it! My around town route on the hills which is about 3.3 mi- I think. It took me aobut 40 minutes, but I had to stop a few times for traffic and dogs! I am glad I did it, but more sore than usual- I must have been a little tense from worrying about slipping. The streets weren't too bad though.

Hi Girls,

Try visiting the web site wholeliving.com/body-and-soul-challenge

It is a five week challenge with some ideas you may or may not find helpful. I'm trying some of them. Especially the journaling and yes I did try the first week... Ha! I only lasted 5 days on the rice! But it did seem to jump start me, at least mentally! Carrie

I'm ready and willing! Here we go!!

It Begins

Hey girls! Are you ready? I want a site that we can use to document our workouts! This is as far as I've gotten....more to come!!!
