It was another No Run day.

During the week, our daily run takes us through the neighborhood as we travel over to Oleander St. We go up and down the street looking at the historical houses, reading the plaques, and picking out the things we'd like to add to Amelia (our house's name, you know, like Tara from Gone with the Wind.) Well spring is in the air and the flowers are all blooming like crazy right now.  Ness's allergies kicked in and she was feeling pretty crappy today. So we stayed in and watched New Girl instead.

No run for us today.  Between the garage clean-out on Saturday, and the Goal-Reaching Run yesterday morning, followed by an exciting 75th birthday party that afternoon, we needed a day to recover.

WOO HOO!!!!! Today a goal was reached!!! I ran a full mile!!!

We went out to the Bike Path today after hitting the Farmer's Market and decided to make Sundays a Longer Run Day. No set plan on how long to run, just as long as we both still felt good enough to keep going. After piecing together all of the jogs, it turns out that I ran a full mile!  So now, that's been added to the daily run - running a full mile, walking two miles.

Today I also did not have any caffeine. (Yeah, that means no Dr. Pepper!)  I don't know when my last caffeine-free day was. Next weekend, maybe I'll go two days without a Dr. Pepper.

Saturday morning we got up and did our run before the day started. It was a good thing too! The rest of hte day was spent completely gutting the garage and installing new shelves.  So it was like two workouts in one day!  I deserve a break. Lol

Today there was no run, as I was laid up with a headache. :(

The wind was still gale-force today, so we decided to stay indoors.  I pulled out this DVD and we danced away for an hour.  You go through warm-up, Paso Doble, Cha-Cha, Samba, and Jive, then a Cool Down.

My favorite is the Jive.  I also think I sweated today more than any other day this week.  But it was so much fun. Maybe I'll Jive my way through this 5K.

Today the wind decided to kick in.  I called it resistance trainging. lol.  It cut our outing short because dust kept blowing into my eyes, and Ness wound up with a nasty sneezing.coughing fit. Plus, I was having trouble catching my breath, and my right leg was hurting.

Ness came up with a mini-goal - next week, jog 1/4 mile at one time. I've been able to do about .15-.20 mile. Time to up the ante!

Ok ok, the weekend is over. Time to get serious again.

Slowly...Gotta work back up to the distance we were jogging last week. Plus, our niece Hazel came over for an hour so we didn't get out until later in the evening, and couldn't stay out once it started getting dark.

YUM!!

So it's Sunday. We decided to try a change of scenery. Took our route to the Bike Path. We saw rabbits and squirrels and even an egret. Only one bicyclist was a jerk as he zipped past us all speedy-fast, telling us to "wake-up."  He could've moved over into the next lane instead of trying to pass two joggers in the same lane.  Whatever.

Ness misread the pedometer and we jogged ALOT less than we had been. LOL. 

After our run, we stopped by the Kaiser Permanente Farmer's Market for some fresh fruit.  Wound up buying 3 plants (Cherry tomato, senorita jalapeno and pepperoncini) and trying Okra Chips (OMG delicious!! Definitely getting some next weekend)  We're gonna try to make this our Sunday morning routine.
