4 More Days

Soooo, after a few weeks of no running, followed by a weekend of gardening and running, today I was just not feeling it. BUT, we still got up off the couch and went outside.  No running, but we walked the entire length of our route.

Steps: 7185

Distance: 3.4 miles

26-11 More Days

More excuses - some legit reasons, others - just laziness.  Busted water heater, replacing said water heater, Brandi Carlile concert, Disneyland, BBQ/Pool party, long work days, too tired, too hungry, too hot, too late, lots of reasons for not running during this chunk of time. (Although we did a ton of walking for two days at Disneyland)

Whoa! Thursday night I got sick. I mean SICK.  Like, vomiting sick.  I hadn't been sick like this since I don't know when.  So obviously I wasn't going to do any puking and running.  And, since I hadn't been sick like this in a looooooong time, recovery also took a loooooong time.

So rather than do a separate post for each day I was sick, I'm just grouping them all right here.

Today's run was pretty miserable.  It's the first day that the heat and mugginess really affected me. It was hard to breath out on the Bike Path. We did our best anyways, and actually managed to travel around the same amount as we usually do.

Steps: 7526

Distance: 3.561 miles

Distance (jogging): .76 miles

I hope the weather isn't like this on the day of the run. Ugh.

So day 2 of this headache.  Is it wrong to say that I am actually missing running??  Could I be converting??    Hahahahahaha!!! Don't be fooled, people.  That's just my headache making me delusional.  This headache will pass, and I'll be up and running again soon...maybe I need a Dr. Pepper...

Aaaaaaand again, no running today.  I was down with a nasty headache.  Even went to bed early. Ugh!

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.

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

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!

I hurt.  My feet hurt. My thighs hurt. My knees hurt. My butt hurts. My shoulders hurt. My back hurts.

Found out today that I have a running stalker.  She sits in her car, unsuspectingly, and then yells at me as I jog by. I don't know who it is, but there was an all too familiar patchouli smell emanating from her car...
