More Runnin'

Wow, this blog is going to get pretty boring real fast if I just keep on posting my runs and not much else. Oh well, no time to do anything too exciting now. Here's my run for today:



What is it about running that I'm willing to get up at 6 am on a Saturday to make sure I get my run in? Hmm...not sure really. I know it's something that can't easily be explained and most people don't get unless they come down with the running bug themselves. I enjoyed the latest podcast from Phedippidations during my run. I really like listening to this podcast by Steve "Runner" because it makes me feel somewhat connected to other runners, though I'm mostly running alone. Steve Runner has a real gift for putting thoughts to words and I identify with a lot of what he says.

This afternoon we took a 3 mi. walk through McAllister Park. So that brings my total mileage of the day to about 9. Not bad, and good thing after I didn't go anywhere yesterday and didn't get swimming in this week. Through today, I'm inches away from putting in 60 miles so far this year. That breaks down to 2.3 miles a day. I'd like to get in a few more miles a week, but I'm happy with how I've done so far.

No update on weight this week. I'm staying off the scale until February. I should have an update on the competition between my sister and me next week. Eating-wise, I'm been doing fairly well and I don't fee guilty about what I've eaten this week. Today, we went to a nice cafe called Quicksands. My meal wasn't too bad, and better than it could have been, but I did indulge in a marvelous piece of carrot spelt cake. Mmm...

I'm looking forward to another good week next week, and hopefully a good checkin on the scale.
