A Runner I Am Not..... yet.

Last night I went for a walk.

I came SO close to backing out....

my usual walking buddy was not 

going to make it so I would be alone...

in the dark at the high school track.

AND I was in the middle of a cute

Christmas Show on T.V.

But I made myself go and I am

SO GLAD I did!

I didn't stay long, just 40-45 minutes...

But I got in two miles.

4 Laps around is a mile, so I 

walked laps 1-3, jogged lap 4,

walked laps 5-7, and jogged

most of lap 8.

This may not seem like much

to a seasoned runner, or someone

in shape, but this was awesome for me!

F$#&%@G Water Weight... Grrrrr.

My feet and ankles have been swelling

since mid-last week. 

And I have no idea why. 

I am very careful with my 

sodium intake, and

I'm drinking LOTS of water.

Yet, each night, my ankles

look like this.  

And you can just imagine what 

effect it is having on the scale.

Somebody Get Me Some Pain Meds - PLEASE!

I am SO SORE today!!

Last night after my 

daughters Softball game

a friend and I went to

the school track and 

walked for a few hours.

I have no idea how many

loops we made around it,

because we talked the entire

time which really helped the

time fly by.  Twice, we made

ourselves run.
