Good news, bad news

The bad news is, I haven't had time to continue my blog for the last 10 days.

The good news; I have continued my training.

The last 2 weeks have been very busy.

I'm happy to report that 2010 is starting off with a bang at work.

New & old customers are placing orders.

Ty is ready to go off to Italy for 3-4 months.

Between his business program and traveling opportunities; I'm jealous!

Pam is the new communication coordinator for SF 49ers stadium campaign.

Peter, well he's too busy putting together his episodes of Celebrity Apprentice that we haven't been able to talk to him.

Ok ok I know, to know me is to know about my kids!

Back to my training....

I'm about to finish week 4 and I'm feeling great.

I have had some truly joyful runs.

I even ran outside...I just couldn't do another treadmill run.

It was a sunny day but only 29 degrees outside.

I was doing a short run, only 3 miles.

But something got into me!

Either being outside for the 1st time in a while, the cold or the beautiful scenery; I ran 3.1 miles in 31 minutes!

Me, doing a 10 minute mile....whoo hoo!

Don't know how this happened, maybe it won't happen again but who knows?

The cold air didn't hurt my lungs like it did the first time I ran in cold weather.

Whatever happened that day; I hope it happens again!

Bottom line; I'm enjoying the Hal Higdon's novice 1/2 marathon running program.

I'm running 3 days a week and cross training 2 days a week.

I enjoy the StairMaster but not crazy about the elliptical machine...thinking of taking a spin class instead.

I do love to bike ride!

The only thing I need to do is add strength conditioning & stretching.

So much to do and so little time....
