Wishful thinking. . .

that I could run with one days rest and still feel as good as I did during Saturday's run. Man I felt like I had cement blocks on my feet! Schyler rode her bike while I ran. That really is nerve racking to make sure she stays off the road when we're approaching hills. I don't plan on doing it very often but she loves to go. I wish I felt more confident in her paying attention to the road because riding her bike 3 & 4 miles a couple times a week would be great exercise for her! So I have another 3 miles to log in today.

Logging in . . .

I ran 3 more miles on Saturday. Let me tell ya, if I could feel like I did on Saturday the whole time I was running, I'd run 7 days a week! Wow, I felt great! No aches, pains, I never really got tired, man what I'd give to have a lot of days like that!

Studying Japanese Culture in 3rd Grade

Schyler's class and Mrs. Urtz's class has been studying all about Japanese culture. One of the kid's mom's donated all these large t-shirts so the 2 classes could make kimonos for their class trip. Both classes went to Wegmans and watched how they make sushi and they all tried it. Of course none of the kids really liked it. Schyler said only the teachers did. Then they went on to a Japanese Restaurant and tried soup and some other food. She said it was a lot of fun. Here's a few photos of her handmade kimono. I took these outside at almost dark so these photos aren't the greatest.

More miles . . .

I forgot to post my miles from Sunday. I got 3 miles in. I was pretty sore from Saturday's 4 miler. Tonight I did 2 miles at the arena. My plan was to run as much and as long as I could LOL! As usual I only get 2 miles out of these legs on that hard uneven concrete.

Woohoo!

This morning the sun was shining and it was warm out! So I got dressed, grabbed my shuffle and went running. I had only ran a mile last night at the arena with the hopes of being able to run outside today. I ended up running 4 miles. I can't believe how much harder it is this year than the last few. Obviously it's my extra weight! My goodness I feel like I've never ran before in my life. I can also feel the shin splits coming on strong now that I've ran a few days this week. Hopefully by icing a lot I can keep the pain down to a minimum. You know how you're suppose to feel so energetic after a workout and ready to go, well today that 4 miles kicked my butt! I felt lethargic all day. Going to try and go out and at least run 3 miles tomorrow morning.

Another 2.5 miles

completed. I ran at the skating arena again. My goal was to do 3 but I just could not get myself to do it. It is so boring running around in a circle not to mention hard concrete and cold. Hopefully the weather will break here and I can run my usual 4 miles on my usual course. Can't stop there or I'll never make it back home! If I can at least get running outside and get back up to my usual 4 mile workout then I can actually consider upping my distance and signing up for the Bmaker!

To the moon!

Schyler and I were bored most of our spring break vacation. The weather was horrible all week except for one day, it got up to about 45 degs. We decided to tough out the cold anyway and got out her moon shoes she got for Christmas. This is her first try with them. I was laughing so hard I could barely take pictures. We had a lot of fun!!
