Lacking Originality

It's been a chug and plug kind-of day and I'm all out of originality. Had a good cardio workout that definitely counts for training--especially these early stages. It's based on the Biggest Loser workouts. It takes a lot for me to feel a workout in my legs, but this I feel! No progress in fundraising yet, but hope to get a little done yet this week before a big Smith weekend. On Saturday, my oldest neice celebrates her Sweet 16. Not sure how that happened since I haven't aged a day since she was born. On Sunday, we Smith kids are taking the parents out to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Big weekend and I'm not sure how I'm going to get my training in. Ah well! I suspect that will be the theme of my training this season: how will I get my training done?

Wow! It's the middle of February!

I'm having a tough time getting my head into training and fundraising this year. The days evaporate so quickly! I managed a long run of four miles last Sunday. It wasn't one of the fun ones. 1/2 mile in I knew I would love my new Brooks jacket, but needed another layer on my legs. It was one of those days out there that I just kept thinking about loved-ones and friends who face treatments and don't have a choice. What is a small amount of time in the cold compared to that? I hope to mix it up and do a bit of cross-training this year. Tomorrow I'll do a pretty stiff cardio workout at lunch. I think I look forward to the change-up of routine! Too tired and too late to do much more today.
