Big day...still having the pain in the lower body from my first lower body workout in a while but I maintained that I WOULD go to PF for upper body. I did it along with abs and lower back. Plus a 5 mile earlier than usual run because my visual "accuweather" forcast said "Get out there before it starts thunder/lightning". I was rained on for about a mile but it kept me cool, there was no sun out and no lightning. I'm glad I didn't go by the accuweather on the computer or I-Phone. I'm proud of myself for the determination. I so didn't want to do any exercise today but did quite a bit. I feel so much better for it.

Keeping up the miles...

Today was a busy day. I did both upper and lower body at PF plus a mile on the elyptical. Then, later in the evening, sun still up but lowering over the horizon, I did my 5 miles. Not as fast as I had hoped but still a reasonable time. It was scorching hot out today and no wind so it was hard to maintain the speed I wanted. My body was very cooperative, just not the lungs!!! i will take tomorrow off to let the muscles recoop and then hope for another Wed. like today.....well, except for the heat and humidity.....not too much to ask for, is it?!!!

Quick PF run...

Okay, add another mile. I went to PF with KJ and did one on the elyptical before an upper body workout. Wasn't east but I made it through. It's amazing how much I am sweating these days. I'm not on top of my game this month! Sucks!

I'm lucky to have finished today!!! Bad day for me. Earlier than normal but still a hot sun beating down. I still got out there and plugged along. I didn't run as much as usual and when I did, it was slower than molasses in...well, you get the picture! Menopausal symptoms are kicking in stronger than ever and really trying to bring me down. I'm not going wiliingly. I will have to go kicking and screaming back at it!!! I hate these ups and down swings!!!

Tears from heaven

I hit the twelve hundred mile mark. It always feels good to have another hundred completed. I waited until the window of opportunity was getting narrow before making the final decision to go out in between raindrops. I had to motivate myself then, while I was getting my exercise clothes on, it started to pour! Hadn't rained in two days!!! So, I stood by the door looking outside then looking at accuweather on my IPhone then looking outside then radar on IPhone.....I finally said I'm just going. There was no thunder/lightning that I could hear, even though it said there were thunderstorms in the area. I took a chance and God and I had a good cry on the second half of the run. It's okay. I don't melt in water!

Quick, dodging raindrops run. Actually, it was more like "I think it's going to rain any second" but it never did!!! Good time. Much sweat. Legs swift.

Maintaining pace...

Another run under an hour. I went out in the sun at 7 pm-ish. A bit warm at 87 but clouds soon covered my path and made it bearable the rest of the way. The great thing is that I have no pain anywhere. I am good to go and go I do.
