@starbee It’s so hard to watch our pups age. I’m sorry she didn’t want to use the stairs. She’s being stubborn.???? What about a padded bench that at least gives her an inbetween height? Just give her extra belly rubs and ear scratches!
@starbee I’m so sorry yesterday was so hard!
All that extra food and dehydration are very hard on the body! And you still managed to do great on your run! And boo about your dental work! Great job on sticking with your plan! You will do great at your 5k!Took Winnie for her normal 1.25 mile walk. Managed just over an 18 min/mile walking pace! Winnie has extra pep in her step! She’s usually over a 19 min/mile.
Got all my running layers out last night and left them in the bathroom ready to go first thing this morning. I figured my treadmill run wasn’t that rough, I could run two days in a row and do another 3 miles. 4:30 am my phone rings: delayed opening. WHAT?????
It snowed???
No one ever mentioned snow at work yesterday( FYI teachers anticipate snow more that the students!)
WTFigment??!!!
So, no run this morning. Hopefully the sun will melt the roads and they won’t freeze overnight. If they do, I’ll be on that damn treadmill again
#ineedtomovesouth@eeyorepoohfan It is
now we have Leia we may give the stairs another shot. If Trixie sees Leia use them, I’m sure she will. If Leia’s doing something, Trixie needs to be included 
Thanks for the encouragement! I also wonder if not doing my lunchtime workouts this week has made running harder. I usually go down to the gym on my lunch and do squats, push ups, sit ups, planks, flutter kicks, leg lifts and other stuff, but I’ve always wondered if doing squats and then running the next morning was making things tougher on myself. This week because of my dental appointment and lots going on at work, I’ve only hit the gym once on lunch and I’m thinking that’s actually helping me run not hurting. I will be back at the lunch time workouts next week I hope!@missingWDW You should move South
I couldn’t handle some of these east coast states! OK is bad enough! Sure we’ve had some crazy chilly mornings recently, but that’s not as bad as cold plus snow and ice. We escaped last winter without snow and I’m hoping for the same this year! We get it so infrequently people have no stinkin’ clue how to drive in it. They either go 5 mph or 60 mph. I hate it! But our weather is also crazy up and down, yesterday’s high was 60* today’s is 40*Day 3 of Week 3 complete! Got out there this morning, 38* but felt colder than when I ran Monday despite being warmer. Today it was a little windy which is so hard to run against! First set was strong, second and third set I found myself wishing for the buzzer but I didn’t stop
this for sure isn’t “easy” but at least it’s do-able! Same ratios again as the other two days this week: 4 min walk/7 min run, three times.Total Time: 33:00
Total Distance 2.75 miles
Total Running Time: 21:00Tomorrow I’m taking off of running because Saturday is my 5K. Back to back running days are hard, especially three in a row, so tomorrow I won’t run and Saturday I hope to kick butt! My last 5K was so good that I’m afraid to do worse this time around
I can’t decide if I should make it up on the fly or if I should use set walk/run ratios. I also need to pick up my packet tonight!@missingWDW UGH! That’s so rough when you are ready to run and can’t go!!!! I pray your roads don’t freeze!!! Yes, move south!!! I hear Florida is nice!!!
@bexruns I really do think it’s the smoke! Are you able to go to a gym or take off a bit of time from running until the air quality improves? Go do some stairs somewhere?
I really think it is.
We have a gym in our complex but it doesn’t open till 6am and that’s too late in the morning for me It used to be open 24 hours, wish it still was!
