Hi there! Where have you been?
What? Me? Where have I been? Well, lets see, I've been working, quitting jobs, re-situating my life, entertaining guests from Florida, going to music concerts, riding bike, and running! Yep, running! I can kinda do it!
Last Saturday, I ran with a group of friends in a nearby 5-mile 'race'. I haven't run over 4 miles in a couple of years, so that was a feat to begin with - then, I challenged myself to try to get it done in less than an hour.
Ready for this? Drum roll, pleeeease . . .
59:04! Woot, woot! I did it! Less than an hour! A couple of accomplishments throughout the run include 1) not stopping to walk until around 18minutes into the race, 2) keeping a close eye on the friends who were running just ahead of me and sticking with them, 3) when a song came on the Ipod that was really motivating, I kept replaying (and replaying) to keep my body movin'!
Loved having a great group of strong, kind women to be active and outdoors with! Thank you, ladies! (And friend's fiance's brother!)

| 5-Mile Run (about to commence!) |
A few of us went for a 12-mile "easy" bikeride on Tuesday. Planned to do a 3-mile run this morning but this lady was super-duper tired and opted to gain some more rest. (Not sure it did any good!) I've been tracking runs and bike rides on www.mapmyrun.com and www.mapmyride.com which, as long as my phone is receiving a decent GPS signal, gives distance and pace (as well as the map)! Cool!
