Driven inside

Rain and blustery winds, joined with pretty cold temps has driven me inside for workouts this week!  But, I won't be derailed!!!  I did another session on the stepper tonight...60+ mins of total time and 3800 steps.  Yeah, baby!  I liked wearing my size 16 pants today.  They are still snug, but wearable.  Just the motivation to keep at it. 

Steppin up

Lots of anger this afternoon....needed to sweat.  Did 60 mins total time on the stepper and over 3000 steps.  The lioness is beat and hopefully sleep will come quickly and stay deep.

3 miles with Darla

Darla and I did three miles this morning.  I needed to get out and move, so I pushed the stroller.  She was somewhat willing, the warm stroller blanket that I found works well and keeps her warm enough.  We made it to the park and back, with a few laps for me in about 45 mins.  I didn't do any jogging, but after those stair steps, my quads were in need of a break.  :) 

Steppin out!

In an effort to 'cross train' and keep burning the fat, I borrowed Jenn's stair stepper and just did over 2000 steps in 40 mins.  I had to keep stopping to stretch but it still felt good to do it right here at home.

Amazing, Magical Morning

Jenn and I did almost 13 miles this morning in the very, VERY cold!  I know it was down under 30 as I scraped the ice off the car windows and hurried down the hill.  What was magical, was all the leaves falling!  It was almost like a snow storm, but with leaves instead.  It was beautiful.  We kicked up piles of leaves, like kids, as we jogged along the trail and listened to the quiet air.  I even witnessed bits of frost falling....so neat. 

Trail time

All this Halloween candy is driving me CRAZY!!!  I HAD to get out on the trail today, to at least balance all the chocolate I've been getting into.  So, I took Darla down the street in the stroller and did a few laps around the park before I let her get out to play.  My cardio tracker says I did 5 miles...I'm not so sure it's accurate, probably more like 4.  But we were at it for an hour today, and some of that I did jog.  It was (as always) very good for my soul. 

Almost three miles

Got in almost three miles on the trail tonight in 33 minutes.  I jogged a 1/4 mile, rest 1/8 of a mile.  It was COLD, but beautiful and the crescent moon cheered me on.
