Back to the normal routine

It felt good to get back to the normal routine today. While the boys played soccer, Darla and I walked the trail. Did 3 miles in under and hour. Even the sunshine made an appearance!

Finally, some trail time

My dear friends and I did 4.5 miles in 1:30 mins on the cedar river trail tonight. It was so nice to get back out there, I needed that. My soul sighed as my feet hit the pavement. Thanks, girls!

A little bit of slacking

No workout yesterday and no walk today, either. But, I did shovel dirt and push a wheelbarrel around for a good chunk of the day. I think that counts as exercise in my book.

No walk tonight

I am choosing to forgo a walk this evening.....my body is already sore and aching from a day of yard work. We shoveled, raked, removed grass clumps and rocks, and lifted wood for about 7 hours. Do you think that counts for enough exercise today? My body is saying, Yes!

Long haul on the Cedar River trail

Jenn and I continue to work the long miles on the weekends, getting us ready for our next 1/2 marathon in a few weeks. It's my intention to beat my time from last year. To do that, I need to run more than I do now. Today, we tried a new training method, run 1 minute, walk 2. At first, I didn't enjoy it, but I quickly got into the rhythm of it and actually enjoyed it! It definitely challenged us both and I loved that too! So, we did 10 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Yay us!

Cedar River trail

I'm a day late in posting this, but I did hit the trail yesterday for a nice walk with a good friend.  We did about 3 1/2 miles in 58 mins.  I love my trail time with my friends.  It's good for the whole of me!

Park walk

I so wasn't into it today, but made myself go!  Darla and I did almost 2 miles in about 35 mins at the park today.  Bleh.  Oh well, tomorrow's a new day.  I get to hit the trail without kids and I can't wait.
