5/13 Friday - Went on a long walk/run today... note to self.  Wear sunscreen, even after 2:30 pm... got a touch of color, but not too bad, phew!  traveled 5.11 miles! Legit jogged 2 miles, though there was some extra jogging, quick walking, sprinting, resting, water grabbing...felt good, lungs really feel like the weakness, still fighting off this cough that seems related to allergies, but it is difficult to make it die when i keep coughing! grrr...  but it was a beautiful day, and Mully was such a good boy to run with!

5/11 Wednesday - I have no explanation for this lapse in journaling.  I think I ran a mile somewhere in there, but clearly, I didn't record it.  So, today I was on the elliptical machine for 50 minutes, with 30 minutes at 8 difficulty.  I traveled 4 miles, and burned 500 calories according to the machine.  Yay.  I am at my lowest weight since 2010, so I must be eating better.  Hoping to keep that up and keep up the exercising.

3/25 Friday - Really thinking this weekend should involve three exercising days.  No reason it can't.  Jogged outside today, but miscalculated my distance, so I only ran 1.88 miles, in 23-24 minutes... which is under 13 minutes per mile... I felt pretty winded by the end...the way back is a bit of an incline I suspect.  But my legs felt good.  And I caught my breath quicker than usual.  Go team Laura!

3/20 Sunday - Laundry day...at the gym from 2:10 pm to 4:00pm...but I only kept track of roughly 70 minutes of ellipticalling... so it is a mystery what I was doing the other 40 minutes... Some of it may have been stretching/warming up... doing the laundry part, I don't know...just know I was tired after all of it.

SPRING is here!

3/18 Friday - Oh my! What a busy week it has been! So my exercise schedule took a hit... but I'm back at it and I ran outside for 2 miles and did some warming up and cooling down too... The second mile took roughly 13 minutes, but I had to stop covering ground at one particularly long stop light... so my pacing is pretty much the same as I do inside on the treadmill!  Note to self, use vaseline before run to avoid chafing!

3/10 Thursday - Decided to mix it up and save time by exercising on the way to my appointment.  I warmed up walking for 10 minutes-ish and then started jogging and jogged roughly 1.4 miles in about 20 minutes?  Then I was at my appointment and still felt pretty good, so I thought I could just jog back... I jogged about 1.1 miles (according to MapMyRUN) and walked the rest of the way home... so in total I jogged about 2.5 miles.  But I really should start using my inhaler again...boo cold air on lungs...
