food poisoning sucks!

got food poisoning Thursday @ dinner... yuck! Just now getting back to normal.
Hopefully, I can get back on track with my running in time for my 5k on the 7th.
I miss running but haven't had nearly enough energy to get out there.

3 weeks until my first 5k

... not much time left to get ready... the next two weeks i need to really commit myself to run/walk workouts. The last week before the race I will have 2 good workouts and one easy one on Thursday. I am sure I can finish using the run/walk method -- at least I can have a base to start with as I measure improvement with future races. Last October I walked 5k in the 'Race for a Cure' so I expect to do much better time with a run/walk. beed to add in some strength workouts to reach my overall fitness goals.

Roller blades are hard!

They're fun -- but definitely a new way of balancing. I haven't fallen too often but when I do -- it's on my backside. OUCH! Yesterday afternoon I went roller-blading (is this a word?) for the 2nd time in my life -- only fell once and it was a doozy -- my A#@ screamed at me. I did manage to get up at last and limp back to the car.

This morning my ride to work wasn't too bad except when I had to stand up and keep pedalling... that hurt. I'm hoping by Wednesday when I have my long ride my glutes will be somewhat recovered or it could be a painful long ride. I will hope for the best....

Daylight savings time is nice in the afternoon but sux in the morning -- stayed dark all the way in today. yuck! I like getting to the bay as the sun comes up and welcoming the new day feeling ready to rock. Eventually the sun will catch up to me again and my morning rides will be fun again.

Another Run/Walk Day

Today is the first day of March! Hard to get up this morning -- but I did manage to make it to my Run/walk @ the gym. Did not get my bike time yesterday :-[ I have got to make sure I get my Wednesday morning rides! I will commute tomorrow so some miles there, thank goodness. The morning run went pretty well, I am picking up the pace a bit stretching out the distance btwn walk periods. Sweating pretty good when I headed into my cool down. Great way to start the day!!!
