Dawn and I ran on our favorite trail today - the one we frequented a lot this summer as we were preparing for our half marathon.  Boy, it's sad how quickly cardio is lost when you don't keep it up.  3 miles on a rolling trail is much more difficult than 3 miles on a treadmill!  It was a good cardio workout ... and we were going slow!  It's been nice to have someone to run with again.

On the trail with Dawn.  She didn't want to go very far today because she's still feeling a little sick.  It's nice to have a running partner, but she can only fit me into her schedule once a week.  Bummer.

1.5 miles with Mike and Kathie (his sister) in Phoenix.  This was the first time Kathie had gone a mile without stopping!!  Woohoo!!!!  We walked for a little bit and then finished  running.

Then, Kathie called it quits, and Mike and I ran another 1.5 miles.  It's so nice to run with my sweet husband.  :)

Yoga with Lybi at her gym.  I've actually never gone to a yoga class before; I've only used videos or had a friend from church help me.  It was quite fun, and of course, challenging at times.  I didn't think I did too bad until my abs were sore the next day - and my upper back.  Haha!

On the trail with Dawn.  She bought a funny little device called a Body Bug which is a super accurate calorie counter.  She has to enter what she eats, but it calculates how much she expends throughout the day.  Pretty cool, but I don't think I'd ever want to know that much information!  I like to just live!  :)

I've been sick most of this week with the flu.  I probably pushed it a little early going out this morning, but I had a running partner, so ... heck!  We took a more difficult trail but kept it slow.  It was nice to be out, but I went to an eye appt right after our run and when the doctor asked me which lens looked more clear, I seriously wanted to say, "Who cares; I just want to sleep right here. Right now."  Haha.  I was so grateful for a nap later in the day!
