Manic Monday

Sorry for the short absence! This past week got a bit hectic.


  • I ran twice before work last week. Ya'll, this is a big accomplishment for me. I love me some sleep and the fact that I willingly wake up a full hour before i have to....well, it's big.
  • Starting tomorrow, I plan to run three times in the morning before work. Cross your fingers.
  • Saturday I had an 8 miler on the schedule. Nothing good nor bad to report. I was feeling really tired and decided to just make this a slow/easy long run. I'll do 8 again this Saturday and plan to push myself more.
And, here's this week's weather report - we are still in the center of the sun. It should cool down around, oh, October. :P

Great job on getting up early! I understand when you say it's BIG! I've done the early workout (for the first time in a LONG time) a few times in the past few weeks and you feel so proud and accomplished (I do anyway hehe). Keep up the good work! :)

Oh My HEATNESS!!! Ummmmm yeah.....running in the early morning is the only way to survive in that kind of weather. Plus, I just love it because it's done and over with. You feel accomplished before you start your busy work day!!

One morning I worked out at 5am and then went back to bed. When I woke up again, I thought about what I was going to do to get my workout in. Then I remembered I ALREADY DID IT!! That was the greatest feeling ever....hahahaha!!!

Good luck waking up early this week. You can DO IT!!!

Awesome! I think I'm going to attempt to try to run tomorrow morning. I agree, it's a big deal....and a huge accomplishment! Good job girl!

Way to go on the 8 miler!! I had one on my schedule, and it did not happen!! I just can't bring myself to run on the treadmill that long, and with this heat, I am NOT going outside.

Hope it does cool off by October!!! That's when I'm getting married!!!

I sooo tried to get out of bed this morning and well, my new incredibly comfy mattress from the Gods sucked me in and wouldn't let me leave. Tomorrow though!!

BTW, we're about ready to break the record for number of days over 100 in a year...currently 48 and the record is 50. We have 3 days over 100 foretasted this week, oh ya we got it!

8 miles! Nice! Long and slow is how I take long runs too, and it's supposedly how you are supposed to do it! Good for you!
