It's really time for me to get into shape again. It's amazing how fast time flies, especially when there are tons of pizza coupons on the fridge. My goal for this week is to hit the treadmill once and the road once this week. Let's see if I can stick to it.

In case you didn't know, I finished all 3 prelim races last year and finished the mini-marathon. In fact, I just hung my medal on the wall today (a scant 11 months after the race - ha!)

 

There have been questions about whether or not I'm doing the mini in April again this year, and the answer is "no". I've got certifications to take of, working on a book, plus all the other things on my schedule. And, let's be honest. I'm lazy. I haven't even done my taxes yet.

 

So, for blog entertainment of the SBS variety, head over to the main blog site at http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com

 

And I will get on the running kick again before summer - I promise! :-)

I fell off the wagon for a while (7 weeks to be more precise).  But I was surprised that I could manage 6.8K after so much time off.  What was NOT surprising was my heart rate.  It was WAY up there and that's really where the true measure of health comes in.  Anyway, I've got a lot of lost ground to make up, and I need to be careful not to push too hard - don't want any injuries.

Special 'Thanks' to Susanne for the much-needed kick in the pants.

Hotel gym. 4.1 miles on treadmill.

Hotel gym.  3.6 miles on the treadmill.  Pretty different running in a new location.  And I've got to say that it's much more fun to run to a movie instead of the Weather Channel here :-)
