Wednesday's Why?????

Okay this one is personal but still a question.

Why is the Christmas Tree still up?

Did I mention that I hate streaks? Thanks Pat for getting me started.

That's sarcasm!

...and yes Marlene, the streak is alive.

Crunch Time

No, I'm not talking about sit ups. I've been swamped at work today and I have a TNT event to go to this evening.

Where am I going to find the time to run?

Is the streak in jeopardy?

I'm hoping to get in a few laps around my cubicle desk before I leave.

I think 5,434 laps equals a mile..............

I'm Running, I think..........

It was a brutal EXTREME class today and I'm still feeling it. We had four rounds of the following:

Thrusters - 20 reps
Walking lunges w/Weights (length of basketball court)
Pushups with dumbbells - 30
Walking lunges w/Weights (length of basketball court)
Renegade Rows - 20 reps

My shoulders and upper body hurts........

So once I got home I knew the sun was shining and I had at least 1/2 hour of daylight left.

So the streak continues and I hate it! Just kidding but I know one day something is going to happened, but until that day comes, I'll run.

Still Going Strong

That's right the streak is still alive. Can you believe it four consecutive days of running for this old geezer?

I actually had to run in freezing rain on Sunday to keep the streak going. It was so bad that I had to walk out of our sub-division because the road was ice covered.

This week begins with an ton of Team in Training events. I have an alumni event and the informational meetings start also.

Luckily, I have my resolution word 'organize' to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Can you believe that the holidays are over and I have to work and entire five days?

Someone mentioned that our next official day off is Memorial Day! That's like a thousand weeks from now.....

Oh Happy Day

You would have thought I asked them to run up this! Just kidding, we had a great run this morning that included a few hills and quite a bit of small ups and downs.

We even had the park police chastise a few of the team. I told them to always run in different directions if the police stopped them.

You would have thought we were gang members.....

One participant commented on running 8 miles on flat land as opposed to what we did today. It almost brought a tear to my eye...

This team is going to be sooooooooooooooo ready for their events, even if it kills them (jk)...

Of course I got in a few miles with them to keep my streak for 2009 alive. This is what I hate about running streaks, they make you run.....

We're scheduled to get freezing rain tonight, stay tuned...........

The Number Two

That's right, I've run every day this year! I got off my butt yesterday and braved the elements and then the sun made an appearance today, which meant I had to get in some miles again.

Kara at Between the Miles mentioned a one word resolution and I'm going to try it. My one word resolution for 2009 is 'organize'. I'm hoping that this carries over to every aspect of my life for 2009.

Tomorrow, it's back to TNT training and I'm sure everyone on the team will be thrilled to see what I have planned for them, can you say hills?

Okay, I'm going into the office on my vacation to get a little better 'organized' before the start of next week.

Reasons not to Run

Day one of 2009 and I'm sittitng around watching Nickelodeon instead of running. It's cold and the ground is covered with snow, but I'm headed out.......
