Archive for April, 2009

Over the last 2 years, my forties are creeping up on me and I have gained 5-6 pounds.  Since January, I have ramped up my workouts and really tried to watch what I eat and gave up wine altogether.  But so far, I haven’t lost anything:(.  I swam really hard and lifted this morning and am now taking the dog for a swift, short walk in hopes that moving around more will make a difference!!

Went to bed early to make sure I was awake and ready to run by 7:30am.  Met up with my friend and off we went.  Time seems to fly when I run with her and before I know it, we’ve run 6 1/2 miles!  Feels great afterwards.
