Didn't feel like it today...

but I put my runners on and did it anyways. Tonight was week two of hill training. We ran four hot hills. Next week we run five hot hills, and continue up to nine hills. Today my nose has been rather stuffy, and I am feeling really worn out and tired. But now that my run and hill training is complete. I have energy.

I know running gives me energy! Thank you Cliff for making me go tonight. I was *this close* to not going out. No excuses.

So far, I feel good as I can. I know it is going to be a challenge to lose the last 10 pounds. Especially when I tell friends or family that I have only 10 more pounds to lose, and they ask me 'from where?'

Believe me, there are 10 or so more pounds on me. I felt every extra pound on my hill training, nearing the crest of the hill.

Vitamins and Plans

I went to the health food store today, and I purchased fish oils for the kids, and fish oil for myself (nursing mom) and vitamin d pills. I want to take good care of myself. So, I splurged on those items.

I also enquired about a women's kickboxing program (ongoing) and will hopefully try a class if the vascular surgeon says I am good to go. I think it will be good stress relief, and the instructor said it would get rid of my 'jigglies' as I call them. If, I am able to participate I will start in January 2008. If I cannot, then I start my brisk walking program.

I am really looking forward to changing my life!
