It's been a crazy few days - starting with having family in town for my little guy's 3rd birthday and then continuing to some very busy days at work and in the evenings after work. It's given me very little time to blog.
However, I HAVE put aside the time to RUN! Once again, I must say - I'm baaaack!
On Saturday morning, I got a 9 miler in before making it to synagogue. On Monday morning I got an easy 3 miler, on Wednesday morning a 5 mile tempo run and then this morning another 3 miles. I'm back to my 20 miles a week schedule - and that will increase to about 25 miles a week just before Thanksgiving. Just in time for the Turkey Chase 10K (and more eating...)
Oh...I did mention eating. Through all the festivities - starting with my Birthday in early August, Anniversary two weeks later, all of the Jewish Holidays in September and October and finally with my son's birthday and Halloween - I have put on some pounds. And there is still tons of candy in my house. It's ironic - the kids had pretty much forgotten about the candy, yet I was still reaching for it throughout the day. Tuesday night - while watching election coverage - I declared that I had eaten my last piece of Halloween candy. So far, so good (OK, I've lasted a full day and a half!). I hope that this - and getting back to running - will help me melt those pounds off without having to go back to counting calories.
I have also kept to the Push Ups. I'm in Week 3 now, however, my exhaustion test after Week 2 did not go so well - I was only able to do 16 consecutive push ups. So I'm doing column 1 for Weeks 3 and 4. Today I did set #2 - 10, 12, 8, 8 and 14 push ups. 52 push ups all together.
So you see, although I had not been blogging, I still have been running and doing my push ups.
