my knees were killing me

Well - the walk last night was good. It was pretty hot, but nice once we were in the shady part. However, I think that the long walk is not good the day before a run. Maybe next time I'll switch running days as my knees were killing me this morning. So I only ran 5.5 kms and then I walked 2.5 kms (well...hobbled is more accurate). Definitely won't be doing that again! Today it was pretty cool out this morning. You can tell we're heading into fall - I had already gotten about 3 kms when I could see the sun finally getting higher than the horizon! I could see my breath the whole way this time. I had to keep my jacket on for most of it (which sucks cause I don't like running with it on, usually I take it off after my warm-up walk). I think I'll wear a long sleeved shirt instead next time.

Another quiet night!

I read and watched Glenn build a frame around the firepit area. We went to bed just before 9pm - I think the heat is wearing me out! So I slept in this am, but that's okay cause we're going for our long walk tonight. Should be hot - but good.

The Joy Luck Club

It was a little chilly on my run this am; I could see my breath for the first couple kms. Once the sun was a little higher it warmed up pretty quick (and then I was too hot - lol!) I only did 10kms today - one of my knees is acting up again.

I finished reading The Joy Luck Club last night, so I'm ahead for the monthly read for Trading Pages . It was good - I look forward to discussing it. It was a pretty quiet night, I sat on the swing on the sundeck and read while Glenn watched baseball. I went to bed early (around 9pm) because I knew that I wasn't going to want to get up at 5am otherwise!

hot weekend

Whew - it was a hot weekend! Not that I'm complaining - I'll take sunny of snowy anyday! We moved the hottub and shovelled a bit of dirt. We've decided to go ahead with the sundeck expansion (so it will run the entire length of the house). So that should be good - more room to lounge around - lol!

I dragged my butt out of bed this am and went to the gym. I did not want to get up - but once I was at the gym I felt good. It's not the working out that's hard - it's the getting up!! LOL!

"fat" days

Did you ever wonder why we have "fat" days? I mean - take today for example. I'm having a "fat" day (I just feel like I'm fat today - bloated, overweight). Yet, I'm wearing my new size 8 pants (from Old Navy) and I tried on (and bought) a pair of size 9/10 pants at the store today. So obviously I haven't gained back weight. My shirt's not tight, nothing's really different, yet I feel like crap. Is this a woman thing? I know that this sometimes happens during my period (that yucky bloated feeling) so maybe this is related to yesterday's ordeal. But I always thought that it was hormonal more than anything. Who knows? Couldn't someone invent some sort of pill to deal with "fat" days? LOL!
