A little off track but still running

Tis the Season...so I am not running my regular schedule, it is toooooo easy to get off of it, but I am still getting in some sort of run. I do find that even through I am off schedule I do not want to miss a day. Saturday, I went for a run/walk with Joe, we would walk together and then I would run ahead, turn around and run back and meet him. I was able to get in 3 miles that way. Monday, I was scheduled for a long run but is rained ALL day...cold and rain is not for me around the holidays. I ended up running on the treadmill for 2 miles.

Today I did get out and run...it was a gorgeous 41 degree day, so running was perfect weather. I was originally going to go about 3 miles but ended up going a little over 5. I am glad I pushed it today, the only problem is that I didn't have water with me.

I went to Cherry Tree and instead of going straight for the 5 mile loop I turned and went along Rt. 8. I didn't realize that there were sidewalks all the way to the Estates subdivision. I ran through that area where the tornado hit hard. It looked like about 1/3 of the homes are re-built and have families living in them. I didn't go on the side streets of the area so not really certain.

I really need to get on a long run soon. If I get back on my Princess training schedule it looks like this Saturday I should do 9.5. I will need to find someone to run with since Kelly will be out of town. I may have to put something out on one of my FB groups.

My weight is down a little more and my clothes are fitting much better! Happy with the results, that really does help keep me motivated too!
