I started running hill on Tuesday. I hate to say this, but boy did it feel GOOD!!! I really need to run on Tuesday. Just to get rid of all the excess baggage that I had on my shoulders. I was in the zone on Tuesday.
I did our regular hill run near the Y. Each lap is .9 miles. I did three. Making the mileage 2.7 miles. Not once did I want to stop. I felt so good that I speed up the last 1/2 lap. I had to end at three because I wanted to change before WW. I did not want to add any extra weight onto the scale. I also did not time myself because I could not find my watch before I went out to run. But all and all, it was a great run!!!
Tonight I ran 3.5 miles in 37:something minutes. At the end I put the speed up to 6mph and was just watching the mileage to hit 3.5 so I could slow down. That is still alot better that what I could do when I was 20lbs heaver!!!
I just have to keep up with it. Saturday will probably be another treadmill run, but at the Y I can up the incline alot more that what I can do at home. Depending on how many people, I'm trying for 3.5 miles and do 1 mile at a very high incline!!
I'll tell you how I make out!!

I'm back again
Now that Christmas, Year end at Work, and our wonderful trip to WDW is done. I can finally sit down and write on the blog. At least for a little while.
Tonight I have a meeting at School, so I decided to write in the blog instead of staying at work!!!
This is a group that meets to try to make the school a better place. At least it is a good thought, this is only the 2nd meeting and it includes, students, teachers, parent/teacher club members, and members of the community. We help the district in making decisions on what they should do to make school a place for the kids to learn. We can only try and it is only once a month.
On the running front, I have been sick with a cold since WDW and I have only run a couple of times. I have signed up for Tipp Hill and starting tomorrow I'm going to run outside at the Y. I got my new sneakers and I feel the need to start saying "HILLS ARE MY FRIENDS" T is going to run it also, so this gives me more of an incentive to start practing!!
On WW, I think that I am doing great!! I have lost a total of 23 lbs and have lost 10% of my weight. Now my next goal is to get under 200 lbs. Yes, I am over 200 lbs and I run!! At least now I can run faster with the weight loss.
I do notice that I am going faster on the treadmill because of the loss. So that is a real plus.
I promise to write more later, but I do have to go to the meeting!!
On Dad, he is doing good. He has started his treatments before he starts radition. He did get Shingles before I went on vaction, but he stuck it out like a trooper.
I hope all is well and will promise to be better at this!!!
