On and Off - Blogging

So, I have in fact continued working out.  Still not as much as in the winter and spring, and not as much as I’d like to, but perhaps 2-3 runs a week and some strength training.  Also had a cycle or two in the somewhere.  I am really busy, and not quite into a regular schedule.  However, I just don’t have time to blog my workouts like I used to.  I like to put in every item… the run, the cardio, the strength, the stretching… but it takes so long for each entry!  I do wonder if I took the time to log everything, if it would help me be more consistent like I used to be, but at the same time perhaps it will be fine to leave out all the logging for now and get back to it maybe for the fall.  Once I find my groove in this new schedule, I’d like to set a new race goal… hopefully another 10K but this time in nice chilly weather!

‘Till then, I apologize if this blog is dormant.  I just don’t feel like only logging here and there, especially because I do keep track of the running and cycling at bimactive.com.  If you’d like to see what’s occupying me in the meantime, check out my regularly updated art blog.

P.S. I do peek in on sweat365 quite regularly to see what you all are up to!  Hi there!

Finally, Another Run!

Today is the first day I didn’t wake up feeling stuffy since catching the cold.  I fell asleep early last night, and woke up early, and the first thing I thought was, “Get up and go run!”  I hope I can start getting up early to run more often.  This week I have a lot to do, and it with highs in the 90’s it would really help to get the exercise in early.

I kept it to just 1.5 today because I think if I go for too long too soon, I will have an injury.  I’ve lost a lot of muscle after 2o days without consistent training from the NY trip and the cold.  Ready to get back to it, though.
