So, just back from my big vacation for the year. A three-day trip with Heather and Nicole to Wallace Idaho. Was to be two days of biking - so some good exercise. Ended up being one afternoon of mostly coasting downhill - lol! Beautiful coasting - amazing sights along the Route of the Hiawatha. Went through some very cool (and one FREEZING COLD) tunnels - including the almost 2-miler that was a bit creepy.
Got home late last night and got on the scale this morning. Three days of bad eating, beer drinking, and almost no exercise sure catches up with you quickly! Holy crumb! Wish I could LOSE that much weight that quickly...
So, fun-time is over. Work-time is back. Ran this morning - 5k and 10 sprints. Leg workout at the gym and then a nice long walk planned with Colleen for tonight. Gym (and a walk?) tomorrow and then Loop the Lake on Saturday... Time to getter done!

Where I'm At
Ok...after that last post I am going to avoid the use of the word "cute" for the rest of this post.
This is the end of the first week with both of my regular running/exercise buddies gone on vacation. I've heard from Colleen. Hoping Gerilee is having a great trip and is staying safe. I did my first 10k alone. It was uneventful and I was happy with my time. Then I had my first morning run alone. Came across a few deer but was a pretty good run anyway. Had a new partner join me for my other two runs this week. Was nice to have company but found myself backing off to her slower pace. Not horribly slow but frustrating enough that I'm hoping for another 10k alone tomorrow.
Managed to get out for a walk (6k) most days this week. Took Wednesday off. Thursday Lana and her friend Tammy joined me so it was a little bit slower. Friday Heather and I walked from work downtown for beer and dinner and then back. Does that count? I bought a running magazine along the way - that HAS TO count for something, right?? lol...
Today, did the 22k bike ride from my house to the bridge and back. Waited too long in the day so it was quite windy... Wind has picked up a lot again now so I am glad to be done.
Now off to find some grub :)
