@Laughter_Girl , I'm a loner as well on my runs/walks. It's very meditative to me- I just get in that zone and it's so soothing! I generally don't listen to music either Anyways, I don't like pushy people! Sounds like she wants to run with you to prove to herself she's faster or something. I love Melissa's response! That's fabulous. I'd say "running is my time, and I do it alone, for me." Offer to do something else like Jen suggested hike, gym, charity walk etc. Pushing yourself too fast is a great recipe for injury, so you can also tell her that. Let us know how it works out.

My foot is doing fine! Yippee!! I however had this huge freak out over the marathon. It's two weeks away (as of yesterday) and I finally admitted I'm scared- really scared! I was almost in tears telling my husband this. After I admitted all the ridiculous things I'm afraid of (taking too long, getting hurt, getting lost, not finishing and having people laugh... I know, that one's really dumb), I did feel better. But hey, it's going to take me longer to do this than it did to have my kids AND last I checked there were no pre-race epidurals handed out. I guess a few dozen freak outs are normal? Doing better today and getting ready to take a walk.0 -

10.26 & 10.27
Green: Yes & No (Very much so)
Streak: 0/10 (Can't wait until this month is over so I can eliminate this challenge.)
Goal: 23/25
Exercise: It was another busy day that didn't provide time for exercise. I'll have to make up for it the rest of the week.
Thanks to those that offered great advice regarding my running stalker. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I'm sure to get rid of her now.
Confession: I ate a lot of donuts today. My husband was being nice by going to the cider mill to buy me a bunch of donuts because I casually mentioned a donut sounded good this morning. Bless his heart. What in the world would make him think I wanted OR needed a dozen donuts?!?!?!?!?! Poor Kristal. I guess it's the thought that counts. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.0 -

Total 17/21... I might make this after all!
Mmmmmm..... donuts @Laughter_Girl ! I'm doing my Homer Simpson impression for you! What's a few (12) donuts? hehe. Enjoy!
POURING rain today. Yuck. I don't even want to think what I'd do if someone gave me a dozen donuts today! It would involve stretchy pants for sure though.

Green, yes 19/25 streak 4 ( I think)
Exercise, yes 6/15 - barre class for the first time in 7 weeks. The pain is real, but not as bad as I thought it would be.
@Laughter_Girl if they were gf, I'd totally scarf down a dozen Apple Cider donuts. LOL. Which makes me wonder if I could make my own, but I would have to freeze them if it worked. Hmmm...

Tomorrow is my towns trick or treat night. We just bought about 15 lbs of candy. Red alert!!!
I also quit my gym tonight.... living on the wild side! Actually decided to use my works on site fitness center instead. It's free, and I seem to be doing better getting my workouts in at lunchtime. I'm not good at getting out at night when it's dark and cold. Do what you gotta do, right? I'm thinking post marathon I want to try to keep up the weekend runs and train for an early spring half.0 -
@bbinoa, my office has a free facility too. I have a feeling I'll be using it this winter. I'll probably go after work though. I only get a 30 minute lunch and I'm usually scarfing something down as I fly out the door to another site.
I like your goal for spring!0 -
10.28
Green: Yes
Streak: 1/10
Goal: 24/25
Exercise: I did a circuit training today. It was just what I needed.
@bbinoa Using a free fitness center beats paying for a gym membership every time in my book. Take full advantage of it. I'm thinking I'll do an early spring half too. I've got to keep the momentum going.
@jenthibert The donuts were delicious, but I certainly didn't need them. I've got to start keeping my cravings to myself.
Also, your exercise for this month was quite impressive. I think I'll set an exercise goal for myself next month.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I'm so glad you were able to survive the barre class. You're pushing through the pain! I don't even want to learn how to make donuts. That would be REAL bad. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.0 -

No exercise any of those days. 6/15
@Laughter_Girl there are 4 kids at my house...donuts don't really last long enough to be dangerous.
I wish my work had a gym I could use at lunch, but I like the classes at the Y and my kids use the pool so I will just keep going there.

Just going to call today red. Company coming, appetizers and takeout with wine while passing out candy. Not sure what's going on, maybe a change due to no long walks, but I've gained a few pounds that need to come back off so I'll be adjusting my calories downward a little next month...0
