Just checking in... I haven't done great on my 10k steps per day so far this month. It's been crazy around here, and I ended up taking a trip to my parents' house over the weekend (they live about 6 hours away). Grandma is in the hospital and not doing well. My sister had a baby and he had to be airlifted to the children's hospital, so i ended up watching her young daughter.

I did get in a 6.13 mile run on Saturday. It was very hilly and humid, and I had to walk a couple of times, but I finished it. It took me about 1h 10m total. A little slower than I'd like, but I'll take it. Ended up feeling sick/vomiting for an hour or so afterward. Guess I pushed a little too hard.

I may end up heading back to my parents' house to help with the toddler more later this week, so who knows how the rest of the month will progress. Trying to get more running in, which should help with hitting my step goal.

Yoga today. Walked 8 miles this weekend!

Feeling quite happy with my activity levels. It's only 9am Tuesday here so not many steps yet.







(11.17km is 6.94 miles)

I hit my 10k step goal yesterday! Hooray! Trying for it again today--we'll see how it goes. It's raining outside, so I may end up on the treadmill tonight. Doing a Power Hour class today over lunch, but that doesn't earn many steps!

Well, Power Hour was cancelled and the rain stopped, so I ran 3 miles on the bridges near my building (total elevation gain was only 150ft, as measured by my fitbit. Thinking that's probably quite a bit low) and then did a 30 minute HIIT class. Already up to 9116 steps, so I'll be making my goal today for sure!

Yoga this morning and Yoga class yesterday. Walked 2 miles
