@R_Queenie - so good to see you. : -)
@Laughter_Girl - I think we all need a day of nothing but eating occasionally
@jenthibert -let's hear it for a green vacation. Hip Hip Hooray!
Forget this running stuff. It was back to the weights for me today.
Squat is still at 95, but rows were up to 75 and bench press was 80. I have abandoned the Livefit because 6 days a week lifting is not going to happen during the school year. Livefit will have to wait until next May and be done while the kiddies are out of school and extracurricular activities. Denni and I went back to basics with a 5x5 program that incorporates two accessory muscle groups each workout with a rest day between each. Goal is still to squat and deadlift 100lbs by the end of the month. Not tomorrow, because Scouts, but I plan to run a couple of days a week to train for the 5k in October. 0 -

I had a good day today. I completed another 10 mile run, and this one was much better than my first one. Other than the leg cramp that occurred immediately following the run, I have no complaints.
Well, I'm off to put some Bengay on my leg.

I've been seriously MIA, but had a fab camping trip with my family - 8 mth grandson is going to be a natural!
The shame is I got an amazing streak of 17 in July - too bad I missed the last week of logging it here!!
August target 25, which I might make with the skin of my teeth.

However, I think this was my first red in a LONG time that did not include ice cream.

@R_Queenie Ice cream has been my downfall many, many times. Tonight I actually stood in the freezer section of the store longingly staring at the Ben & Jerry's!!
@Laughter_Girl ahhhhh, nothing like the sweet smell of Ben-gay, I mean running success!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins. .. I'm missing weights too. No leg days with the long runs. Looking forward to winters in the gym!0 -

8/21 Green worked on the floor again from 7:30am - 10:00pm. I was not as tired as I was last weekend. Must be getting use to these long hours
8/22 Green today we had a lighter day with the house. We did hung two closet doors. I had the fun job of empting the closets and then moving everything back once my hubby was done with doors.
8/23 Green (even with the long nap I took)

@k80flec - hi, there! I am glad you have enjoyed your vacation and family time.
@R_Queenie - good job avoiding the ice cream
@bbinoa - I make myself run for these charities, although there may be a bit of attempting to beat my 15 year old this time...

Remember my story from a few weeks back with the woman doing the odd tap dancing, baton twirling dancing routine at the gym that no one else noticed but me? She was back again tonight with a whole new routine!! Even odder it was at 5:30 so major busy gym time. Of course I just happened to be using the same equipment that put me right next to her again! Luckily, I wasn't the only one this time who seemed puzzled and confused. Whew! In case you're wondering, today's routine features hair flipping and winking at the mirror with some hip shakes, all performed barefoot. It was at least a half hour long. I'm planning to recreate it tomorrow for my friends at work.

Started jury duty today... very boring except that they summoned a police officer from the town my dad lives in. (we are in the same county, about 35 miles from my house to dad's) I think the officer must know my parents or one of my brothers because he kept looking at me like he should know me but didn't know why. I wanted to get up, walk across the courtroom and say, "Virginia Phipps was my mom, does that help?" I look so much like Mama that her high school classmates still stop me random places and ask if she's my mother. (the latest was at a funeral home, which was a little weird)0 -

Yesterday was run day and today was strength training. It was a light one today, but I logged every one of those 11 minutes. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Every bit counts, right?
@bbinoa I cracked up reading about the baton lady again. I'm glad she's changing up her routine. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Most importantly, others actually noticed her foolishness. It proves you're not losing it just yet.
@MelissaP Jury duty is always interesting. I haven't been summoned since serving 20 years ago though. Maybe that officer actually thinks your HOT, which is why he is staring at you? Seriously, that's pretty cool that you look so much like your mom that people actually stop you on the street. It always amazes me that someone can look so much like their parents or siblings for that matter.
@kirbygirl41 Congrats in advance on meeting your goal!
@jenthibert Most of the time I'm slogging too. In all honest, most fast walkers could easily pass me by. Ha, ha, ha. Oh well. Everyone is not meant to be fast, right?0 -

Just a slow run today. I'm just trying to get my body ready for this half marathon. My goal is to be ready for it by the end of Sept. On a happy note, my hubby brought me a car today so he's on my good list right now.
@jenthibert Congrats on surpassing your goal!!! Keep that streak going.
@bbinoa You can be the original slogger, but know that I'm right behind you...literally. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

@Laughter_Girl - no, it was definitely the 'where do I know you from' look.
@bbinoa - it was awful right after she died, I couldn't brush my teeth without crying. Now it's good, except it is hard on my dad. I sound like her too. One of my brothers called me, said whatever he had to say, then said, I'm glad I called, sometimes I still need to hear Mama's voice.
@jenthibert - Gooooooaaaal!!!!!! way to go!
Odds are that I won't have to actually sit on a jury. The last time I was called I knew the arresting officer. Judge Beck: Do you know him, or do you know who he is? Me: He goes to my church; his wife is my doctor; he's a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I know him." Judge Beck: Yes, you do. For some reason, the defense attorney didn't want me on the jury... (Judge Beck is friends with my dad and came to my mother's funeral. I am in Judge Goodwin's court this time. He knows one of my brothers from high school. ) Besides the Steelers fan, there are three other police officers and ten attorneys in my church, and numerous others I know from sports and scouting and a federal judge was my Sunday School teacher before I started teaching in the preschool department. Oh, and my dad was a deputy sheriff and I used to work with the DA's wife.0 -
