This week has been one long tiring week. The two day training seminar at my church was wonderful. It was also long and physically draining. Wednesday it took my over an hour to go through all my emails. Then I got a huge stack of files. I still haven't fully made it through them all as I was busy with this week's property…

Shirley - Hope your knee feels better. Jenny - Now that sounds like an interesting workout! Finding a new place in the same area I live isn't easy. The average cost of a one bedroom is more then I can afford. What I can afford is in a different city (still part of the municipality where I live) but it's the worse areas to…

It's official. I need to move. The people I rent from are selling. Finding a new place isn't easy when I can't find something in my price range that it's in a good area. Sigh.

My race didn't get very well. It was nice. Very nice. As in it hit 30 when we were running. It was way to hot to run in. Not sure I have run in that type of heat before. My shoes are also worn out and it was killing my back. Instead of doing a new personal best, I had my worse run ever, but I did it and crossed the…

Jenny - I don't have a Fitbit. All the other girls do and are part of a challenge (as is one of the lawyers). I could have gotten a Garmin that counted steps, but I"m more interested in my pace, time and distance then anything else. Race day is tomorrow! It's giving a high of 23! WOW! I'm planning on wearing my one running…

I told myself I would regret and I did. I normally lay out my clothes and pack lunch the night before. Last night I was to tired to bother. I didn't manage to get myself up until 6:30 and I need to leave at 7. Grr. No breakfast and no lunch. I went to Tim Hortons for lunch as it's right where I get off the bus for work. On…

Hi Ladies! I feel bad that I keep forgetting to check in here. This past week I officially started my half marathon training! The first week was easy. There is a little more running this week, and Saturday is my next race. I'm aiming for a new personal best and hope I can do it! Right now I am tired and just want to go to…

Hi Ladies! Things have been crazy for me with my race last weekend and then finalizing everything for the Ladies Spring Tea at my church today. Well both are now over and I can breathe a sigh of relief. It all went so well!! My goal time for my 10.2 race was between 1:15 to 1:20 as I was slow. I did it in 1:11:49! I was…

I like doing Leslie Sansone. It's a great indoor walk. Much more intense then a regular walk. (She compares it to aerobics.) You can find her on YouTube. There is also Fitness Blender. You can select what areas you want to work out, what (if any) equipment you have, the level you want to do, and it gives you several…

It's a new week. I new week to try to stay on track all week. Last week got away from me. Thursday and Friday were so beautiful out!! I hated being stuck inside at work all day. Thursday when I went for my run, I wore a pair or capris and a short sleeved shirt! I felt so light! Friday when I got off from work I took a long…

Marla - I will be praying things settle down at the school. Jenny - Good for you! I've been thinking of trying protein drinks. I need more protein as a runner! Shirley - Good for you with the FitBit challenge!! Forgetfulness and procrastination caught up with me. Monday I was up to midnight and up at 4. Last night I was up…

Today turned into such a beautiful afternoon! After a nasty weather week, with getting more of that white stuff twice, it was wonderful. I even manged to fit in a run in between the morning church service and needing to leave for choir. It was about +10 when I went as I'm running in my short sleeved shirt and thinking I…

Shirley - The Jays are the best!!!The bottom of the 8th inning on Wednesday was spectacular! I was wishing for anything for a TV to be watching it! (I listen to it on the radio.) The Red Socks are proving a hard team for them to beat. They only 12 games into the year. Lots of time still left this year! They have come along…

Actually the cupcakes I made taste good still partially frozen. So I found my lost contact 24 hours later - in my eye. It finally doest feel irritated. Going to try wearing them again tomorrow. Been in a don't care slump lately. Need to get out if it! Listening to the Jays game. Let's go Jays! There winning right now. Hope…

Yesterday is hit a high of +10. It was beautifully sunny and a brilliant blue sky. Today is snowed. The ground is covered. The trees have a layer of snow on them. Sigh. The only good thing is that it is melting fast! I dilly dalleyed yesterday doing what I needed to do. Realized half way through the day one my Sunday…

That's it. Lawyers aren't allowed to go away. Things go haywire when they do!! Yesterday was nuts. I hope today is better! Rain and VERY windy here today. I'm glad I had my bookbag and JOY Club bag for tonight to anchor me down when I was going for the bus this morning! I had to log on to log breakfast (and later lunch) at…

Jenny - Hope your feeling better! Marla - Hope Caleb is doing better and isn't in a lot of pain. Shirley - Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Anniversary!! I haven't got out for a run the last three days. The temperatures dropped back below freezing. It's supposed to get back up above freezing and into low double digits by…

Jenny - Hope you don't catch anything from the kids your work with! The girl that I share an office with has had a rotten cold all week. I hope I don't catch it! Taking lots of Vitamin Cs! Marla - I'm sure you can find the right words to encourage them. :) I did it!!! 10K run this morning! I haven't gone for a 10k run…

Jenny - I look around at the kids at my church and at my nephews and wish they would stop growing as they are making me feel old! My youngest nephew is 4 now. Shirley - That sounds so nice! It's supposed to be above freezing for most of the week here. I'm looking forward to it! I got to see Reid! AND he let me hold him!!

HI Ladies I know I haven't been on here much lately. I've been telling myself to get on here and I don't! Well I finally am! I've been battling a cold the last few days. I'm finally feeling better. After the last two days of not being able to complete my diary as I didn't eat enough, today I did. (I think the pizza is the…

I got my tax refund. MY LINE OF CREDIT IS PAID IN FULL!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Next to go is my dentist bill. I need a little from my pay this week, but I can go there Saturday and pay them off as well. It will feel so good! I'm having a celebration, who cares about calories, dinner tonight. Dinner is on it's way to me.

I take the bus to work as it's way to far to walk (I used Google maps once, it said it would take over 4 hours to walk!) Unless it's down right down pouring rain or frigidly cold (like this past winter), I stay on the same bus all the way. (On bad weather days I get off at one stop and catch another bus that gets me within…

So far this week I've gotten up on time to go to the gym or run (or run at gym) every day! I hope I can keep it up. It makes me whole day seem so much more productive. More so on the days that I run. I even did an outdoor run this morning. I hope to get another outdoor run in Saturday. I will have to see with the freezing…

Last week I had to precook up all my meat that thawed in my freezer. Tonight I precooked some veggies and potatoes. Now I have some ready made meals for this week! I had some late nights this week. I've been getting ready all week for the new quarter for my Sunday School class. I usually do it almost all on Saturday. I was…

Thursday I was outside with NO jacket on! I didn't need one. It was +13C out! Wowzers!! I loved it. We even opened the window at work! (Had to the air system was blasting out hot air and it was roasting upstairs!) I've got a couple runs in this week (courtesy of the gym). I was going to get to the gym Thursday but then I…

Jenny - Not even close to the same as last winter!!! The ground right now is actually bare! We've been getting a good snowstorm, but within a week it warms up and rains and the snow is gone. I'm loving it!! This week has been so long! I realized Wednesday night the reason why I was so tired was that I had been out every…

The treadmill isn't always accurate as to what you burn. Unless you can enter in your stats (like weight), it seems to be general as to what it says.

I did the C25K program so I can highly recommend it. It took me from bring a non runner to being a runner and I am in love with it. Last year I started running longer and did my first 10k (Profile picture is after my first 10k) This spring I'm starting my training to do a half-marathon in September. I"m excited to start!…
