fall 2010

I am still here and beenworking full time now since august. i am so blessed I can go out and run at lunch time plus we have a nice workout room on the days that it may rain and be cold. I completed a 5k on Oct 30 here in Federal way the freaky 5K it was raining of course but overall a fun run. i will be doing a 5K turkey trot on Thanksgiving am and then the santa run on Dec 18th I am planning to join the nearby LA fitness health club and get back to working out in the early am before work. I am still working on looseing the 20 lbs I gained while off work for a year. i love living in WA state and my new life.

update

My contract job ended so I am back looking for full time employment. plus backworking at my running this last Sat I did a 8K run that was the Seattle Seafair torchlight run. I was happ with a time of 54 min considering I am 2olbs heavier then when I did the 5K last year at this time. This coming Sat is my half marathon in Tacoma over the narrows bridge it should bea a very scenic half marathon. Today I did 8miles and I walked part of it overall I feel good tonight. I will most likely have to walk part of the half marathon on Sat but I am ok with that. I have always did my events that I redister for unless they get cancelled.

This will be a great place for me to start working at getting my time and the extra pounds off. Weather will be in the 60's so perfect. I know I can get back my running and the extra weight off.

YAHOO YIPEE I WILL BE GOING TO WORK

I have been offered a 6 month contract job with Amazon at their south lake union campus area. My first day of work will be tomorrow I check in at 9:00 am. I feel good things are starting to come my way lately. This last weekend I spectated at ladies triathlon here in Federal Way WA it was a nice small one so next year if they bring it back to Federal Way I am hoping to beparticipating in it! I have the Sea Fare 8K in about 2 weeks YAHOO this will be my 2 time doing this event but last year I only did the 5K. I will try and post some photos from this last weekends ladies triathlon.

unmotivated

I have fallen off the running wagon and I know I need to get back on. I think all the stress of not having a job is starting to get to me. I have 2 more unemployment checks coming and that is it. Maybe there is something else in this life I am supposed to be doing? I am going to look into finding some volunteer work that I may enjoy as I continue job hunting. Summer is starting to show up here in WA YAHOO. I will do my best to get back on the running wagon. I have had some tough times in my life but this one seems real tough. BUT TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST TOUGH PEOLPE DO :)

starting of week number two

I was able to get all my runs in last week and started another week of training this Monday. today I did 3 miles in about 32 minutes, BOY Mondays are tough days to get out and run, just felt a little tired from the weekend. Our weathere here in Washington is not the greatest lately! does not even feel like we have had Spring yet! and here we are almost time for memorial weekend. In 16 days I will be another year older YIKES 44 I do not know where this last year went. so been doing a little reflecting on this last year and boy it was a year of change for me but overall the changes have all been for the better. Soon I will set down and start workong on my goals for this next year. I am still looking for a full time purchasing job I am keeping my head up!

FRIDAY YAHOO

Today was a 3o min cross training day for me. I went to the gym and rode the bike for 30 min and then did some stretching and core work, not to bad. The weather is still rainy and in the 50's sure hope it starts clearing up soon.

Good run today!

I did a nice 3 mile run today time of 30:25 ave pace of 10:08 so I was pretty pleased. I did this run near the 24 hr fitness gym that I work out at. I knew today was a 3 mile run and then had to do some strength training so might as well get the run done near the gym. I felt very happy about the run. The weather this am was great this afternoon the storm has arrived rain and wind AGAIN LOL. I watched last night episode of the biggest looser it was the one where the run a marathon it was great to see them do this it goes to show that you can do anything you put your mind too! todays running quote:

With a body made joyous through movement, the mind is able to relax. With mind/body balance, we can take the power of feeling good and generate compassion.
