Three weeks later...

Wow! Time flies! It's been about three weeks since my last post! Twenty days to be exact. I suppose the wisdom tooth ordeal set me back a bit. I had no idea that the pain would last so long! However, it is good to say that as of now, wisdom tooth pulling pain is gone, that can no longer be an excuse! =)

Let's see, what has been happening as far as running is concerned. It seems like it has been slow-going. Last weekend, I will admit, that I did not run on Saturday or Sunday. I know, bummer. We went up to Concord for Alyssa's drum corp rehearsals and failed to run on Saturday morning because we were....too tired. I know, sounds like a cop-out. But, in my defense, we drove for 7 hrs on Friday and arrived at 12:15 am. We had to have Alyssa at rehearsal by 9am. Too tired. Then Mike, Pam, Ryan, Cindy and I hiked for a while at Mt. Diablo, so some exercise at least. Then Sunday morning, same thing, we would have had to get up at 5:45am to fit running in, and we just didn't do it, too tired. That's all I have to say about that. Oh, except the view from Mt. Diablo is stunning!

The new news is that starting tomorrow Mike and I are gonna get up at 5:45am and begin weight training! We have done this before, we do know what we are getting ourselves into! =) The plan is to lift weights three mornings a week, run two afternoons a week and keep running on Saturdays! We are both going off of soda (iced tea here we come!), and eating well. The plan is in motion. We are both very motivated about this as our Daughter Jenn is getting married in September (4th) and we are going on a seven day cruise in September (20th)! We are gonna be looking good by then! =)

Well, it is Memorial day, one of my rare day's off, no work, no school! Therefore, I am going to close this blog and go finish BBQ-ing my chicken and relax!
