Too hot to run? Paddle board!

Yep, too hot. Just wasn't feeling it.  So I went home and loaded up the board.....it was PERFECT weather for it.  Water as smooth as glass.

Weekday run

Got in one tonight.



I've not been running as much as I should and my weight is creeping up.  Seems to all be in my belly. Yuck, that is the pits about being middle aged,...but wait, I'm really closer to a senior adult!  I need to commit to more long slow runs.  They say they burn fat best.

Secret City 5k For Haiti

Did a 5k race today. I was very pleased with my results.  Second best time for a 5k.

Last year I was slower in this race but I won second or third.  More competition this year.

Friday evening run

I feel like I've been slacking lately in my running.  I've only run a couple of times a week the past two weeks.  But, I've had some awesome friday evening runs.  Tonight and last friday was perfect weather, cool and a bit windy.  Got in 5 miles both times.



If I don't run three times a week, I start feeling out of shape.  A run like this evening makes me realize I am still doing pretty good for my age.  So I had my favorite Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream after dinner.  I love to eat too much to stop running!
