Weekly Check In
January 9th, 2008 @ 5:22 pm by Ms. Dahlia
It is Wednesday, which means that it’s time for an exercise update. (After last week’s post, there was some interest in a weekly check in, so here goes.)I successfully ran two miles on Thursday (and by successfully, I mean I ran everywhere the sidewalks/roads were plowed;’ there was maybe a quarter mile where I walked because it’s just too hard to run in 8 inches of snow.)
Friday was some at home strength training, and I did more of the same on Monday.
Not too shabby considering the sadness/craziness of the past few days.
More on that will come. (Perhaps a compare/contrast of weddings and funerals, since the same people attend both? Or why everyone at a funeral wants to talk about wedding planning? Or how cute the ring bearer and flower girl will be at the wedding of “Aunt Fun”, the nickname I was given after we made pillow forts together in the basement of the funeral home?)
How else has everyone fared in their exercise plans for this week?

So sorry to hear about the loss in your family.
I did 4 days on the elliptical, and seemed to walk a phenomenal about at work running errands for my boss. So far, 1 pound down!
i had a funeral on sunday…i feel you. lots of people wanted to know when the wedding was but i felt like it was the inappropriate time to talk about that.
i did a 30 minute TaeBo workout on monday. have been sore ever since. plan to get up and do something tomorrow morning. down half a lb but thats probably water.
meh…..
-hugs-
I joined a half marathon training group locally. We started in mid-December but this week we really got in full gear. So, I ran 3 days and again tonight and have done 2 days of cross-training. I am looking forward to my rest day tomorrow!
Everybody keep up the great work!

Miss Dahlia, I am so sorry to hear about a funeral in your family. My guess is that everyone wants to discuss the wedding to lift spirits and remember that happier times are to come?
Let’s see… this week, I did 3 days on the elliptical, lifted at home twice, and ran some errands around Georgetown during a long incubation period in the lab and amassed over 20,000 steps on my pedometer. And somehow, according to the scale, gained half a pound. Not exactly a great start, eh?
