aggie95's Journal, 16 February 2016

Back after a long weekend! It was a great weekend too. Did a little too much eating as my DH made a great dinner Sat night for Valentines Day (steak, roasted potatoes, garlic butter mushrooms, Caesar salad and we split a bottle of red wine) and then on Sunday we celebrated my son's birthday with my family, so there was a big dinner (ham, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, parsnips and cauliflower plus cake!).

On Monday which was a holiday (family day), I went over to my friend's house and we went for a run. It was lightly snowing, so a little slippery. We did about 9.6 km and around the 5.5km mark I fell but we kept going. When we got back, I had a look at my knee and it was not to good. A big scrap and bruising. It feels ok today though. But we are proud of ourselves for doing this distance as we have signed up for a 10 k race the first weekend of April. So, we know we can do it!

This morning I weighed myself for reality check. I'm up 3 lbs from Friday's weigh in. I need to get back to the routine and watch the portion sizes! Plus I need to do some strength training/core exercises.

It's snowing here today, so no run at lunchtime. But I plan to do a short run on the treadmill tonight and some stretching.

Have a good one!

Great run :). I just gotten back to running and I feel so accomplished after. It also clears my head and I get to spend some extra time with my little dog. Now I have a few runs under my belt, I don't ache so much anymore. Keep it up :)
