Finally feeling more like myself
I'm glad to report that finally, finally, I felt a little more like my old self on my run today. It was still slow, of course, but it was as if things were working better. Hopefully everything I've been doing has finally been working to get myself back into running shape, or else it was just a fluke that I felt pretty good this morning!
The weather certainly helped. It was chilly but bright and sunny. I optimistically wore a long sleeve t-shirt but took it off after five minutes (or less.) There were a lot of people out walking, shopping, doing their Saturday morning routine and it was nice to have "company" instead of being inside the gym where everyone is staring at TVs. I am still only doing 30 minutes (today it was 20/10 with a 2-minute walking break that turned into mostly standing at a light) so I've got a long way to go, but I was happy to be out there.
I rode my trainer while watching my tape of ER from the other night (and some other mindless TV when that was over.) Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who still watches ER (well, Mary does too) but I do like it!
Matt and I did some cleaning up around here, then some errands and came back to sit in the sun and read. About 5 minutes after we got outside, the sun started to fade behind the building to the west of us. It got kind of cold so we moved inside. I was going to lift or do something like that, but I took a nap instead.
Tonight we're going to watch a movie On Demand. Gotta go help with dinner!

I'm glad you had a nice run! I still watch ER too. I think it's gotten better again in the last couple of years, but the couple of years before that were a little boring. I also have to tape it because I can't stay up that late.

Becky that is great about your run! I hope you continue to feel good :)
Matt still watches ER although I think it has become a bit pointless, so you are not alone.
