A woman/wife/mom is going to run a mile every day for a year. What could be more fun than that?

I'll gladly run tomorrow
Total slacker day. No real excuse. Except its dark outside when I get home. Really dark.

Talkie-walkie
Went for a run with a friend today. I was sucking wind, feeling tired. Thankfully there was someone to talk to while I was walking. It was crappy, but thats all related to eating like crap and not sleeping much over the past few days.
I ran 4 miles today.

Black Friday
This doesn't pertain to my toenails, its just the shopping day and since I ran yesterday, I'm taking a rest today.

Family gathers
I ran 1 quick mile while I was waiting for my parents to arrive for the holiday and for sushi to be made for pick-up. I am running the Southborough Gobble Wobble tomorrow, but need to give the legs a stretch anyway.

Damn this is boring
Running on a treadmill sucks. It is SO boring. I don't care what's on TV. Its boring.
I ran 2 miles today.

Drunken bum
I drank a lot last night at a party, and also danced quite a bit in high heels. So, I am totally calling "Uncle" today and not running.

Party day
I ran 1 mile then changed before the sitter arrived. We have the yearly school benefit, so I wanted to get in a little mile before I started to booze it up.

Diet and exercise, thats' the secret
I haven't eaten a carb in 2 weeks and I'm close to my goal weight. I've been running too, which I'm sure has helped.

Speedy Reed-y
I ran 2 miles tonight on the treadmill. I ran them fast (for me) at a 9:15 pace with a few minutes of walking in the middle.
I felt pretty good. I signed up for the Turkey trot today.

Seriously sore
I was walking carefully this morning, my body was pretty sore from the run. Which is a good sign that I pushed it but a bad sign that I couldn't handle it. I'm old.
I ran 1 mile today to just do something.

4.5 with fun
Today was a great day for a run. I did 4.5 miles, through the park, up and over the big hill, then raced the last mile downhill to home. Its a beautiful crisp fall day today and I'm sure its the last nice day before winter settles in. I was happy to be running today.

Suicidal
I ran 3 on the treadmill at the gym today, with Grace Lazenby as my motivation. Then I stretched and ran 4 suicides on the basketball court. I was praying I wouldn't throw up. I didn't. I was exhausted all day, but it was good.

Sofa sucker
I sat on the sofa for a minute and then just laid down, snuggled in, and fell asleep instead of running. The sofa just sucked the will to run right out of me.

Nothing to write about
I did 1.5 today at work. It was nice to get out but thats it. I'm losing the will to run. How many more days?

Up Stairs
My knees are not pleased with the run from yesterday and they are bitching every time I walk upstairs. I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm also carrying a 30lb baby at the same time, but my knees are not happy. I took today off.

My favorite day of the year
The clocks fell back this morning. This is my favorite day of the year, the whole day stretches on forever and you can accomplish almost everything on the to-do list.
I ran 4.5 miles today. It was cold, but when dressed appropriately, it was tolerable.
There are 3 weeks left until the Turkey trot, remember to throw in some speed work this week.

Making wine from water
I sweated out my share of 6 bottles of wine today at the gym. It wasn't pretty, but maybe I shoulda thought about that when I was pouring that final glass of scotch after dinner with friends. I felt much better afterwards!
I ran 2 miles, with sprints, and did a whole bunch of weights.

Rain rain go away
Rainy dark day today, so I did 2 miles outside. I was having an awesome day, so I didn't want to blow it by not running.

With Grace
I'd forgotten how fun it is to run with Grace Lazenby. I did the 40 minute treadmill workout today, logging 3.5 miles and a 10% grade hill. I have the picture of her in my mind and I always feel I'm just 1 more workout away from getting her abs. (I wish!)

Just 1 more day
I did just 1 mile today, at lunch. It was a lazy day, which is strange when you consider I printed out the 5K plan this morning. Maybe tomorrow the inspiration will strike?

Dark days of fall
Its impossible to run in the sunshine during the week now.
I ran 1.5 miles on the hamster-wheel, wearing the gimmick shoes. It was fine.
