Happy 4th of july!

Going for a barbecue in the evening, so knew HAD to do some workout today.
DH wanted to go for a walk in the AM but couldnt because had a very late night last night. Woke at 9 AM which for me is like the afternoon. Lounged in the house for sometime , then gave myself a pep talk, went over past logs and journal entries, and finally got on the tmill. Today is acually rest day according to the plan but I dont know if the LSD will happen tomorrow.

Ran 4.4mphx90 sec/W3mphx90 sec. Am going to try and follow the C25k program and build myself upto 30 min continuous running again. Had stopped because wanted to do the R/W program, not realising that continuous running also helps build endurance.So back to the basics.

Will be keeping the food diary too, not over here tho', its too boring and also that has to be in the kitchen where most of the food related crimes are committed.
