Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:58:00 EST Spring Break http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5284034 I'm happy that I slogged the last 2 days. I'm doing the 5K to 10K training program <BR> on kissmyblackass.com <BR> <BR> Today I'm not going to slog because I got a massage this morning and now I'm working. <BR> <BR> I'll walk later once I get this work done. <BR> <BR> Spring break is awesome. <BR> <BR> Feeling good about myself, physically and emotionally. <BR> <BR> <em>48</em> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:55:27 EST Great Trip http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5275952 Hiked around Berkeley this weekend on a visit with my daughter. <BR> <BR> So fun to be outside. <BR> <BR> Came back to Indiana to a fairly significant snow storm. <BR> <BR> Winter is still here. <BR> <BR> So am I. Wed, 6 Mar 2013 13:03:56 EST 5K Results http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5254522 5K went pretty well. Ran it in a pretty pitiful 45m and some seconds. But I did slog all the way and that was my goal. I am feeling a little down about it for some reason. Trying to get back to HEALTH this year, so I need to pull out of this fattitude thing I have going on right now.
