Monday - A New Week!

Spin Class at club this a.m. for 60 min. Well, that's about it. Maureen, you've inspired me to get busy on the pushups. No excuses, they don't take that much time and can be done anywhere. That being said, my goal is to get in 50 today. It HAS to be good for you! Have a great day everyone!

Sunday in Virginia!

Sounds like a wonderful time! I can't wait to hear all the stories, and see pictures! Dancing most certainly counts as exercise!

I was up bright and early this morning for a 5 a.m. jog before our tee time. Out in the middle of no where, it was DARK. Actually stayed off the trail I ran yesterday, not for fear of safety from bad people, but from fear of safety from not seeing the trail and falling flat on my face! So I just went around the resort parking lots (and around and around and around).

Played golf again today. Stopped keeping score after the first nine, when I was hitting more than double par on most holes. Today was most certainly not my day for golf!

Haven't put in the push ups yet, but I anticipate doing that later tonight! As for now, it's listening to the Redskins while we drive home!

Sunday a.m. in Austin

Ran to and from Capitol with Scott, Keith, Paula & Kelsey. Hard to get ourselves out of bed this a.m., but as always (well almost always) it was worth it. Nice cool morning for a 21 min. run! Have a great day everyone!

Great Day

Well, it was a great day. Corey & Stevie got married! We are so happy for them. Loads of fun at the rehearsal dinner last night, the wedding today and the reception afterwards. And, Maureen, we are counting all the dancing we did as exercise...and we did a LOT of dancing! Sounds like you had a good round of golf today. Good job! Oh, and a great win for UT today. Hook 'em. We even sang the The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You at the reception! Good night all. Tomorrow's a new day...

Colonial Jaunt

Wow! Austin sounds fantastic! Made only better by the Texas win, right? Sounds like a great run that you got in, too!

I'm outside of Colonial Williamsburg right now, sitting on the patio of our room, drinking Pinot Noir and eating cheese and crackers, looking out over the marina. Oh, wait, this is supposed to be about exercising. But since you tried to rub in that you went to the Four Seasons, I'm going to rub in what I'm doing!

Not so good yesterday, but I expected that. So let's skip over it.

Today, played 18 (in a cart, but we all know that I walk a lot even with a cart, since I never get the ball very far! Oh, and Keith, with the new chart I wasn't sure how to record that. When I put something in the "other" category, it jumped me to over 8 points for the day, and that's not right. So I just counted it as 40 minutes walking.). Then I went for a jog on a trail around the resort. I wanted to have a great run, but I really just couldn't get it done. It was a 4 mile trail, and I think I went a little over 3 miles. I ran for 30 minutes, although that last minute and 15 seconds was brutal!

Some push ups in the locker room and then a massage to cap it all off!

Wait! The best part... kept true score and shot a 121! I'm happy with that!

I'm so excited for all of you! I hope you're having the best time - go Stevie and Cory!

Saturday in Austin

Okay, light on the run (15 min) but was a lot of fun hanging with Keith, Paula & Scott. Maureen, you'll be happy to know we spent a little time at the Four Seasons after the run in adarondack (I have no idea how to spell that) chairs taking in the beauty of Austin and the lake. Walked back to the hotel and we are all getting ready to settle in to watch Texas play OU. Later all...

Stevie & Corey, October 11, 2008

Okay the day is here. Yay! This is gonna be so cool. As for the blog, the day has started out very well. I went for a run with Scott and Barbara and Paula. We ran along Congress down to the river and then along the river. It was a bit overcast and cool, a perfect day for running. We ran 30 minutes in, I think, about a 9 minute per mile pace. Not really sure but that should be about 3 and 1/3 miles. Anyway, that is what is on the chart.

We ended up at the Four Seasons for coffee and visiting. Much better than the running part. We are down at the bar now right next to the Petit Bistro watching the Texas-OU game on the big screen. We'll see! Keep blogging!

One More Day

One more day till the wedding and one more day of running in Austin. Today I just did Congress street laps. I ran from the hotel south to the start line of the 10k and back to the Capitol and around to the hotel and I did two of those. I think that was about 4 miles, at least that is what is going on the chart. Good work Barbara on the garage workout and way to go Maureen.

Trainer

Good morning all! Worked out this a.m. for 30 min. on my bike on the trainer in the garage...not exciting, but it's something! Great job on Cap 10k Keith and Maureen, sounds like you were in the zone, too! Have a great day everybody.

Show me up, why don't you!

I had a great jog last night, too -although not as long as Keith's, pretty good for me!

I went 4 miles in 37:22. Using the calculator in Mike's head, he says that's a 9:21 pace. That's one second faster than I usually run on the treadmill, and I did this 4 miles on the street! Must have been motivated or distracted or both, because I think I could have run for forever.

Have a great day, everyone!
