Two Good Days

I had a really great day yesterday, went out for a 3.5 mile run (first in over a week) and had a good work day. On top of all that, managed to stay within my points and drink lots of water.

Having such a good day yesterday had me motivated from the beginning today. I didn't have as good a work day (stopped way earlier than I should have so I could enjoy the beautiful weather). I went for another run 3.75 miles this time, but I went on a completely different route. I went to the place where my 5K of last October started, ran all along the river (half of the 5K route) and then ran all the way home. I really liked running along the river. It was a nice change. Note to self to take that route more often.

After lunch, I worked for another hour, then went to vote (school board elections). It was at this point that I decided I was not working the rest of the day. Sat in the garden and had a cup of coffee, chatted with the neighbor, and then went out for a ride on my "pink barbie bike". I have an old Schwinn bike that we painted pink last year. I love it! Enjoyed the afternoon riding around, talking to neighbors, riding some more, talking to more neighbors. After dinner (ham and cabbage), I headed back out again on the bike.

So in two days I've earned quite a few activity points, between the running and the bike. The bike could easily become an every night after dinner thing for me this year. Just love it, and everybody that I ran into couldn't help but smile when they saw me coming up the street on my pink retro bike. Don't have any pics of it yet but will try to get one posted tomorrow. :)

So tomorrow I must stay focused on work, since I'm now technically two hours behind schedule, and of course, stay focused on what I'm eating, make sure I drink lots of water and just keep on keeping on.

Feeling really good tonight. Can you tell?
