Honest, I have been exercising! Here’s my monthly update.

Here goes with my monthly workout.

When I was in Scotland I did my run in the mornings and usually a walk at night. My sister lives on the beach.  Don’t get the wrong ideas, it is on the North Sea and very windy most of the time.  The morning temperature was a cool 42-45 with daytime highs in the 50’s which is a nice change from the hot humid weather of Florida.

My first run was a 10 miler.  I wanted to see the deer again on this run so I kept going along the beach and through a wooded area that the army uses for training.  I saw two so that made my day. The rest of the week it varied from 3-5 miles and I changed directions a lot and saw some old haunts.  At night I went out for a 2-3 mile walk which was easy to fit in because the TV shows are not exactly worth staying in for.  I brought my Mum back here to   sunny Florida for a 3 month break.

When I got back I went right into my usual workout routine, getting ready for my half marathon on November 15th here is Fort Lauderdale.

Added to my "regular" weekly workout

I borrowed a wheelchair from my work and some nights,after making dinner and before my gym classes,  I would push my Mum up to Target (2 mile round trip) just to get out so that should be some sort of exercise because I was sweating when we got back to the house.

I’ve been waking up myself at 5:15AM without an alarm clock so I am hoping to get past that during my week of rest after the half marathon next week.  We shall see.  If not I will go out for a walk.

OK, now I am updated and promise myself to continue to monitor my workouts.  I think it really helps keep you motivated.
