Back to Normal

It is cold and there is snow on the ground.  That is normal (unfortunately.)

But the good news is:

tennis

Indoors, of course. And I won both both sets!!

I played tennis…doubles in my Monday tennis contract for the first time since Oct 1.  I don’t get the same endorphins as with running but I had fun and it’s good exercise.

This was on the car next to mine in the restaurant parking lot …was it a hint?

I ran twice this week (Tues & Thurs) !! Four miles on dry land and 6 miles on snowy/icy/clear streets. I had dinner plans on Thurs but my friend agreed to wait until I was done running.  So I parked at the restaurant and headed downtown for 3 miles.

Not an easy run.  It was downhill on the way out and dark (and ended up in a not too safe area) and of course, uphill & windy on the way back.  But I definitely enjoyed my dinner more after this run.

I rode the stationary bike during lunch twice (Wed & Fri.) — watched Private Practice & Grey’s Anatomy on my iPad.

Wed Yoga with Lisa

Wed Yoga with Lisa (yes, that’s me on the right.

I went to YOGA for the first time since I broke my ankle in Dec 2011.  I used to go every week but have hesitated to start due to my ankle and then due to my foot.  I really enjoy it and find it relaxing.  My ankle is still stiff which makes me clumsy but the instructor is so supportive. Love her!vacation

So now that I am in an exercise routine (for at least ONE week), I am going on vacation tomorrow…

naples 1-11x

I hope to post pictures like this…but I hear the heat wave in Fla is ending…

Happy Running!  I’ll be back posting in a week!
