a schedule... stairs... and other tidbits


Ahhh.... a stairmill... haven't been on one of these since Gold's in Smokey Point,  yep, that's like 2 years ago.  But I've got the Big Climb coming up so I figured I'd see how I could do.   In 2007 my time for 69 flights of stairs was 15:25.  Decent ;)     Today,  I did 70 flights in 18 minutes.  That's not bad considering I haven't done any stairs in 2 years.  I'm totally impressed with myself for that :)


Yesterday was a 3.08 mile run.  It was good ... and I threw some hills in there (lord knows not intentionally.. but the waterfront is down the hill, and the condo is UP the hill).

I have to admit,  I'm not a good one at keeping a schedule.  I tend to switch it up, and then forget what I switched up... so this training program for the half is actually going well for me.   I worked at it 5 days this week.  3 run days and 2 workout days.  Wahoo !
Having to report to you guys makes me accountable ... I suck at lying, so if I post it, then I have to do it :) 

Point to ponder - with everyone's 'new years goals',  they usually include breaking an unhealthy habit.  "Experts say it takes 21 days for a habit (good or bad) to form,  which could mean the difference between making fitness a regular part of your routine or letting your gym membership collect dust" (from the March Oxygen mag)
OK people... it's the 18th... we aren't 21 days into the new year yet... How ya doing on your good or bad habits ????   

OK.... what's your plan for this coming week ?  what are your goals ?  what about your meals ?   Plan it out, pack it up, and go people go !
