Yesterday's workout
Didn't happen, felt sick and tired. Took a rest day instead.
Today's workout
Warm up, run 3 min-walk 2 min x 7, cool down, mini hill work out, cool down and stretch
Walk was @ 3 mph and runs were @ 5 mph for the first 2, then 4 mph for the last 5. Felt really good. Tied my runners different than normal and got some rubbing in different spots. Will try to tie them tight at the bottom and top and loose in the middle next time. Should be good.

With second skin, depending which type you have, I usually have the one you cut to size and shape, cut a piece to cover the area that has the blister or is prone to getting blisters, peel the blue plastic layer off and throw it away revealing the gel. Put the gel side on the blister area and cover with either the tape provided in the packet or strapping tape (Sports Tape). The gel will cushion existing blisters and protect the skin of blister prone areas.
Ahh! I didn't do the cover with tape part and had problems. That makes so much more sense. Thanks!
Today's workout
Warmup, run 3 min-walk 2 min x 6, cool down and stretch
2% incline. Walk @ 3.0 mph. Run @ 4.0 mph.
Awesome workout. Felt good. Feet feel good - no blisters!
Not a very good food day. But I learned that eating good feels good!

60 minute walk outside -15*C, and still got sunburnt! Lol
Some blistering on the ends of two toes, possibly due to wearing two pairs of socks in my runners to keep warm. Next time only wear cross country ski socks.

Thanks Trusylver! Now if only I could be that dedicated with my eating. That seems to be my downfall - but that is way better than I had been. I feel like I have more of a sense of purpose with my workouts now and I am looking into better nutrition, so I will get there! It will just take some time.

Rest day so nothing to hard - lol
30 minute dance

Today's workout
Warm up, run 3 min- walk 2 min x 9, cool down and stretch
Awesome workout today! Went by really fast. Walked @ 3 mph and ran @ 4 mph. Very comfortable but still challenging.
On Saturday my running partner and I are going to the running store to get some shies and advice. Should be good. I wan to get 2 pairs (one for inside and one for outside). I just hope it doesn't break the bank. I think proper footwear is a good investment.
I also want to see if they can order in a sports bra for me. The one I like I can only get shipped from the UK and its over $190 not including shipping. Yikes!!! Stupid big boobs!

Today's workout
Warmup, run 3 min - walk 2 min x 7, cool-down and stretch.
Good work out, glad it was a easy one. Not feeling 100% today.

Today's workout
30 minutes of lane swimming
45 minutes of aqua fitness. Not a great class today but still moved for the full time!!
I need to learn how to stop drinking my calories and how to have just one (or no) cookies. These have been my downfalls this week.

Today is my last day being 32. I am going to make age 33 my "fit to be me" year.
To celebrate I got a proper running shoe fitting for my half marathon goal this year. I got a pair of winter running pants (I need to have them hemmed, but my seamstress comes on Monday so it shouldn't be a problem). I also got a nice new running bra - only a little cheaper than the one I want from the UK. My husband bought me another pair of running toe socks. I think I should be mostly set.

Goals for this year:
Walk/run 3-4 times a week
Cross train 2 times a week
Rest 1 day per week (more if needed-aka, know when you need a break and don't be afraid to take it!)
Be more active during daily life
Eat breakfast every day
Drink at least 2 L of water a day
Meal plan (because failing to plan is planning to fail)
Find a system that works for me to manage my food intake (calories, portions, something)
Set SMART goals
Use affirmations and visualization
Here's to a great year!
