30 days: Day 18- Testing the Blaze

I love my wife!  I have been stressing about my TomTom watch since it started malfunctioning. In an effort to allieviate my stresses, she handed me her Fitbit blaze saying, “here you can have mine!” When I suggested I use her TomTom she looked at me with a straight face and said, “Ah, no!” To be fair, when she does run, she’s all business and I can’t blame her reluctance to give up her TomTom.

So, I continue my training without my running partner. The Fitbit Blaze is going to take some getting used to, but here is another mile in the books.

30 days: day 17

The first week of school is always a stressful time for me.  Trying to get my kids prepared, as well as getting all of my tasks completed, usually keeps me up late at nights.
I was able to run this evening. Which I must say was a tremendous triumph over yesterday’s run which was nothing but pain.   Today I tried these calf sleeves for my outside run.   Although I felt 0 pain, I’m not sure if it was because of the sleeve or the lower distance.

Day 17, 1 mile in the books

By the way!  I said goodbye to my TomTom Sports watch today, it completely died on me after yesterday’s run.  😢

30 days: day 16a

There are some days that reaching your goals will just not happen.  This was my day Day 16 of running.  Nothing I did would have helped me to accomplish the goal.  So for Day 16,  I ran 0-miles. Even my FitBit activity was low for this Sunday.

You don’t fail until you stop!

I try not to get upset with myself when I miss a goal. Then, I remembered my post from a few days ago. The only way you don’t accomplish your goal is if you stop trying.   So today, I pick up where I left off on Day 16. 2 miles in the books!

This was a painful 2-mile run
