the treadmill diaries

I’m happy to report that things settled down after my Unwanted Saturday Drama and that the rest of the day turned out to be quite pleasant.

First, my doggies came back from their salon appointment looking cuter than cute. See for yourself.

From Right Before….

             From immediately after…

Then, I turned my attention to cooking us some grub – beer marinated beef tips, mashed potatoes, bruschetta on toasted focaccia bread, grilled corn on the cob, and a huge salad (which isn’t pictured). It was all absolutely fabulous if I do say so myself (and so did my husband).

We ended the night with a short bonfire and some TV watching. Very relaxing.   End Saturday.

Enter Sunday.

When I first got up, I wasn’t feeling my usual run so I first ate some breakfast (cinnamon raisin French toast) and then got my grocery shopping done. With those things behind me, I decided I could trek out to get some miles.

Now, I’m not really sure what came over me but my interest in a short outing turned into MUCH MUCH more. It may have been that it dawned on me that today’s routine marks 50 DAYS of daily workouts. Not too shabby, right?

And, I surprised myself by feeling that in honor of these 50 days I could run 5 miles today even after yesterday’s 7.  But, that’s not the weirdest part.

I got the big bright idea to shoot a VLOG / video while running.  So, I did.

Video Disclaimer:

• No one was harmed in the making of this video including me (to Jon – aka my husband)
• I’m not the most eloquent of speakers while in motion and forced to improve. Yes, words get used more than once. Wrong words are used in places. But you’ll get the drift of what I’m trying to say (hopefully).
• Since I am exercising while filming, please forgive the sweating, the lack of make-up (again) and my stylin outfit.

And now thetreadmilldiaries presents…what Di said on her 5 miler. LOL J
