Sunday 7/31. I worked out today. Did you?

Or are you taking a break today?

I did a 2 mile walk/run today. I ran 3/4 of a mile and walked the rest. Although I was not able to increase the distance that I can run at one time (1/8 of a mile) I did increase the overall distance that I was able to run by 1/16 of a mile.

I also hopped on the scales today and I've lost 6 pounds in the 11 days since I started working out. Although I've made a few modifications I haven't really started to diet yet. That has got me feeling very optimistic about the future.

And congrats on the weight loss! :-)

But am clambering back on today. Have been travelling and just didn't make the time. Oops. But will do my cardio pilates video in an hour or two.

6. I got a taste of off-road biking today.

Mr. Longhorn and I were checked out a shortcut for my commute that involved taking a horse trail. The route involves riding on a busy U.S. highway for about half a mile (instead of just crossing it) and squeezing through some brush that is actually crossing private property. The off-road part would be pretty sticky after a heavy rain, too.

I think I'll take the longer way, all public roads, even though this other route would cut about 2.5 miles. But it was fun and we got in ten miles! :)

7. I usually take weekends off

though I did exercise on Saturday because I took Friday off.
