Sunday! - A change is as good as a rest!

I had a great day with my husband today. Burnaby, to North Van, to West Van. Up Grouse Mountain. They call it the Peak of Vancouver. It is breathtaking!! Saw the Cleveland Dam in Vancouver. Went to Deep cove. Busy busy. It was rainy, then sunny. And, up on the top of Grouse it was 4 degrees and SNOWING. We got back down, and sunny. Got to love Vancouver!

We did a lot of walking today. We also saw three timber wolves in a habitat at the base of Grouse Mountain. I think we live in such a beautiful place. I also saw Paul Plakas on the Grouse Tram. My husband spotted him on there. He is the kick ass fitness trainer on the network Slice. He must have been filming up there as he was with a crew.

It was a good day! No runs today.

Just walking today. We figure about 3 km of walking. Most delightful scenery. And the best honey donuts you have ever tasted! Sometimes you just have to splurge.

Last night we were watching the Housewives of Altanta. One of them used the phrase... "You need to get skinny vision." I liked that. LOL.

#500in2010 walk today 3 km = 1.86 miles

#500in2010 total miles for the week = 12.45 miles (darn knee)

Saturday

I miss her. Yes, that is me. August 2008. Size six pants, extra small top.


So, I didn't run on Wednesday. Sore knee.

I haven't done much. Just my walks, and I can feel my jeans getting tighter by the second. Ugggh.

Friday - #500in2010 = 1.25 miles

Saturday - #500in2010 = 1 miles (walked to and from an appointment)

#500in2010 = 2.25 miles

I will most likely not be running tomorrow as I have some wedding scouting to do! I hope to run on Wednesday, try the 4 hills and hope for the best. Not the kind of week I was hoping for at all. I am really disappointed.

I will not give up. Even if I cannot run, I have a plan B. But it will not add up the miles. However, it could be a lot of fun. Pole Dancing for fitness, and Zumba classes are on the horizon!

I am also seeking out a life coach. I think it is time to break through the barriers!

I didn't run tonight. Will see how I feel and hopefully run on Sunday. *fingers crossed*
