I know that it has been a while since I have done any posting but rest assured it has also been a while since I did anything in the way of fitness. We spent the week moving into a new house so I didn't have Internet for a few days and I didn't get a chance to do any type of exercise while moving outside of the moving itself. For anyone that is wondering moving is almost as much of a workout as actual exercise, every morning during the moving process I was waking up with some crazy sore legs my guess is it was from going up and down ladders and up and down stairs with boxes over and over again. I don't know the calorie burn count for stuff like that but I am hoping that it is quite high as I ate like crap for most of the week things like pizza, Mexican food, Sonic, frozen yogurt I don't even want to look at a scale once I get the Wii set back up, I am sure I will not like what I see. This morning I started to run again so I can get back on a routine. This was the first run through the new neighborhood and as it turns out the laps I was doing are longer than I thought they were and are much more hilly than the old neighborhood was. Today I ran a total of almost 6.8 miles, which is way longer than I have ever run in the past and is a bit longer than a 10K. That made me pretty darn happy my mile time was over 10 minutes which I was not too happy about but I will get that down under 10 again before the end of next week. All the hills and the fact that I have not run in over a week made today go a little slower. I was happy that I got the distance down so now once I get the time I will start to make it shorter before I try and add another lap since each lap is a little more than 1.6 miles. Can't wait to see how my legs feel tomorrow after a run like today's. I would love to see 10 miles ran in the morning before the end of September since I was invited to run a half marathon in October. Once I get a sub 60 minute 10 K my next goal will be the 10 miles before the end of next month. Come back to see how it is going now that I am in the new house and have internet again I will start posting like I was before.

Back in the swing of things
