Did the same run today that I did yesterday, just a little modified to make it longer. For the second day I passed this cute little old man power walking. As I passed him both days he gets a huuuge smile and gives me two thumbs up. I think I could get used to this daily dose of "You can do it!" from this cute, little, old stranger! It's been absolutely gorgeous running weather this week. I never want it to end! (the weather not the week)

I'm still trying to establish "my morning trail" in my neighborhood...I really want to have a defined running trail with a clear beginning, middle, and end rather than just running aimlessly for 45 minutes. I like knowing "ok..this is the halfway point..and I know what lies ahead of me" I ran 22 minutes out over to the Brooklyn/Queens Parkway, but for some reason it went so much rather coming back and I was home sooner than I wanted to be..so I just kind of weaved in and out of the streets by our house for 5 minutes. I'll plan accordingly to that for tomorrow's run, but all in all I liked this better than my run on Friday.

weight watchers calculator

I haven't been running this is so bad!! i will start up again, I will start up again!

Ok I'm hard core gonna get back to weight watchers for the summer.
I am allowed 20 points a day with 35 flex points per week. This week, I will save my flex points for Saturday, because I am going to a picnic. This is a lifesaver. With all the ways you are able to get points for food online..there is no reason to pay weight watchers anymore for their materials!

Ran in Central Park again....really wanted to do the whole 6 mile loop...but I guess that was too ambitious for this morning. It was pretty humid, and by the 5th mile, my stomach was really not feeling well from dehydration, so I walked the last 6th mile back to the gym. Oh well...still a pretty good Tues. morning run.

Ran at home today before coming into work!I didn't have time/didn't feel like packing my backpack last night. Plus I'm working at an event at the NY Public library tonight and didn't want to have my big backpack with me. It's finally sunny and warm enough out in the am's for me to have my morning runs at home! It felt really great! I was totally ready to do 5 miles..but my stomach got really grumbly after 45 minutes and I just couldn't do anymore. So 4.5 miles for me!
