Yes, the temp dropped fast in Houston. Even so, Mom’s response was a bit dramatic. At 52 degrees Farenheit, this is how she thought she needed to dress to walk the dogs in the backyard for less than 10 minutes. I do believe she has spent too much time in the Caribbean.

Cold air helped!! 🥶🏃♀️😁 Also, took a few days to get 10+ hours of sleep.
I jogged 1km without walking for the first time since my reboot. And I managed to get 4km into my daily 30min run. After that is me walking to cool down each day. The goal is 5km in 30min before its too hot to run in Houston.

Me and my parents on St. Croix 1990. I was deliriously sick with dengue in this photo. After sleeping for 4 days, my dad forced me to go outside for a photo and some sun. I needed help to stand up and was leaning against my mom for balance.

After feasting on Red Snapper yesterday, we had the traditional turkey dinner at home today. And then went Black Friday shopping. I barely made it out to run, but I made it. And tonight my neighborhood was lit up with xmas lights! What a reward!

And yes, I did manage to get my run in today. Was a little rough running after the big meal. 🍽️ 🦃 🐟
I know turkey is traditional, but I stuffed myself full of delicious red snapper instead. There will be turkey tomorrow. And hopefully some apple pie, too! 😉

Had to cut 10 minutes off the run tonight and skipped the cool down. 😒 didn’t keep the first km below 7 minutes, either. 😞 I was keeping it chill to avoid leg cramps to continue daily runs to build endurance.
The good stuff - look at my power: 120 is back!!!! 😃

Managed to repeat that <7 min km 👍 and then leg cramps began to settle in during the second km, so I walked the rest. Gotta be able to show up tomorrow, so needed to listen and slow it down. Baloo was here for a snuggle at the end.

My first km in less than 7 min! Progress! I’d feel better if it was a minute less. A little stronger, a little better every day.

Starting the day with a run makes me feel accomplished even before I begin the day’s fights.

Eek! My power is coming back!!! 🏃
I admitted to myself that I can’t run like I did 5 years ago and very mindfully cut my stride length in half until I build up my strength in my feet and knees again. It made all the difference and this was the longest distance I could run before having to walk.

My efforts earned me my Veterans Day badge. Go get your 11 minutes of exercise and be sure to get yours, too. There’s still time!

Tonight’s run began by focusing on form, with special attention on landing evenly on my foot, not on my toes. My spine and hips liked this for the first km. In the 2nd km, my left foot reminded me it had been injured a while back. I walked the last 2km.

Today’s cruiseship on the Frederiksted dock is a more common site. Warships in the Caribbean don’t usually come here. I support the boost to business both ships bring to the island. Can’t say I feel the same about killing people on fishing boats with no accountability.

Here we go again! I still have a bit of a cough, but that bug is mostly gone and I am at it again. I am so proud! All 3 km have power over 100! It has been a long climb up from the bottom. Starting to feel half way decent. Still lots more to go! Just a few years ago, I could do a 5K in less than 30.

My husband’s office space is getting a make over. This new rug is the first step and I am in love with Alice in Wonderland feel. Work hard, also never take yourself too seriously. If you do, you sorta miss the point of life.

Today’s run. I am recovering from a virus of some sort and have not been running for a few days. I’m still not completely well and I could only run for 15 minutes, instead of my usual 30 minutes. Oh well. I am working on consistency as much as improving speed. Tomorrow is another day.

Iwo Jima on my pier is surreal. As a teenager, I would race down the length of the pier and fly off the end into the water. Then I would race my friends up the ladder of the small, taller pier at the end and plunge into the water again. I would lie to my parents and say I never got in the water.

Texas just got even more stupid. We voted for Prop 12 that gives the most evil governor in US history control of our state courts.
