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.

Consecutive day 6 - leg cramps were slowing me down, not inability to breathe. Times are worse, but I feel stronger and cardio health is slowly coming back. Tomorrow will be my rest day. This fun music kept me going. ;-)

Another night run. The sweat glands are finally activating and even the back of my hands were glistening at the end of this run. And for fun, here’s Yona waiting for me to come home and put her to bed. She’s a bit agitated with me for being late.

It was an evening run today. Baloo is the pet that came greeted me for the selfie. Likely, he was ready for bed, but can’t sleep without snuggling me.

Saturday run in the rain. I wanted to sleep longer, but I was afraid the predicted thunderstorm would have me trapped inside all weekend. I am determined to regain my cardio strength! I can’t miss a day!! And of course, Yona was happy to see me back at the house.

I’m currently in a dual scientist/administrator role and today I got to be a scientist at the bench all day. 🧪👩🔬🔬

I ran sans music today. Here’s my smile at the end.
When you are so out of shape, you see big improvements fast. 😂 I still have work to do to reach the fitness level I am accustomed to.

I didn’t protest this weekend, but I damn sure voted and this is what really makes a difference.

Prop12 - NO! Gov Abbott, you don’t get to run our courts. Those are independent entities
Prop 14 - YES! We will fund dementia research

Another day done. My legs were heavy when I started, and exhilarated afterwards. Yona was here to greet me when I showed up all sweaty. 🐾
