November

Day One:  Knee getting better, walked around downtown.
Day Two: nothing.
Day Three: Walked 35 minutes.
Day Four: Walked 67 minutes.  Cleaned the house for about an hour.  It counts!
Day Five:  Recovery day.  Also, got my knee X-rayed -  doctor says it could be cracked.
Day Six: Doctor said yesterday I wasn't ready to be working out yet.
Day Seven: nothing.
Day Eight: Still waiting on X-ray results.
Day Nine: Still waiting.
Day Ten: 5K fundraiser race for the Ellis Malone Foundation.  I wasn't supposed to run it, but I couldn't help myself and ran part of it.  It felt so good to run!  I did the run/walk in about 38 minutes  - within a minute of my first run.
Day Eleven: Worked out in the yard and cleaned house.
Day Twelve: recovery day, Billy out of town and running is hard when he's gone.  Fixed food for a friend's party tomorrow night and had a board meeting.
Day Thirteen: nothing - Billy came home today.
Day Fourteen: nothing.  Had to prepare for another board meeting tomorrow night.
Day Fifteen: Had one board meeting, a Chamber After Hours and a SW Chapter of the MSCPA meeting.  There was really no time for exercise - unless you count running from event to event!
Day Sixteen:  Friday night - family night.
Day Seventeen: Ran with Doozer, 47 minutes.  We're trying to get to 4 miles!
Day Eighteen: Walked to get the Sunday newspaper, took about 40 minutes.  Knee still doesn't bend right for riding the bike.  Then Dooze and I went out for 55 minutes.  We hit 4 miles, but we couldn't run the whole thing.  I wasn't dress correctly and we left at the height of the afternoon instead of waiting for it to cool off a little bit.
Day Nineteen: recovery day.  Two runs over the weekend was a lot for me.
Day Twenty: missed it - had a long annual meeting and then I had to take care of something after the fact.
Day Twenty-one: getting ready for Thanksgiving!
Day Twenty-two: Ran/walked for 51 minutes with Doozer.
Day Twenty-three: Worked out in the yard with Billy
Day Twenty-four: 39 minute run - closing in on 4 miles!
Day Twenty-five: Rode my bike to pick up the newspaper, worked out in the yard with Billy
Day Twenty-six: recovery day
Day Twenty-seven: missed it - very cold and wet and rainy outside.
Day Twenty-eight: I DID IT!  Doozer and I hit the 4 mile mark without stopping or walking!
Day Twenty-nine: REPEAT PERFORMANCE!  Hit 4 miles again, a little slower tonight, but it counts!
Day Thirty: family night at home.

Love, love, love that I have gotten over one of my humps!  I didn't think I would EVER break the 4 mile mark.  Now that I have, I'm convinced I can do anything!
