45 minutes without stopping!

On Monday, I ran for 45 minutes on the treadmill. Just increased the speed by a 1/10th of a mph from a week ago. Right now I am in Barrow and debating whether or not to go for a walk (since I really don't feel well). Yesterday, the clinic gave me three shots and it has really made me drag last night. I tried walking on the treadmill but after only a 1/2 mile, I was done. We have a two day meeting starting at 8:00 am tomorrow so I don't know how much exercise I'll get later on.

No motivation

Did a bit of walking today as well as ran a couple of miles on the treadmill. I'm still managing well more than 10k steps per day but I've noticed that I haven't been maintaining the same pace as when the StartWalking program was in place without the website to log steps. I have started logging miles on the Nike+ site but only actual exercise sessions not the day-to-day walking. I guess it has got me to try running since it shows information such as fastest mile, 5k, etc. That pushes me to try upping the treadmill speed a little each time. I'm running about over 100 miles/month so maybe I'll be able to run some 10k's next summer. Now that would really be an accomplishment!

Back in Fairbanks

After a lot of time sitting in airports and on planes yesterday, we are back home. My son, Kyle, did well in Ottawa at the Open North American coming home with a 1st in patterns and a 2nd in sparring. It seems like a long way to go for a tournament but I guess international experience is part of the advancement process and I think he both enjoyed it and learned a lot. I did get some jogging in using the treadmill at the hotel as well as walking during the layover at the Chicago airport. I didn't walk all of the terminals but did manage about 5 miles. I'm still amazed at the size of O'Hare.

I didn't get much walking in today. I ran on the treadmill for a couple of miles this evening but really felt run down. Too much sitting around today plus I didn't get home last night until almost 2:00am.

Waiting in Chicago

I arrived at the Chicago airport at 12:15 this afternoon. My son, Kyle, is arriving at 6:30 pm from Fairbanks and we are continuing on to Ottawa, ON at 9:00 or so this evening. Suffice to say that I have a lot of time in the Chicago airport to get some walking in. So far, I've walked 14 miles and I'm taking a break. At least I'm catching up a bit for the last couple of days at the I2 member meeting. Didn't get enough walking in. Yesterday evening was spent at the Shedd Aquarium after spending the afternoon getting blown away with technology at UCSD and SDSC. Must be nice to well funded.

After posting this, I'll wander down to terminal 2 and check the Air Canada status board to at least to see what gate we'll be flying out of. Or maybe, I'll just sit here and wait until my feet don't feel tired anymore.
