No Runners High Yet......but

I love exercising outside and I love exercising with my husband. One of the things I always didn't like about the "Biggest Looser" program was that the exercising did not seem fun.  The trainers seem to really make it hard and although I can see having the determination to to finish the program, I don't see why anyone would love to do it and want to do it on their own.  It looks hard and miserable.   

So if I can find a program that I make time to do and show up every time, I think it's defiitely more doable.

Tuesday and Thursday nights this week we were treated to the most awesome the sunsets at Huntington Beach while running along the beach path.  Then this morning we met at Edison Community Park  and ran to the beach and had the best sunrise.   Can it get much better than that? 

We are doing 2-3's which is 3 minutes of walking and 2 minutes of running for 35 minutes.   It seems so easy.  I love being outside to exercise and being with Steve.  He is not having any of the initial running issues (calf and shin pain) he was having before.   We do a warm up before and stretching after.  

This morning Daytona came with us.  She also loved being outside and included.  She even can hear our watches when they beep, so she knows when it's time to run versus walk.  The only thing is she wants to be with both Steve and I and although we walk together, with Steve's long legs he ends up striding away from me during the run portions of our intervals. So when Steve had her she dragged wanting to be back with me.  When I had her she towed me like she was a sled dog.

After our run we had a yoga clinic to learn some additional stretches.   Looking forward to the next workout.
