Ruffly Workout Reward

Remember the incentives I gave myself a few weeks ago to get back into a regular exercise routine?
The first reward was an exercise top for meeting my first week challenge.
For meeting my challenge the second week, I bought this pullover...


I couldn't resist the adorable ruffles on the front sides and on the back...



The sleeves are nice and long...just the way I like.  The back is a bit longer than the front.
That's really nice too.  And, it goes with my new exercise top!
Those challenges and rewards were a great way to get me going!

I didn't reward myself with anything this past week.  It felt so great just to meet my
challenges for three weeks in a row!  I ran/walked over 35 miles in those first three weeks.
My daughter came home from college over the weekend to teach music lessons and we went
for a trail run on Sunday to add a little extra fun to our workout routine.  It was great!

I'm on week four now and have two of my five day minimum workouts done!
I'm running more and more and walking less.  I give myself at least one longer distance day each week.  And, I'm hoping to bring my average pace time down.  My incentive now is a 5K in March!
Oh, yeah.....and, I still try to go to the gym at least twice a week with my hubby to lift weights.
Trying hard to keep it up!    Yeeeha!  :-D
