trial of miles; miles of trials

Really tough 40-minute aerobic interval workout on our NordicTrack. I wanted to spend a day doing something lower-impact, just to make sure I didn't stress my bones, etc. I was tired afterwards!

Went to soccer, but the girls wimped out on me because it was "cold" and we were "clearly going to lose." So we forfeited and I let A. talk me into going for a beer. Oh well. tomorrow!

A.M.:  woke up super late and decided to just go to the gym and work a half day. I ran 2.55 on the treadmill. Medium.

P.M.:  drove all the way down to South Huntsville to play pickup... but there was no one there. I am going to have to find some Northerners who aren't scared of the cold so I can play soccer all winter. This is just ridiculous. So I went to the Castle and ate chicken and rice soup with my friends. Kind of didn't realize I hadn't eaten all day. S makes the beeesssst chicken and rice so it's all good.

Gym after work. Ran and walked alternately BUT for four miles. It's the first time I've done that since April so I was kind of happy about it.

takin' it easy, treadmill in the basement.

I came up with the best costume ever today: upright bass. Just wear brown, draw on some strings from your toes to your stomach, and draw some cutouts on your stomach... and then whenever anyone asks you what you are, do a handstand. Boom.

Easy. Average pace was slow but I forgot that I walked 2 laps of this (half a mile). It's almost exactly one mile from stop sign to stop sign (the entirety of the runnable area in this "neighborhood") which is on the one hand irritating and on the other hand good for measurement.
