I had my first successful day at our gym! I got on this awesome bike machine and it had it's own video screen. You pick the course and how fast you want your pacer to go, and it looks like you are riding through the woods on a pretty, very hilly trail! It was so neat. I finished a 4.01 mile course in a little under 18 minutes... I have no idea what that means. It also said my heart rate was up to 185, but I have no idea if that's a reasonable heart rate or anything. I would have like to have done another so I could stay on longer but my legs were killing me and I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest! It was neat to get such a hard work out in without running, I could barely walk down the steps! You can create an account so you can actually race yourself later on. I didn't make my account until after though so that ride didn't save :( But I look forward to doing that like once every week as a cross training work out!

Oh, then I jogged half a mile back to my office so I decided to put that in there, haha. Why not! Hopefully my legs aren't too sore for my long run tomorrow! At least I'm only doing about 15.

Back to doing school work :( What a stinky way to spend a Friday night.

Nice 0.5 mile run Kelsey, lol! Let me know how your marathon goes... hopefully we'll see each other at Boston. I have school work too, ugh. Good luck with Long tomorrow.

Haha thanks, I was pretty proud. I really hope I get to Boston to meet everyone I have met on here! My advisor told me that my running "worries him." Basically he is mad that I do something outside of school, which of course made me mad! It actually motivated me to dedicate more of my time to running so that I can get even better and keep telling him about it :) Plus, running isn't making me choose, he is.

You know Im surprised at the fact that they havnt come up with a treadmill screen simulation yet. It would be fun as heck! I do know of workouts from your home on a treadmill that you can connect to other people on their treadmills though. Nice workout!
