Total Distance

7.00

40 min elliptical. 7 miles running.

I have a little rant. Since the weather has taken a turn, it's either been to wet or a little to cold for my comfort to run outside at 6 am. So being inside at the gym more is getting on my nerves. I'm not a fan of the mindless chit chat that goes on. I just like to get it done and get out. Hope that doesn't make me a snob, cause I'm not. I read an article in oxygen magazine that Jamie Eason did, she talks about how she wears a stop watch and times peoples questions or casual chats. She let's them know she is done talking and she is getting back to her set. If she can do it, so can I. LOL

I'm going to runners corner to get some running pants today. Any good suggestions? I threw out my 2 pairs from last fall/winter.

Pants or tights? I really like the 3/4 and full length Mizuno's if you are going for tights.

well either ones, I'll look for those. Thanks Melody! :)

Jamie Eason sounds like a really fun person.

From Lily on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 11:09:10 from 67.199.178.210

LOL, Calvin she's a professional body builder, she makes a living keeping fit. She has to put boundry's on that stuff. You crack me up.

Let me know which ones you get. It's so hard to find pants that aren't too short!

From Lily on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 11:39:14 from 67.199.178.210

Andrea I will definitely have a problem them. I'm 5'10 eek! I'm on a mission though, I'm good at finding what I need. I know athleta.com has long lengths, I may try that.

Check these ones out Andrea: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=71295&vid=1&pid=879583&mlink=46650,3798939,HPWind9_27&clink=3798939

LOL!! You crack me up. I just started going to the gym and I am starting to see what you mean. I have a very limited amount of time in the mornings to get my exercise in and I like to maximize that time!

I got some Nike ones that Allie suggested last year. I really like them. They are called cold weather running pants. When It's really cold I layer them over tights.

I think people at the gym hated me for the longest time because I HATE chit chat. Don't get me wrong. I like to say hi and such but sitting and talking absolutely makes me crazy.

I hate the treadmill lately too. Let me know if you want to run outside anytime Lily and I will run with you. I just get nervous running alone in the dark and cold!

Oh also check out runningwarehouse.com. They have some great clearence deals on tights.

great elliptical/run combo!

i just wear snow pants in the winter.

perhaps I will see at Runners Corner. I am going at 445pm after I drop my daughter at soccer practice. I love their new place!!! ps I really love when people come up to you as you are going all out on the TM and think you are ready to "catch up" on life. Luckily now I go at earlier hours so barely anyone notices me. SNOB. That's me. Not really. Just want to be done already in my own little world.

From RAD on Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 17:43:23 from 76.27.16.189

Depends on my mood whether I'm ready for chit chat or not at the gym. I'm usually solo on the TM though, and rarely catch people in the weights so usually not a problem for me. If you just keep moving and working out while they talk, I think they'll get the idea.

I'm hating this cold weather too - I'm a pansy!

It looks as though, Lily is not only popular at the gym but here as well. Who needs to chit chat when we've got FRB?!?!? Work, post---then play. ;)

Agree with Kira!

If you don't want to talk to people at the gym, just wear headphones. Even if you aren't listening to music, you can still ignore everybody and they'll just think you can't hear them. That way you're not a snob; you are just "rockin' out".
