I was going to venture off the treadmill for the second time this week but it just looked super slick and icy everywhere still.  Decided one more day on the treadmill was okay.  I downloaded some new songs for my iPod before heading to FAC to help mix things up a bit.  

20 minute warm up, stretching, strides

6X3 minutes at 5:45-5:50 pace with 90 seconds easy between each.  

10 minute cool down 

Felt pretty fabulous!  I'm really pleased with how well my legs have recovered!!

For our date night tonight, Aaron and I are shopping for a new mattress.  You all would be disgusted if you knew how old our current mattress is.  In fact, I don't even know how old it is.  Quite possibly older than me....it was a hand-me-down.  Gross, I know.  It has served us well and now its time for it to hit the curb.  Anyone have a brand of mattress they love and would recommend?  I'm pretty enticed by the Tempupedic.  I mean, who wouldn't be enticed by by THIS..

I've heard that Tempurpedic is good. I recommend Costco for whatever you decide - once I had a perfect mattress for about two years, and then when I got married it didn't work because there was a little dip where I had always slept. Costco took it back, and six months later they took back the one we had replaced it with because it was sucking us both into the middle. Maybe that makes it sound like Costco sells mattresses that don't hold their shape. But really it's a story about how no where else would have such a good return policy.

Catherine - I didn't know you and Faceless Ghost were married.

Nan - I don't think your mattress could be as old as my toothbrush.

Burt - yes, we've always been married. At least since he started running.

I was just joking. I wanted you to think that I thought you had concieved out of wedlock. I'm a punk like that.

Punk.

Now I know that your standards are high because you wouldn't marry him 'til he started running :)

Oh Nan, did you see the Kirby Heyborne commercial last night during the Superbowl? What's wrong with that guy???
