Total Distance

0.00

I was totally feelin' like a lazy bum content to watch trashy tv off the dvr (aka jersey shore) but I finally forced myself to the gym around 8pm (yeah yeah yeah, I go to the gym at 8pm on a Friday night, well now at 9:30pm I'm going to transcribe some interviews, so take that for fun weekend fun!). Felt sluggish and so full from dinner, but I listened to Born to Run and read race reports until my phone died and was quite content on the elliptical. After that there was no going on without the entertainment though, so I rounded it out at an even 50 minutes and quit.

I have a fun Valentine's Day surprise day o' fun planned for tomorrow (lucky for me I don't think my husband has ever read my blog so no risk there!), hope everything works out that I've got planned! :-)

Good for you Nicole, that you are still going out there and working out even if in a gym. I am glad to hear you are recovering better and sounds like you are on your way to the 10K. I hope your trainning continues to go better. Miss running with all 3 of us. What about next weekend, we could all do a long run?
