Goal - burn off some of the pie I ate for breakfast and stuffing I ate for lunch and snack. :-)  I don't really care for the other thanksgiving stuff, but stuffing and dessert, I can't resist.

AM - 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, then we had to run off to take MIL to the dentist (she lost a tooth last night!) and out to a little Black Friday shopping.

PM - 60 minutes on the recumbent bike, stopped after 20 and 40 minutes to do squats, lunges, etc.  After 60 minutes walked 1 barefoot mile on the TM.  It was irritating the bottom of my feet like TM burn.

Yay for 4-day weekends.  They are the best.

Yeah I don't know how people run barefoot on the TM. Can you try it with socks?

How is the barefoot running? Does it make your feet sore?

Happy happy 4- day weekend!!!!!!
