Beautiful run on the beach this morning with Cooper.  My stomach is kind of hating me for my weekend of bad eating (I'm not going to say indulgence because we didn't really eat anything good), and I'm sure the scale will too.  Need to have a veggie detox tomorrow.

Justin made homemade pizza again. :-)  I am one lucky (too full!, there goes the veggie fast!) girl.  

About 30 minutes of Legs & Back X, before my computer battery died and my legs were shaking so bad that I didn't even bother plugging it in.  I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

Decided randomly to make this my long run of the week, since we're headed to Vegas tomorrow night (Woohoo!), and running around the strip is just terrible (really trafficky streets, dusty/exhausty, dangerous, blah).  Ran 1.76 before Lisa and Anya showed up, then around Game Farm with them.  The last few miles I was definitely feeling it, which is where those 8's came from!  That was no easy run.  My legs are so tight from yesterday as well.

Afterwards about 20 minutes of pathetic tennis with J.  My legs are soooo tight now.

32 minutes on the elliptical, 2.74 miles. 

Later - an hour of pole dancing class.  Yep, you read that right.  For a bachelorette party, embarrassing!!!  But fun to swing around on it. :-)
