Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  My busy work scheduled continued today in that I flew out to Charlotte in the mid-afternoon; however, I was able to catch the second half of The Big Game from my hotel’s gym.  Having not run all day, when checking into the Marriot I asked the receptionist where the gym was located; therefore, from this question and from all the running gear that I was wearing, he directed me to the stairs instead of the elevator so I could get in an extra workout while checking into my room.  Now that is service!  Needless to say, I dropped my bags in my room and headed back down the stairs to the gym.  I stuck to the elliptical machine for this workout and was able to get in 25.1 miles while watching the Packers triumph over the Steelers and the numerous post-game shows (in total, the workout lasted 3:53.08).

Before leaving for Charlotte, I was able to get in my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  2:00 (working my way back into plank shape)

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  serving of mixed fruit, a fruit smoothie, and a bowl of whole-wheat rice

25.1 miles on the elliptical?? You are a beast!

Thanks Benn! Yeah, 25.1 miles on the elliptical was not too boring since the Super Bowl was on.
