45 minutes on the elliptical.  Good workout. Machine said I burned 1000 calories, but I have since learned they arent so accurate.  Oh well

Hadnt ran since friday, so it was definately time.  I went the same loop I did with my dad on friday, but added another 1 mile loop around the school.  The weather was 40 ish and it was absolutely perfect for a run.  

Felt good and strong and actually enjoyed one or two of the hills.  Not normal for me.

2 miles of walking with 200 lunges.  Walked around the school twice.  There is a really big hill that Joni and I walked partially up last week that I would like to do more of sometime, but not enough time today.  I keep sleeping in.

I ran the same loop as tuesday.  I felt good and strong and even felt a few rain drops.  Some good hills, which i actually like sometimes.

2 times around the school with 200 lunges.  It was a bit cooler this morning, but felt good to get up and go, as always.

Great run this morning with my dad and brother in law Jason in Camas/Vancouver Washington.  I had never run with Jas before so that was fun.  We ran at around an 8:40 ish pace, and I think even a couple of the miles faster than that.  Felt way good and happy to run with a new person.
