I took the kids to the dreaded daycare at the gym...luckily there were some kids from our ward in there.  So it made better!

Upper body lifting (one of Kelli's awesome workouts)

4.5 miles on the TM.  I watched some cooking show and watched all the dudes and dollies.  Some gal walked in and every male head turned and watched this beauty.  Amazing!

Since I've increased my mileage (and it hasn't been a ton) and lifting (alittle), I am so darn tired all the time.  I've been eating a lot of stuff with iron, but I am wiped out by the end of the day (some days, I take a short power nap).  A good reason to be tired!

That is why I need to quit my job, I am so tired in the afternoon!

Nice workout! I am glad to see that someone actually reads what i write when I put all of that junk on my blog! But I have to so that i can remember and repeat them!!!!

Nice work hitting the weights as well as the TM. Lifting will really make you tired, but it is soooo good for you. Guys can be pigs sometimes. :)

NICE run and workouts! Glad you had the *good kinda tiredness*. That means you are getting stronger. Keep up the good work!

Good job! That's funny about the girl that everyone looked at. I like to watch for who looks at whom - it's pretty entertaining.
