Blah

I really wanted to get my workout done in the morning because it is sooooo nice to just come home and not rush off to the gym after work. And the gym is ickier in the late afternoon. So I made myself get up this morning.

It was one of those workouts that you just do because that's what you do. Though I split it up and I don't usually do that.

15 minutes - Cybex ArcTrainer - interval program, level 4. I used to do this elliptical alot. It is more vertical than the LifeFitness one. But sometimes it bugs my knee, so I decided that if I was going to run more, I would have to lay off this one. But the four working Life ellipticals were taken, dammit. I just felt like sludge on this today, so I decided that I would run on the treadmill for 20 minutes since I had my new shoes and wanted to see how they felt running.

20 minutes - Treadmill - fastest at 6.7, put on .5 % incline for awhile. While I was running I felt OK, especially given that it was early in the morning and I was next to a chick with choking b.o. God, I've never experienced that before. Usually it's big sweaty guys.

Then I was really running late and cranky.

I dorked around on the ball after work for awhile, trying some ab and back exercises. I need to start with the basics apparently.

Then a calzone from Tarantino's, 601 McGee, KCMO ( http://media.pitch.com/739762.0.pdf ). I will plug this place. It has the BEST calzones. I don't care if they are more than 12 points. They are really friendly and even remembered us from the last time we came in, two or three weeks ago. Sadly they were without their liquor license tonight but that is temporary. And it's cheap, especailly without the two beers I would have had ...

Tomorrow - an off day to rest up for Saturday's mudfest in the snow ...

I hope your race goes really well tomorrow!!!! Maybe you should have thought of the calzome as carbo-loading?
