Total Distance

5.00

Went to the gym to do my run on the treadmill. Went to the 1st treadmill, hung my magazine, put my water bottle in the holder, hung my towel, plugged in my headphones, started the machine...then I realized the belt was broken. So I gathered all my stuff (only 3 out of 20 treadmills are available) moved to another treadmill in a different row. I hung my magazine, put my water bottle in the holder, hung my towel, etc, etc, ... when I pushed the buttons to start nothing happened. The machine was completely dead. Soooo, I moved to the last available machine. This time I tested it before hanging up my magazine, etc. etc. Success! It was my lucky day.

Time flew by as I read my magazine (Literacy Centers for 3rd Grade), and watched "Kardachians" ( I really tried not to watch it but got sucked in).

My goal for tomorrow is 5 miles and some strength and core training.

you are magical...I don't know how you can read while you run on a treadmill. I've never seen the Kardashians, but I wonder if they might be better than our old favorite Hannah Montana from our Sat morning runs at the gym.

I'm glad you got a treadmill. sounds like the weather is keeping a lot of people indoors.

nice job getting your runs in these last 2 days. I know I've got that training guide I need to look at and follow, but I'm avoiding it for now :-)

love the pix!

I really just looked at the pictures in the magazine then daydreamed the rest. I actually got some valuable planning done.

You don't want to watch Kardachians. It's about a bunch of rich, spoiled, celebrities. In this episode, one of the girls posed for Playboy and the big surprise came when mom posed with her.

I can think of other ways to bond with my daughter.

you're right..I wouldn't want to watch that show. immorality running rampant and being portrayed to our youth as something "fun" and "cool."

I wish my kids would run with me. But they are sure it's not "fun" or "cool" to hang with mom.

Good thing I've got roadkill to keep me company!
