FRIDAY exercise!
Yep.. I said it.. it's Friday and I'm sick, but I still got my butt out there and did something.. I'm sure I'll regret it later.
Just got back from week 1 day 3 of couch to 5K training. Found a podcast with music I liked and it includes the person telling you when to switch from jogging to walking. I decided I would try to do this outside in my parking lot. Well, found out that my parking lot is great for training.. tough, but great. There are little inclines and straight passes and down hill sections. PLUS the freakin' cold and wind made it more of a workout today, too.
I can't believe I was able to do that!! It seemed so easy on the treadmill, but outside..very different!
who else is moving today?

I don't usually post on the exercise forum, but I need to do better about getting and keeping my butt moving. My plan is to get on the treadmill after work and do a workout similar to what I did yesterday. I'll walk for a bit, then alternate walking and running. Yesterday I walked for 2 minutes, then ran for 1 minute. Did that for about 15 minutes. It was a great workout.

Yah - running OUTSIDE today would be a challenge!!!
Had great plans - bag packed and everything. Hubby nudged me this morning and said "aren't you going to work?" ... looked at the clock and it was already well after 7. Clock didn't go off. So, no, I didn't get my butt to the gym this morning. Sigh.
Will be running around too much to do it later so will do a longer-than-usual workout tomorrow morning, unless I motivate myself to go run the 5K tomorrow. Still coughing so will depend largely on weather, I think. We'll see. I may just wait until spring to do a "real" race.
Looking forward to seeing you tonight, Lisa!!!

It was so great to see you tonight and to finally meet Eddie. Can I just tell you how freakin' amazing you looked tonight!!! You are such a beautiful woman inside and out!!!
Did you like the sushi place? I thought it was really good, but I was sooo not happy about the wait. We went to the other cool shops and then went over to Starters so Risa and Sarah could get a drink and I could get coffee. After we got done there, it was 11 by the time we got back to Sarah's house. Siehara was even sleeping on the sofa when we got there.
I don't think I'll make it to Barix seeing that I am still up. I'm going to need a nap in the afternoon to keep an eye on Siehara and her friend tomorrow night during their sleepover.
See you at Liz's and your jewelry is beautiful!! I LOVE the cuffs, especially the ones with the chinese on them.. I may have to buy myself a present soon!!

Lisa,
I was so happy to see you, too... and to meet your friends. They seem like great people and a lot of fun.
The sushi was tasty and the price wasn't bad, but we basically missed most of the opening, which had me on edge the whole time. I was really hoping to run in and get a QUICK but healthy dinner. And I felt bad for Eddie - he hadn't eaten anything all day other than a slice of pizza and was feeling like he was going to pass out from hunger... that's why we jumped in when they asked if there were any parties of 2... He was just about under the table by the time his salad even came! Ah well. Better planning next time.
Any time you want a cuff, just let me know... and let me know if there's something specific you want it to say. Each of those has a message like "Be * Believe" or "Live * Love" ... as long as I can find the kanji for it, I can do it...and will give you my "friends" price, of course ;-).
See you at Liz's! enjoy your nap!
