Tonight's Workout (1/25/05)

Really Good.

I finally made it back on the treadmill. I almost didn't because I didn't think I was feeling up to it. But after 10 minutes on the elliptical I said what the hell and I had a really good run. And guess what... NO SHIN SPLINTS!!

Lots of Stretching

I did longer intervals of running followed by shorter recovery walks. The distance would have been farther if I didn't pause to stretch halfway through. I could have stayed on the treadmill a lot longer, but I need to stop at the grocery store before going home and it was already pretty late when I got to the gym.

Today I went out to lunch. I usually eat my frozen meal, w/yogurt, pretzels and diet soda at my desk. But they were having this team lunch thing and I didn't want to seem unteam-like. So I went because I don't get out much anyway. We went to the Mongolian Barbecue which is a place where you put raw meat, vegetables and sauce in a bowl and they cook it for you on a big grill. It came out really good. It was low in fat and high in veggies and protein. So, this won't be on my list tonight.

Things I shouldn't have eaten today:
- Club Crackers w/ Swiss Cheese (I didn't see that coming)
- 1 Spring Roll (I couldn't resist)
- Sugar on my Corn Flakes (6-7 tsp = 90-105 calories. I can't obsess over this)
- Celest Pepperoni Pizza for One

I'm back in the gym tomorrow. It's a toss up between step class and running again. So, the betting window is now open.

- Later Alligator
