2 MONTHS TO GO!--um, yesterday

I had a grand plan to post a motivational "2 months to go!" message but then looked at the calendar and realized that the day came and passed yesterday. So. 2 months. Move it!

Still sore from kickboxing, I took 2 Advil and a banana before my run this morning. I intended to run 4 miles, but then songs kept coming on the radio that I wanted to hear ("Tic Toc" and "Telephone"!) so then I ran up and down the sidewalk in front of our apartment building. Beyonce ripped my heart out with "Halo" and I almost started to cry but then recovered when Young Money's "Bedrock" (grossest song ever?) followed. Ah, Mr. Flintstone... All told, 5.73 more miles under my belt.

I'm off to get Dunkin' Donuts.

Did you say FREE???

yes you heard me right... i got a free family membership to elite fitness thru the Wave! It is an awesome fitness club with many classes to choose from! i am sooooo excited to get started! i dont know what i will do first, a yoga class during lunch? palites for runners? TRX Suspension Group training (this one looks awesome)! of course i have to go thru my evaluation and orientation before starting, but so looking forward to it. only one thing lacking.... my coffee wont be waiting for me when i get home...

Cardio Kickboxing+Tracy=Disaster

I thought it would be a good idea to try a cardio kickboxing class at my gym this morning. I was wrong. So wrong. I am so very uncoordinated, so very clumsy. It was a good, high impact workout but man alive, did I look like a fool. Will I go back? Of course, if only because when I came home the coffee had been made and was waiting for me.

A terrible, terrible mistake has been made.

Look, I'm not perfect. I made a mistake. A terrible mistake that warrants expletives. Today I figured out how to use the radio tuner on my iPod while the Nike+ is recording distance. Pretty awesome, huh? So I was running along to boring interviews on Saturday NPR (Does no news happen on the weekends? This is what NPR leads me to believe.) and then, bam, I'm listening to this and CANNOT CHANGE THE STATION MID-WORKOUT.

You cannot imagine how horrible running the final 2.5 miles (of 7.3 miles! Woot! Woot!) listening to Garrison Keillor sing a song about Seattle is. Please, don't imagine it. Save yourself.

But HERE is a video that has nothing to do with running and everything to do with cutest kid ever:

Elliptical (50 minutes while watching MTV's MADE) due to knee pain and then coffee in the bath. Aaaah.

100K!

I have a confession. Truly. Are you ready? I'm awesome. There. Now the world knows. And you, too.

Today my total distance accumulated passed 100K, thanks to a 5 mile run (south to the Point and The Museum of Science and Industry--which we will be visiting later after the sleepy heads in the next rooms wake up!) in drizzle. I hit my alarm multiple (ahem, 5) times before getting out of bed to run but now feel great. Returned home with coffee and drank it in the bath while reading. Fantastic morning.

I had to run this afternoon, if only because my lunch consisted of a milkshake and onion rings. 6K in the sun! Lots of bikers along the trail. Lesson: I need to buy new running bottoms to fit my non-existant ass.
