Cardio and Abs
This morning I hit the gym for 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical trainer and around 30 minutes of abs. Since on vacation I have had two days where I did two workouts in a day. Yesterday, I just got the urge to run in the evening. Maybe it was the bowful of While Cheddar Cheese-Its or that I had been inside for most of the day cleaning–I don’t know. But I had a surge of energy that had me in my running shoes and out of the door when my husband came home from work. I was straight up running. I made it about 2/3 of the way around the lake (about 2 miles) when I crashed. I had to stop and tie my shoe, then I just couldn’t recover after that. I just walked the last mile, watched the day become dusk, then night (beautiful, but I really needed to get my butt home at that point. I am not one of those running in the dark alone women, but there I was in the dark, walking alone), and enjoying the brisk night air. I was just really appreciative of my health at that point and so happy that I have finally gotten to the point whenre this is a part of my life. I can say that I am a fitness enthusiast.
My daughter, who will be 4 in January, has discovered and is thoroughly engrossed with New Edition. One of her favorite songs, right now, is Cool It Now. My husband and I Youtubed a bunch of old videos and they are hilarious. I don’t remember them being that funny. Maybe because at the time I was a youngster and living the lyrics. LOL. I love the way that Ralph Trevant acts out every single word.

I’ve been there before too. I took off on a training run of about 5 miles and when I hit my turnaround I stopped in the bushes to pee, and low and behold.. I hit THE WALL. I ended up walking the remaining 2.5 miles home in pitch black darkness out in the middle of the country.. only a dirt road as my guide..
