Week 5. Day 3.

After a lazy Friday ...If you call going to Whole Foods for 1.5 hours plus carrying six bags, a laptop, purse, etc up three flights of stairs lazy.  I stocked my fridge with amazingly healthy great things to eat.  One of my new favorite snacks is "Nearly Nake Popcorn w/ a touch of olive oil".  So good! I'm thinking of buying so more bags so I can take it to the movies in the future. 

Anyway enough about food.  The next day I actually got up as promised and went to run.  I was up by 7, in the gym by 7:30.  I did a 35 minute run plus five min on the elliptical.  Well nearly five min, I had to jump off as a guy was coming into the gym, and if I didn't book it he would take the only available treadmill.  I got there before him although he seemed very upset that I took the TM from him.  That was what he appeared to think, but truly I was there first, and first at the gym.  I even had my water bottle on the TM already.  (It's a small gym, w/ three treadmills.  At that time of the morning there were three of us in the gym.  Two people were on the other two treadmills.  So I figured it was safe to use the ellip for a couple of minutes since no one was waiting for the TM.)  That being said if he had been able to make it to the TM before me, I would've given it to him. 

I did Week 5 Day 3.  This run was a straight twenty minute run with five min warmup before and after the run.  I was very optimistic and was encouraged by last few runs.  I'm not quite used to running in the A.M.  I struggled a bit for the first five minutes but the rest of the run was great.  I was focused and was very into my music.  I really love the treadmill I was on.  The sun was streaming in behind me and I could feel the warmth and I was very happy.  I stretched, and left after the run.  After that I collapsed onto my couch with my dog and had delicious 1% chocolate organic valley milk.  From there my weekend began.. with a ka-billion places to go and people to see. 

Week 6 to start on Moday!
