Okay, so today it's like 20 C here, hot, sunny waaaay too nice to do cardio in the gym, so we decide to hit the trail and try our hand at outside running...we borrowed the stopwatch from Linden, just so we didn't accidentally run for too long...and I borrowed a water bottle from Lynn, cuz apparently when Mark was looking all over for a water bottle to take on his bike ride, it didn't occur to me that my bottle was in the other vehicle NOT in my gym bag....argh.
So off we head, uphill. Just for the record, I NEVER put any incline on the treadmill, cuz its a lot harder apparently...as we make the corner heading towards the trail, we are in the midst of a high school gym class...can this get any better??? We're doing our walk-runs and it was really hard. Did I mention that? One time as we were doing our transition from walk to run, both of us still had the tops off our water and were pouring water all over the place, good grief...I guess we still need to work on the looking-cool-while-we-run-part...
On our way back, we took a little side trip into the Bargain Shop to look at some clothes...FOCUS!!! Okay, back on track, we get to the gym and something happens...all of a sudden the thought of doing the rest of our workout just doesn't seem like an option anymore...next thing ya know, we're saying so long to Linden and heading down to the "Rookies"patio for a 4 months of working out celebratory beer...I still had to get the kids from school which was probably a good thing, cuz I could seriously see a runaway train heading our way! Too funny!
Can we do anything inconspicuously? Hardly. As I'm paying with my debit card, Lynn was chatting with the gal there, and talking about entering the radio contest for a trip to Vegas...she goes to grab a pen out of what she thinks is a pen jar, only too bad for her, cuz it's actually a melty wax smelly pot type o' thing and she gets hot wax all over her!!! We get through that (easier for me cuz I didn't actually burn MY hand...) and we start to leave, but my debit didn't complete...3 more tries, the line is down...good grief. Lynn says she's got some cash and will come back so we walk the 3 blocks to our cars, blistered from the burn, sore from running but still feeling pretty darn good about the day...
Could this be our NEW routine??? Uh oh.
Oh ya, and I even got a little bit of a tan sitting out there...
