on my log

how sick is it that I am excited to have a measly blechy green (because that's the color I designated for treadmill running) bar with a measly distance in my log? I just hope things carry on and I'll be back to running - I've been scolded around the block and back again to make sure I x-train this time - doing other things than just running for my aerobic exercise. No pool running here (un)fortunately as the deepest part of the pool at the gym is only 4 ft deep. I can do the stepmill or the stairmaster, a variety of ellipticals, stationary bike and row....course the only machine I hate more than the dreadmill is probably the rowing machine - mostly because I suspect I have awful form and I get bored even faster on that machine than on the treadmill...doesn't help that it's in the corner on the floor, so I can't see any TV or anything...

Guess that shows where my mind is.

LOL now now, how does that kind of bar fit into health and nutrition? Wink

I guess it fits kinda since a glass a day is supposed to be good for you....right Big grin

The PT says I am to continue with the interval running on the TM, and I still have some new orthotics coming in in a few weeks. I sure hope this brings me back into the running fold. It's been almost three months since I got derailed...but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. I still have 2 races on the books for next season (since races are typically in the winter) - plenty of time to get a base built back up!

Yes -- other bars are sucked in by its gravitational pull. Clowning around

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

So bad... But that bar could kick my bars' asses. Either that or that bar could sit on my bars and make them say 'uncle'. Wink

The bar is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to that bar. Apologies to Douglas Adams...

Instead of "yo' mama" jokes we could have "yo' bar" jokes. Yo' bar is SO big...[insert punchline] Tongue
