Gym training

Today, I trained indoors.  It was supposed to be a speed training day but I didn’t escape work until 5:25.  By that time darkness was quickly approaching and I had not had a chance to check on Isabella -so, I headed home and let her out and hung out with her for about twenty minutes.  By the time I left my house it was already dark.

I simply did not feel like running in the dark -especially, speed training.  So, I headed to the gym and got on a stationary bike for 30 minutes.  Afterwards, i quickly jumped on an eliptical trainer for another 30.  I couldn’t get myself on a treadmill.  I truly loathe treadmills.  Treadmills are like the work of the devil, I think.  Actually, I bet hell is full of treadmills.  There are treadmills there as far as the eye can see.  And, they are all on fire.  And, there are hundreds of zombies behind me on the treadmills trying to catch me and eat my hellenized brains.  I’m sure of it.

Do you like that video of me on a stationary bike?  Yeah, that’s me for real.  I had the eye of the tiger.  It was cool.  It was fun.  But, in the end, I wish I had been running out doors.

After my little spin, I cleaned up my sweaty mess off of the bike and got on the eliptical.  I like the eliptical.  Its cool.  And, before you know it, thirty minutes have passed and I’m still rearing to go on.  I didn’t go on, though.  I had to run to the grocery store for a few essentials – bananas, cauliflower, salad, eggs & wine.

Ok, here’s a special treat for you…the last 30 seconds or so of me on the eliptical.  Don’t you feel special?  Everything I do, I do it for you…just like Bryan Adams says.

Tomorrow, I will leave work on time and will run out doors and, will speed train.  period. period. ok. period…

Moving right along…

Wildlife inventory:

• Oh, there is no wildlife inventory.  I was indoors.  Sorry about that.

Here’s a picture, though, of the very bright full moon shooting a very strong light through the leaves of a tree in the Publix grocery store parking lot.

That was a very bright and beautiful moon.  The moon is made of manchego cheese, you know.  Its true.  That’s why I’m going to the moon one day.  Yes, that’s true.  I’m going to the moon to eat manchego cheese and establish the world’s first marathon on the moon.  Or, the moon’s first marathon.  Tell your friends all about it…Moon Marathon…”its outta this world!”  That will be my slogan.  The entry fee is only $45.00 and you get a free shirt.  And, a bag of cheese.

I did 11.18 miles on the stationary bike and 3 miles on the eliptical.

Thanks for taking the time to read my running/biking/eliptical blog.

Have a great week.

Go out and run.

Love, peace & bananas…and manchego
