Since the last time I ran was last Thursday, I made it a priority to run at lunchtime on the treadmill as it was yet once again, raining. Whenever I don’t run for a few days, the beginning of a run is not fun for me. But I was able to do 3.26 miles in 39:39 minutes, including my warm up/cool down walks. I ran it at a 3% incline (sometimes lowering it to 2.5). But it felt good.
Still feeling a little blah but watched Glee – can’t believe Rachel did that! Or Coach Beestie! I did however fall asleep at the end of the eliminations on Dancing with the Stars…didn’t miss much – huh?

Went down to the gym at lunchtime – and did some cross-training. Most exciting thing of the day? The Dr. Oz giveaway. Since I just got the Keurig Vue – I wanted the Soda maker. I was able to get on – but I was using Internet Explorer and I couldn’t see the form L After some research on the internet, I noticed that people were suggesting using Google Chrome – don’t have, but I do have Mozilla Firefox – so I used that and I was able to submit a form for the pillow. Then I tried for the Sony Walkman – got the form, filled it out and then got the message that they were all gone. I really dislike that they allowed people to win one in each category, but their party, their rules. Did I win the pillow? Maybe – will keep an eye on my mailbox at home and emails. Some fun giveaways going on in the running community – my wish list of things to win: Garmin watch, some compression socks, How to Train Like a Mother book, a Sparkle Skirt, bib holder and last, but not least, an entry to a Disney race. In the meantime, am reading some very fun and interesting blogs and learning more about running each day.
