Thanks to the Presidents!

Thanks to the Presidents the gym that I go to work out was closed today. So how was I supposed to work out? I have had pain in my left knee for the longest time. So I have enjoyed the non impact of an eliptical machine. I didn't feel that I was up to walking much and especially not up to any kind of running. I needed some kind of work out though or it would be 2 days without working out. I feel bad if that happens. Weird to think that something like that is beginning to bug me but it does.

So in a light drizzle I put on a hooded sweatshirt and headed out for a walk / run. I got about 200 yards out and realized something - I forgot my I pod - so I headed back home to get it. Carley was a little disappointed to see me back so soon. She was like " you are back already?" I have to say that the music makes any workout much better. I went for about 5 miles and my knee handled it much better than I thought it would. I do feel more encouraged now and more hopeful for the triathlon that I will be doing in April. I can't truly call it a triathlon because it is a team thing where I am only running a 5k. But even that will feel like an accomplishment.

Today I had some raisin bran for breakfast. A chicken sandwich for lunch. A yogurt for my after workout snack. (the yogurt was 80 calories and fat free but delicious!)

Tomorrow is the day I weigh in and I hope to get a good number. I will go workout in the morning then weigh in. Good luck Grayson!
