Very Hot Out Today

Today was a very hot day. I picked today to be a rest day for myself. But even though it was hot, I thought I would take a bike ride to the kid's daycare and drop some stuff off. So drank 2 glasses of water, filled my bottle with Gatorade and jumped on the bike. I didnt even get to the end of the road and my shirt was soaked. Reese was eating her mac and cheese that I made for her lunch. She was so cute sitting there. So I dropped off all her little snacks, gave her a kiss on the head and went on my way. I was going to see Brady, but I kinda figured he would flip when I left, so I just peeked in and saw him playing.

So after I left Daycare, I went down onto Main Street in Wakefield and sat on a bench under a tree next to the river and ate a powerbar. The vanilla crisp powerbar is actually pretty good!
After that I just took a nice ride thru town, around Old Mountain Field and back to the house. I was well tired after I got back. During the ride, I didn't push myself at all. It was just nice to get out and enjoy the day. Tomorrow its back to the Y!!

I jumped on the scale today and it read something I haven't seen since before I was married, 231.5. Wow! I just feel so good these past couple of weeks. And to see my weight drop to almost 230 is such a confidence boost.

Breakfast: bowl or Wheaties
Snack: Powerbar
Lunch: Roast beef sandwich
Snack: Handfull of peanuts
Supper: Lean Cusine Pizza
Snack: Fat Free Yorgurt

See Ya!

June 26

All night last night I was looking forward to today's workout. Its pretty cool knowing the I can't wait to workout. That might be strange to some people, but working out is fun. I went to the Y early today since Kim was home from work. When I got there I did a quick circuit on the Nautilus equipment and then jumped on the stationary bike for a quick 10 min ride to loosen up. Then jumped on the treadmill for my 2 mile run at a 1.5 incline and 5.6rpms. While running it helps to listen to my mp3 player and watch TV. Keeps my mind off of the running. I think it was last week that I forgot my MP3 player and the only treadmill available was looking out the window and the whole time all I could think about is my breathing, how my knees felt, can I go the distance. It really was a pain!!! Anyways, after the treadmill I jumped on the Eliptical for 4 miles at level 8 for 30 minutes. Overall another great workout!!!!!

I have been thinking about signing up for the Shoreline Biathlon taking place in Westerly, RI. Its a 5 mile run and a 16 mile bike in September. I have my reservations about signing up since it is 5 miles and I haven't even run 3 miles yet. But it is about 3 months away. So I will be thinking about it for the next few weeks. There is another road race I was going to sign up for that takes place at the end of July, the Snug Harbor Celebrate Summer 5K walk/run Road Race. I was thinking that it would be a good test for me to see how well I can run this 5K before the Vegas 5K. I will think about this one also!

Later!
