Bike
  • 45m
  • 10.81 miles

Trainer ride - Garmin was low battery so I rode naked. Well, ok, not NAKED naked, just without HR. Found out that I'm really tied to my HR on the trainer.

Run
  • 15m
  • 1.50 miles
  • 10m /Mi

Brick run on the treadmill. Without my HR monitor I was able to run at 6mph just fine. Of course, it was only 15 minutes, but it felt good.

I am so thankful that I finally started working out those few years ago.  It is such a huge stress management thing.  I got home, one daughter told me I looked like a nun, then she told me how she's upset with one of her teachers because he won't jump through hoops to register her late work before the holiday.  Of course, that's not how she said it, she said that 'he won't even tryyyyyyy'.  We had the discussion about how people have lives outside the time she sees them and about how 'a mistake on your part doesn't mean an emergency on my part.'  Again.  Ah well, I love her to death, she was just having a tough day.

Run
  • 50m
  • 5.00 miles
  • 10m /Mi

Midday run from work in the ick. Snow on the ground, some weird stuff falling out of the skythat hissed as it hit the snow - but it was fun to be out in it instead of at my desk. I didn't see any other runners out.

Remembered everything except my Garmin so time and distance are estimated.

Troublebuggy the baddog just pulled my coffee off the counter, spilled it and broke my favorite cup.  Who knew he liked coffee?

December 11

Run
  • 1h 18m
  • 7.70 miles
  • 10m 07s /Mi

Cold run in the dark - left with the 10-minute rule figuring I'd be more likely to finish my run in the cold and dark than on the treadmill. I guess I was right.

The "It Figures" story of the day:  I needed a quarter for the machine in the ladies room, so I looked in my desk as usual - no quarter.  Ok, out comes the purse, dug through it with increasing levels of nervousness - no quarter.  Also no ones - I had a brilliant idea to use a $1 bill in the soda machine to get a quarter's change...no dice.  Asked the older gentleman in my office for change for a five - nope - but he did loan me a dollar.  Ah-ha!  Off to the Pepsi machine, Pepsi purchased and quarter firmly in hand.  Got to The Machine to insert my hard-earned quarter, said a silent "Oh Please" as I turned the knob (because you know sometimes it doesn't work) and was rewarded by the thunk of the little cardboard tube.  Triumphantly paraded it into the stall, sat down and discovered that the tube was EMPTY.....   Yell 

BTW, I think chlorine is medicinal.  I feel much better this morning after swimming last night.
