Headed to the gym today. I warmed up on the bike for 5 minutes--2 miles. Then Hector worked my arms and core. He really worked my arms, at one point I told him that I'd probably hate him tomorrow! It was good, he worked me.

Then I did 4 miles on the eliptical with the resistance set at 15 and the incline at 6. I got 500 calories out of that and finished in 50 minutes.

I picked up my race packet for the 5K on Thursday. It was quite annoying that the only size for the shirts that were left was a 2XL. It's enormous, I could have a party in this shirt! They said I could try to exchange it on Thursday, they may have more shirts then.

The good news is that with my Fleet Feet rewards, I got The Stick. What is The Stick? It's a wonderful devise that rolls out muscle kinks and aches. I love The Stick! And now I have one of my very own!

This morning I went for a short little run. I ran around the park, up to Austin, down Berteau and around Luther North. It was about 2 miles.

It's a little humid today, but it was nice to get out and run. I didn't do anything crazy, I've got that 10K tomorrow. Although as I was running up Austin, there was a dead cat on the side walk... It was very sad. He looked like he was sleeping on his back (Seamus does that sometimes). I guess, it's nicer to think of that...it's just more peaceful that way.

On another note, I found a great website where you can map out your routes by miles or kilometers. It's definately fun to play with and I can find milage for my runs. Now I don't have to be on the precor or treadmill to know how far I've gone!
