Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00
Total Distance
3.00

3 miles on the treadmill at a 7.0 speed.  I've decided that there is the "lazy me" on one shoulder, and "Jillian Michaels" on the other.  Yes, Jillian :)  Gotta say, I would LOVE to have her work me out sometime, even for just an hour.  I know, glutton for punishment ;)  Anyway, slept in again, so I did this after I took the kids to school.  Started out fine, after 1.25 miles, my phone rang and I answered.  Normally, I wouldn't do this, but, as I was expecting a call and a visitor, I did today.  Anyway, after the call, I started up again and had lost some momentum, of course.  And then, I started to feel hungry.  Hadn't had breakfast yet, as usual.  Which isn't a problem at 6:15 a.m., but by 8:45, it starts to be.  So, I carried on with "lazy me" and "Jillian" arguing with each other.  They argued about slowing down, not going as far as I originally planned (4 miles) or just toughing it out.   Normally, "Jillian" wins.  Not today.  I decided falling off the treadmill didn't sound like too much fun this morning.  Could I have made it?  Maybe.  But, I didn't want to chance it this morning.   Sorry, Jillian ;)
