Hum... It's hard: the weather is amazing (!!) outside, and I'm sick... still!!! Getting much better though, but it would not be very smart to go out for a run. But tomorrow I'm hitting the gym... lightly!

But I Have a Good Reason...

Well, so much for the 6 miles run scheduled for today. I'm sick (just a little cold) so I will stay inside and hit the Elliptical machine and the treadmill. I'll do my run tomorrow so it's really only a switch off!

Day Off

Today is my day Off... No running or workout for me.. although I am looking at joining a boxing club... that would be sooo fun! Guilty pleasure of the day: salted and roasted cashews... oh they are soo good... too good!

Winter Sidewalks

I have only one wish at the moment: that the city of Cleveland would take the snow off the sidewalks... Not even all of them, but at least SOME. I just risked my ankles on my 5,5 miles run (sometimes almost a foot of snow. They seem to just push off the snow from the roads on the sidewalks... urgh!). So yes, I am mad! But hey, I did it.. again :-)

Are "instant feel good" ever actually good?

ugh... why did I do that? Now I feel like crap and well... have mild remorse! I just inhaled the leftovers (kind of a lot) of ice cream in my freezer along with Kashi Heart to heart cereal.. (I really have a thing for cereal!).. And well that's what I get: stomachache and an extra pound on my hips. It seem to only happen when I watch TV(on my computer) too... Maybe I should just stop watching stupid shows..

Those New Ellipticals...

Went to the gym, did what I had to do. But I tried today the "new elliptical machines" that came out a couple month ago... and they are good! so I researched it just for fun, and here's what I found:
"The Precor elliptical cross-training machine is the hottest piece of aerobic equipment found in gyms right now. It's the Stairmaster of the late 90s. Loads of other companies are taking the elliptical motion concept and coming out with similar devices. Some machines are good while others are junk. They do provide a low-impact alternative to running, but they aren't any more or less effective than other cardiovascular equipment."
