Boring Wednesday
Not running is so boring. I would love to write all about how I am frolicking through amazing trails in the trees, enjoying the beginning of fall... would love to write about that but sadly the only frolicking I did last night and this morning was on the wonderful elliptical trainer.
Last night after work I officially joined NYSC, and then ellipticalled for 1 hour and 40 minutes. I was going to do a full two hours but the only reading material was Good Housekeeping and my new favorite show (I cannot believe I am admitting this publicly), the Gilmore Girls, was so boring. So I quit when the show was about 75% finished. I have been on a healthy eating thing which is good but after the elliptical I was so hungry that I had to leave and get food. My latest food obsession (I obsess and get sick of food) is Kashi Go Lean Crunch, which is so good. So after working out I went to the store, bought cereal and rice milk, and went back to the hotel and ate. Then in a fit of productivity I dyed my hair. Orange.
Just kidding. God I am bored. I actually just dyed it slightly darker than my natural color, to cover up my gray hairs. Yes I am 26 and I have lots of gray hair. Oh well, it wasn't too much of a pain and it only took 30 minutes or so start to finish. It was a good hotel activity - I'd been planning to do this for weeks but hadn't had time at home.
This morning I got up and went to the gym where I had more fun on the elliptical for 65 minutes. Then I lifted weights for a while. I hope I will be able to run tomorrow morning but currently I am still too bruised and sore, oh well. After reading that Alison ellipticalled for 98 minutes yesterday I am thinking I should go work out again tonight. However, I may go explore NYC to alleviate my boredom - I kind of want to go to Greenwich Village.
This has been a great short week, I am already going home tomorrow!! Woo hoo!!
Hopefully I will be posting about actually running tomorrow, fingers crossed...

That was a good scare...I almost thought you really did dye your hair orange. I'm going to have to try your cereal too, since most don't keep me full until lunch.
Good luck, I hope you can run today. :)
