Tri Dreaming

Just a quick post for right now... First off... LOTR marathon yesterday was AWESOME! I actually stayed awake for all three too! (This is a nearly impossible task for me as I am usually lucky if I see the first 5 minutes once I turn a movie on.) Great day off :)

I'm on my way to work now. Just got in a quick 4.5 (or so) mile run outdoors. The weather is actually great- I think around 32 degrees. I am starting to realize that I really like running in cooler weather (anything below 20 might be questionable). I picked a route with a lot of long hills in it and I'm not yet sure if that was a good idea since I have to go sit around for 4 1/2 hours but I'll let you know. I'm also going to try out this new ab belt that my friend gave me for Christmas. She's getting her masters and for her thesis or experiment or something she and a partner tested out one of those belts that stimulates your abdominal muscles. Anyway, it's called slendertone and she claims it works so I thought why not. I don't think it will actually affect your weight at all, but she said it's good for strengthening the core so that's always beneficial. Again, I'll let you know how it goes.

With that, I'm off to the shower and then work at the club. I'm bringing my swim stuff with the hopes of having motivation to get in the pool afterwards. I don't want the run to be my only workout because I didn't have enough time to make it as long as I would have liked. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
