Oh Dark Thirty....

...that is what time I started my day this morning. 0430 is early! I was up and got my running gear on and headed out to the cold garage. I think it was about 40 degrees in the garage. Nothing like a cool crisp morning to do an early run. Actually it was fantastic. My vision was a little blurred because I didn't put my contacts in, but it is not like I was running far.

Lets back up a bit. The treadmill arrived on Tuesday morning via UPS. I called the company to make an appointment for setup and they called back telling me it would be better to come to the house later that day...NO problem. I wanted the machine out of the box and functional. So it sits in the garage in the 3rd bay which is meant for extra stuff. Currently my workout equipment occupies that space and I am content with it there.

My run was good. I did a little interval work which just shows me how slow I am, not to mention how out of shape my body is. The machine was only at 7.5mph and my heart rate was 166. Ugh....I have some work to do, but that is what the treadmill is for. Anyway did a 20 minute run and then a 10 minute stretching circuit that I do after any exercise. I headed for the shower and started my day with a cup of coffee and an egg white whole wheat burrito with black beans and salsa...yummy. The Prilosec that I am taking for my acid reflux from stress really allows me to eat more salsa. Love taco salad with salsa as the dressing. In addition salsa in an egg/bean burrito totally rocks.

I will post pictures later of my setup once I get it a bit more organized.

Headed to bed so I can repeat tomorrow....

Failure is not an option!
