Benched again

My 4 miles on Monday turned out to be slightly premature. On Tuesday I got benched for another month. Now I can add the $30.00 Bridge Run fee into my pile of cash I've used to sign up for races that I couldn't do. I have a bunch of t-shirts though (that I never wear or I leave/lose at the gym).

Now I've started thinking about all those shirts/things that I haven't seen lately and I am sure I left at one of the gyms somewhere along the way. The most frightening right now is my heart rate monitor chest strap. Where the hell is that? I haven't been wearing it. I haven't seen it arbitrarily in my gym bag or at home. In the past 2 minutes I've become convinced that it's lost forever. Like my super comfy Gap sweater with the faux fur lined hood. That sweater was super cute and only 2 months old.. I have no idea where it is. WTF?! Later on I will forget that I've lost these things and only remember them again when I am in a position where I cannot go and look for them. It's a vicious cycle.

I did bootcamp this morning which included a LITTLE bit of SLOW running. Not enough to even register on the radar and YES I could feel shin discomfort. The rest of the group did a 1 mile run for time while I went inside and did a mile on the elliptical with the elevation and level turned up. We did some pushups, which seemed easy today. Usually I loathe pushups. When I get off work I will go back and hit the elliptical again and the weights. It's chest and triceps day.

I have another bootcamp tomorrow. I signed up for it before the spending freeze. It was $10.00 and the money goes to battling childhood obesity, which is actually one thing that I am (quietly) very passionate about. However, not having kids I don't feel like I can be spokeswoman against it since I have no experience from which to speak. However, if I were Miss America you can be sure that I would be on the wagon with Michele O in this cause. I'm hoping the bootcamp kicks my ass.

That's all folks. Pretty lame blogging today.. sorry.
