9:00-10:00 pm. on the treadmill. a sweet, easy 5 miles.
i've been feeling congested since friday so i haven't really worked out. friday, i bagged my run but made it to yoga. yesterday after work i helped my brother's gf paint her new apartment. and because we had family over this weekend to help my brother's gf, there was tasty but fatty food aplenty. and for some reason whenever my brothers are around i feel the need to outeat them. it's a strange unspoken eating contest we engage in when mom's fried chicken hits the table. and don't even get me started when she makes adobo.
so yeah, a workout was definitely in order today. i dragged myself to the gym after a short nap. because my sinuses were congested i figured the treadmill was my best bet. if my nose erupted with snot, i could always dash to the bathroom. and if i truly felt like poop, i could easily hop off and drive home.
luckily, running gets the blood pumping and the generated body heat clears the sinuses.
right now i'm trying to watch the espys. but chances are i'll channel surf to the food network...

I'm always convinced that exercise will clear up my congestion, but then again I'm delusional. Glad to hear your 5 miler went well.
I've given up on the food network programming of late - all the decent chefs - mario, sara moulton and tyler florence - seem to have been replaced with cheap knockoffs that I could outcook in a duel.
You. Me. Your brothers . . . . Eat off. Tomorrow 7pm. Bring it!! Yuuuummmmm fried chicken!! So bad for you, yet so good.
Hey, did you see Dean Karnazes got an ESPY? Probably not because they didn't even show it. Thanks ESPN!
One thing I love about sundays is the fact that if I get my running in during the week, I can plan to do absolutely nothing. But... then again that doesn't always happen... And sometimes we just feel more "satisfied" if we run anyway! Nice job!
Sometimes running clears up my congestion, but other times, snot is just free-flowing and when I'm running, that's the last place I want boogers to be dripping down my face (in case you're wondering, I believe the best place for boogers to be free flowing is in the shower -- steam opens shit up and water washes it away).
lol Jess..
I eat more when I'm home with my family too, weird huh
Was this the GF who intimated that you've got some weight to lose?
I did yoga tonight and snotted the whole way through.
you amaze me with all your long treadmill runs.
Way to push through the snot. I'm awful with running if I'm not at least 90% in the head. Sounds like a good run, however!
What type(s) of yoga classes do you take?
I understand about the sibling eating contest: my brother and I used to have an unspoken I-can-eat-more-than-you spirit whenever we were gathered around a large amount of food. I used to keep up, but he's one of those human garbage disposals now. He just opens his hatch and pours it all in. The worst part is that he doesn't show it. Punk. I'm sorry, am I venting my jealousy....?
