I got on the treadmill today.  Michelle and I had talked about doing the spin class, but I was just too uncomfortable on that bike.  The problem, is that my gut was hitting my legs whenever I pedaled, so it was very uncomfortable.
That’s another way to know that you’re fat.  When your gut hits your stomach when you’re riding a bike.
Anyway, I got off the bike, and went over to the treadmill and did the remainder of my time on the treadmill. Have I mentioned that I hate running on …

I went to the YMCA to workout today.  I think that I was supposed to take a rest day, but I figured what the heck and went to the gym.  I decided that I was not going to run on the treadmill since I really, really hate doing that, so I went on the elliptical instead.
I figured that the zero, or near zero impact of the elliptical machine would do me good.  I’m really concerned about getting injured again, so I really don’t want to put any undue stress on …

We did some upright rows, some presses and some other exercise that escapes me.  According …

Yesterday, after I took my son back to his mom’s, I went out to Town Lake for a run. I decided to run the 4 mile loop on the east side of I-35.
The loop goes from I-35, out to Longhorn Dam, over the Dam, up Pleasant Valley Rd, then along Lakeshore Blvd, up to Riverside Dr, then back to I-35. I think the temperature was somewhere near 100 degrees, and I didn’t get started on trail until about 6:30 pm.
