I gotta tellya, I like the YMCA.
I like the elliptical machines that they have there, and I also like the treadmills.  I think my favorite thing about the whole experience, are the big ol flat screen plasma TVs that they have right in front of the equipment.
Michelle and I went yesterday, and while she was on the bike and the treadmill, I did the elliptical machine.  I was never, and actually I’m still not much of a fan of these machines.  I hate the hamster wheel feeling of running in …

Yeah, I was lazy last week and didn’t run at all.  I was busy with junk and I didn’t make the time to go run.  I have no excuse and no reason other than I just didn’t do it.

On Monday night, I made it out to the Barton Creek Greenbelt, aka BCG for a rare evening run.  It was a very pleasant day, with a nice temperature of about 90 degrees.
I gotta tellya, I love running in the BCG.  Monday, was no exception.
