Seems my HRM craps out every now and then... right in the middle of some hard work. This was after the first floor block, when we got back onto the treadmill. Ran in my new pink shooz. They were great. As expected.

Knee was feeling a little funky this morning... I would feel tiny twinges of pain here and there... like the fucker was threatening me.

Decided I'd run anyway because this is my life and I need to live it... and it did OK. Needled me a little bit more as I was trying to go down the stairs... so I have to watch it today. Thinking I should ride the bike tomorrow. Run on Saturday, and then off on Sunday.

Work outfit is a bit of a snore. I will not burden you with my cute, albeit sort of ordinary outfit for today.

Rode the bike. Strength day, so, although I felt like I worked hard, the HR data indicates otherwise. My hands and arms are shaking as I try to type this.

Bought another pair of pink shoes. Found them at ASICS.COM (They were not available there when I checked before!) and they were CHEAPER than the ones I scrounged up from the Netherlands, free 2 day shipping.

They will reside under the bed until my current shoes are worn out.

3G no switch. After being one of 6 people in class yesterday, I didn't appreciate all of these people swarming around today. Lol.

Shooz finally arrived from THE NETHERLANDS. It took almost 3 weeks, but they are perfect and I love them. Am considering ordering another pair, before they change the damn design/color scheme, etc.

So I decided last minute to skip the workout yesterday, knowing full well that meant I'd have to do the fucking burpee class today. I just didn't want to run around that much, quite honestly. I came home, took a shower, watched some TV, and relaxed.

Butttttt.

That meant I had burpee madness today. I just did whatever I could. I went at my own pace and didn't hurt myself. Ran on the treadmill.

Watched the Kona coverage literally all day. Did LOTS of laundry.

Last night. We went to Topolobampo. It was expensive and just "OK". We each had a different meal menu and we all had the wine pairing.  Not super impressed, and it was VERY EXPENSIVE for what we had. I have had tasting menus at Alinea, Next, Everest, Graham Elliot, and at 3 Star Michelin Restaurants in France and Italy. I know what it's about, and this was... lame. Expensive and lame. The company was good, it was fun to get to know Meaghan and Chris a little bit better, but the food was disappointing.
