Treadmill #24


For years I have LOVED treadmill #24 at Golds Gym. It is in a perfect spot where I can see the clock, good air flow and I can scan the TVs. Well today they just went too far. The powers that be attached a TV SCREEN to the top of the treadmill!! I can't run with a TV screen 12 inches from my nose. I don't even like watching TV when I run.

RIP #24....I will miss you!!

Finally Four!!

I did it! I haven't ran up to four miles since my last stress fracture. I haven't tried very hard, but now that I'm going to be a bride I thought it would be nice to be a taut and hot one!! So I've been working up to it and actually ran in the hotel gym on Monday and today (Wednesday) I went out and ran around the boardwalk by the hotel for 4 miles. The weather was perfect, it was cool and clear with a slight wind.


It was a great run and there was actually a wedding going on right by the water. I did learn one thing. I will not grow old, get all my old girlfriends and go to Disney world wearing stretch capri pants and matching pink Disney world shirts and mouse ears. It's just not going to happen. It's disturbing and scary.

Doubting Disney

I haven't been a big fan of Disneyland since my ex-husband and I took our kids, as promised, six months after we separated. So when Matt invited me to go to Orlando with him, I had no idea how deeply sucked into Disney World that it would take me. Matt came for a conference and he had no idea either. The cab alone to the hotel cost the same as it costs to take a limo/town car to AND from Manhattan from JFK. Plus you are at least 15-20 miles from ANYTHING besides Disney stuff. Unless you have your own car you are stuck there for everything. The very large resort has plenty of things to choose from in both entertainment and food, it's just the whole idea that I have to give my money to one big company. SO, I was there to relax and I determined to do it. I had get a map of all the pools in order to find what I wanted, but once I was there, it was nice.

I settled in with a good book and then they brought me this:



A delicious refreshing beverage!! I was in heaven and spent about 3 hours, 4 refreshing beverages and many pages into a good book there. AHHHHHhhhhh!!!
