I was just checking my blog to see if I wrote about going to the gym on Friday. I didn't realize Thursday was the last time I wrote. Where did the time go? It went Away. You know the place I'm talking about. I drove Emily and her BFF Leah to school on Friday with the plan to walk as soon as I got home, but then the rain came. I decided it was finally time for me to park my car at the community center next to the pool and check out the exercise room. It's included in our homeowner's fee. We have two community centers and two pools. The guy working the desk offered to show me the equipment, and I decided to try the elliptical machine. Can I say I hated every moment of the 20 minutes I was on it? I didn't know how to slow down. I think I did 3.2 miles in 20 minutes. There were no games I could play like I do with swimming. Wah. I didn't like it, but I'm going to go back. I'll try the buttons and figure out how to manually program it. I also tried the different pieces of equipment, but again didn't really know how to adjust the seats or other movable parts. I did know enough to set the weights of each piece to the lightest setting. I went to work after coming home and getting ready, and I was tired out all day. Sore but not too sore. Saturday kicked my butt at work. Most days are easy and just flow. Saturday I ran late and almost every haircut was a complicated one. I was running on empty, but the day finally ended and I got to go to Borders. Thank goodness for Borders. When I got home I went to the pool to swim. I know I'm in rambling mode now. I brought Em to a friend's house this morning. She was invited to go to the National Zoo with the family. I ran errands...Sam's Club, Staples, Target, then Border's for my favorite drink. I went to the community pool where I grew up for the annual Labor Day party, and hung out with my sister, sister-in-law, mom, Kit, and a bunch of women from my book club. I swam laps, even though I was still so sore from last night's mile. I'm crazy sore now. Despite the fact that tomorrow is the last day the pool is open, I'm staying away from the lap lanes. I might go to the pool just to lay around. No parties, no plans. Anyone doing anything fun?
