XT- elliptical

Missed the speed session yesterday, I like those so maybe will do it tomorrow. Had to take 13yo to promotional dance - actually dropped her at afriends house where the 5-6 girls got ready and then went on . Cant believe shes going to high school already!

Got a call at 4.45 pm from the dental office- I had an appointment for a root canal at 4.30. He agreed to wait for me till 5, so I rushed there after dropping the dtr. The root canal wasnt so bad- didnt have any pain while he was doing it-maybe due to the double dose of anaesthetic I requested. Even later on it was OK, just a bit sore.

So in all the going and coming, I missed the workout session- keep telling myself this is the main reason I should be finishing it off in the AM, but no, I just dont listen to myself!

Today did the elliptical again, 40 min, 1.7miles, random, with some hills, again burnt some 300 cal- thats the best part . I like the machine so far, tho I know the calorie count is exaggerated, but its a nice complement to the pounding motion of the running.

Speed R/W tomorrow.
