These are the DREADmills in the fitness center at our apartment complex. I know them well. I love them. I hate them. I would MUCH rather be outside running, but it's cold out there! I'm trying to get myself back in shape for a marathon in November. The last time I attempted this, I ended up with a stress fracture in my right leg. I'm opting for a more forgiving surface to run on for a couple of months, then I'll slowly make the transition to outside running in the Spring. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it!
This photo was taken at 8:45 am this morning! What's so exciting about that you ask? Well, it means that church starts at 9:00 am and WE ARE HOME BY LUNCH TIME!!! I love the early church schedule! I can't say it's always been my favorite, especially when I had young children, but now that I'm only responsible for getting myself ready for church, it ROCKS!!! Now, if they only had an 8:00 am start time, life would be perfect! ;-)
Today was a COMPLETELY relaxing day. We went for a 2 hour walk this morning through a beautiful golf course with winding trails, streams and bridges, came back and took a nap (heaven), and then I put together my annual New Years Day puzzle. I was so excited to find this puzzle of Times Square (one of my new favorite places!) It has 765 pieces and is 3 feet wide. I like it so much I think I may have it matted and framed. I think it would look nice in our little living room above the couch.
