Session of 20 second workout video.

Feeling back to normal and in the office by 6.

2.5 miles running with the dog, then dropped her off at the townhouse and ran another 2.2 miles.  About 1 mile before the end I waved to Steve Ashbaker as he ran by.  Then, turning around for my last half mile, he suddenly appeared by my side.  He ran a cooldown while we talked for a few minutes.  He's been doing some crazy mileage lately.

Finished up with 1.3 mile roundtrip walk down to Sushi To Go to pick up some dinner.

Tonight I plan to do an arm workout and deck of card workout while watching Biggest Loser.

Nice miles! I'm SO glad to see you recovering well and getting those miles up again so quickly! How did you like BL last night? I skipped the workout for a bowl of Frosted Flakes while watching :)

Of the people left, I was glad to see Sunshine go. I got very tired of the constant tears from her. I would like to see Daris win - but he is probably too skinny already. If not - I've changed my mind about Michael and think it would be good if he won. Might keep him motivated to lose the rest of the weight.

How about you?

I agree about Sunshine, I figured she was too thin to lose enough weight when I saw Michael and Koli's #'s. I'm split on who I want to win... I think it's funny that Michael keeps complaining "who leaves a weight loss show and is still obese?" HELLO?!? What about Ashley right next to him and Shay last season? PLUS all the people who got voted off. The brown twins are probably STILL 400 pounds! He is just too hard on himself. I think Koli's gotten too cocky and Daris is too thin already. I don't think Ashley will drop enough weight to beat the men, and Michael could pull out a win if he gets his mental game on. I can see good and bad's each way. I guess I just love seeing the change in all of them. Bad thing is I swear there is some subliminal message in the show that makes me want to eat junk while I watch it though!!

NICE to see you logging more miles and recovering well. :)
