Didn't run much today. I got up with owen and am a little tired this morning. Also starting to feel a little stuffy again.

Did the climber today because I did not want to over do it with the running. I will run again tomorrow. The sauna was thankfully empty.

Well I made it the whole 3 today. It felt pretty good. I had to take one small break to blow my nose but it was only for about half a minute

"Do you go to church?" So I'm sitting in the sauna listening to On The Media. And that is the question I am asked. The guy asking is an older man who works as a horse trainer, he's missing many teeth and is not very well educated. He is already not one of my favorite people because he seems to think doing push-ups in the sauna is acceptable. Additionally he's chatty. STFU and let me sweat in peace! I should have just done the "sorry listening to music" thing and ignored him, but what can I say I'm a nice guy. So I explain that no I don't go to church I'm jewish. In this town that usually ends any religous discussion. Unfortunately not this time. "I'm Jewish too!" Oh fuck, now I've done it. I realized at this point my sauna time was going to be cut way short. He starts babbling about Jesus was jewish and he is a follower of Christ so he's jewish to yadda yadda yadda. I put my ear bud back in hoping to kill the conversation. Nope, not going to work. "Let me give you my testimonial........blather blather blather... in the penitentiary for 3 years...blah blah blah. I am a tolerant person, I try to be nice to people, but for fucks sake people there is an appropriate time and place for something like this. 5:55AM in the sauna at Gold's Gym™ is not it. I just finished running 3 god damn miles and am in a small 130 degree room. Don't fucking talk to me. Furthermore, don't try to get me to accept a personal savior. The time for that might be at about 2.5 miles. I realize that there is a large community in this area that are "born again" and that they consider this an important part of their faith. I get that. But cripes if the sinner(Me) isn't interested and goes back to the iPod just Shut up. I don't need the preachy crap. The scary part is after cutting the sauna short and showering AND dressing he was still in the sauna "testifying" I just hope this isn't a bad sign for the day.

If this post offends any of the 3 people who read this blog... well, sometimes life is offensive.

There now I feel better

One more thing: Honk Bag!!

Ran a mile this morning. I started to get a little pain in my side after that so I walked it off. I plan to be back to 3 miles by the end of the week. Hopefully the weight will come back in line this week too.

209 Yikes! I think the peanut butter snack is going by the wayside. And I really need to start running again. I am still a bit congested from the cold. Hopefully I'll be up to running on monday. The climber was a bit rough this morning. I upped it to level 5 because I was only doing 20 minutes. I think if I watch what I eat this weekend I can be back to a decent weight by monday.

I don't know if I got it from Owen or if I gave it to him. But both Owen and I appear to be suffering from the California Virus Type X. This should make for a great day!

Didn't really get much running done today. I just didn't really get into it. I'll have to try harder tomorrow. I should have gone to the gym at some point yesterday

Forgot to weigh in today. Locker room was busy. looks like it might be a busy day.

Bart beer does not help the morning workout. I was really tired this morning so I just walked. I'm hoping the two additional lbs are from the beer and will be gone tomorrow.

New word for the day: Lostgasm.

I used the old school X-Trainer today. I like that one it really works you. According to it I went 3.68 miles. Not too shabby the average heart rate was 126. Not too shabby.

Apparently some members complained that the lighting in the sauna was insufficient for reading. Now there is a 1 billion what kleig light in there. WTF! I think that bulb puts out more heat than the heater. Not too mention the fact that it is absolutely blinding in there now. Who the hell reads in a sauna. really, I mean you hot and sweaty and all, sounds like the perfect time to be holding paper and trying to read something. Not happy about the light!
