BEIGE & BOYS

Wow! Two nights in a row on the treadmill. Not the usual for me, but there is a bitter windchill tonight so opted to spend a little time of the treadmill. Shelby was disappointed :(
Here is my view from my basement TM.

unaware of the camera, love how chill they look (could that room be any more beige!)

goofing around, trying to hide from the camera - the straight haired one is my kid. You have no idea how many times a similar scene has occurred  in my home. With seven boys in the house we have had every system, and popular game, trading cards, etc. etc., not to mention how many broken controllers there have been, never a dull moment - although now we are down to three boys and that one is the youngest.
When I got bored of staring at the blank wall, I got to look at this. I kind of felt like those pink guys while running on the mill.

At least it wasn't some first person shooter game, or worse yet, Grand Theft Auto - that would be the older boys domain. Come to think of it, running on the TM, if it were a color, it would be beige. Sorry Emz! Think I'll run outside tomorrow, windy or not. :)

A Little Gym

Survived a day and night of shopping in Syracuse - my legs were so achy that it was waking me up during the night! Woke up this morning, stumbled in the dark to gather up my clothes, including my favorite 'Dirty Oars' t-shirt, but that's another story- brought my key card down to the 1rst floor, which in Canada would be known as the second floor, and climbed aboard one of the two lonely treadmills, for an EZ 35 minutes.  The 'gym' included two treadmills, one elliptical machine, and one all-inclusive weight machine, a water cooler and two t.v's - but I did have it all to myself.
Listened to my music while flipping through the channels and stopped, flipping not running, when I came upon this:

Uh.., ya.., well , beats staring at a brick wall and the parking lot while on the treadmill.
After breakfast, went next door to the pharmacy and bought some Advil, for my legs, and then put in another full day of shopping. My mother sure can shop!

Quality Time

5 400m intervals today on the treadmill. This is the start of week 2 of my 10K training. So far so good!
Last week I went to the track but this week I decided to use the treadmill for intervals and I liked it. It was nice that my son Sean was hanging out in the room  playing video games - hey it may not be 'quality' time but it was time together.
