Sunday, Lazy Sunday!

Today was a day off of the challenge - no push ups, crunches, or dips for me! On my calendar for today was either 105 minutes or 9 miles of running. However, today was a nice lazy Sunday for me! We had overnight guests and I didn't really want to leave R home alone with four boys 10 and under. Then it was time for lunch and quiet time for the adults in the family room while the boys played nicely together outside! IT WAS GREAT!!!! I didn't track any calories today (and ate a little more than I probably should have - I'll be glad when Halloween is over and the candy is out of the house!) and started to feel guilty after dinner. I didn't do my run today! I have less than three weeks until my next half marathon! What have I done to myself?!?!? Fear not...the elliptical is in the house! I decided I would do at least an hour and a half on the elliptical to make up for my lack of a run today. R took the boys upstairs for bed at 8:30 and on I hopped! Can I tell you how miserable the elliptical is for an extended length of time? After only 20 minutes or so I was SO BORED...even with decent shows on the television. But I persevered and even overpowered - I stayed on for the whole 105 minutes I was supposed to run today! By the end of the workout I felt fantastic! HOWEVER...it wasn't really "fun" like an outdoor run would have been today, so I'm going to try to remember this next time I want to be lazy! :)
