Soooo, I forgot my notebook that I tally my workout information in. Okay. I found some paper and a pen. Problem solved.

I also forgot an envelope that I needed to mail for work. That's a bit of a problem. I stopped at the bank but had to come back to the office and get the envelope and get it prepped to go out. Luckily, it looks like the mail is running late today. If I'm wrong and we just didn't get anything (pretty damn impossible this time of the month for my work), then I'll have to run the envelope down to the post office after my shower. It has to go out today, so whatever it takes to make it happen is what needs to happen.

I'm telling you this because this is my mindset when I got to the gym. It was one "Crap!" after another. Sounds like I was setting myself up for another less than stellar workout, huh? I woke up at 5:46 this morning and said 'oh, HELL no!' to myself and got myself back to sleep for another 2 hours. That is what did it, I think. If I didn't get those extra zzzzz's, I bet it would have been a miserable workout but I did and it wasn't, so there.

I did a smidge over 30 minutes of circuit training, abs included, and then moved onto T33. She remembered last night and was stingy with her 0.0 inclines, which is what I do my intervals on. I took advantage of a 30 seconder, which is frustrating because by the time you get accelerated to the correct speed, you only get 10-15 seconds of straight running before you have to start decelerating but I think that helped and I also took another minute and a half interval, which was nice even though it wasn't 0.0 incline.

I knew I wouldn't have too many intervals since I was regularly bumping up the levels and once you get past level 7, there's no such thing as 0.0 intervals. None. Nada. Nihil.

During the cooldown, I took advantage and got another minute and a half interval in, which was nice. It helped push me over my goal and that made me happy.

All in all, despite a rough start, it was a most excellent workout. Random program, levels 3-16.

1 running interval for 30 seconds at 6.0 mph, 0.0 incline.
1 running interval for 90 seconds at 6.0 mph, 1.5 incline.
1 running interval for 90 seconds at 6.0 mph, 1.0 incline.

Stats: 502 calories, 3.64 miles, 65:00 minutes.
