I'm back, after a week and a half of being sick and a very busy holiday weekend. It was good, just busy .. and I'm glad to be back at work.

Yesterday, after not training for two weeks, I did a very slow six miles on the treadmill at the gym. And proved to myself that while being on a treadmill for two hours and ten minutes is a drag, it is possible to do without dying of boredom. (And beats losing both ears to frostbite thanks to the wind.)

Hey, it looks like Robyn's food blog got mentioned on Weblog Central at MSNBC.com. (Scroll down.) Woohoo!


So, did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Mine was okay; the highlight (well, besides the actual eating) was being able to go to the gym on Thanksgiving Day, since Cheetah was open until 4 p.m. You don't know how much this thrills me. I remember being frustrated as hell last year, because when it comes to the days just before the holidays my schedule is different, and though I'm still kind of busy there are still times when I don't have to go into the office and would love to work out during the day for once... but my old gym would be closed on Christmas Eve. So I am glad to see another way in which this extra money I'm shelling out for Cheetah is making a difference.
