Day Off

So I did the unthinkable and took the day off from working out. I tried to sleep in but still got up at 6am. I figure I might go swimming and then maybe go for a run and a bike ride. I just did nothing except pack for my week long trip to Rhode Island. It was weird. I made sure not to consume tons of calories since I really didn't burn any sitting on the couch today.

I fly out at 7am but I think with the time change tonight I might still go for a swim before going to the airport. That's the one thing I will miss when I move out to DC is 24 hour fitness. Being able to go work out as early as you want. We'll see if I can get up a little earlier than normal because I almost fell asleep watching TV this afternoon.

The marathon trials happened today and Hall kicked some major butt and looks like he can contend for a medal next year. Meb was a non-factor which is disappointing. The sad news is one of the runners actually died on the course. It seems at every marathon there is at least one death. It also always seems to be a healthy runner. I guess they just push too hard and don't notice and their heart just gives up. It's a definitely scary thought especially when you push a workout and feel like your heart is going to explode.

The Beavers are getting crushed right now at USC. Nothing new I guess...tomorrow is the big Colts/Patriots game and I fly into Boston an hour before kickoff. Should be interesting to see th e mood of the city after they just won the World Series and with the Patriots playing so well..

Welp, I may be able to blog more this week from my hotel room as it will be pretty boring.
