I'm actually working on Labor Day, whine whine. Ok, moving on.
I had a great 3 day weekend. I started feeling bad last Thursday, sore throat and headachy, then felt worse Friday so I called in sick to work. I just laid around all day, and had one of those completely unproductive but wonderful couch days. Saturday I felt a little better but still not great. I did manage to get out for a nice, easy 4 miler which felt fantastic. This cooler weather is SO nice for running. Rich was working all weekend, so me and the pups had the house to ourselves. We did a little cleaning, ran a few errands, and watched several hours of Food Network and Fools Rush In...LOVE that movie!
Yesterday Rich and I got up and hit the gym for a quick half-hour on the elliptical. I really love the elliptical because it's the only form of exercise that I can do while reading. I've tried reading while running on the treadmill, but that didn't work out so well (I fell off). The only bad thing about the elliptical is that it makes my toes go numb, but other than that I really like it.
I was going stir crazy after 2 days home alone, so after Rich left for work I went to the beach with some of our friends. It was a beautiful day, but a little too windy for the beach. We got sandblasted! After a few hours on the beach, we went back to their house and grilled some turkey burgers and hung out for a while. This entire summer has been so busy, and I have either worked, had family in town, or been out of town almost every single weekend since like May. So this lazy weekend was exactly what I had been craving!

Nice...three days that sound like heaven!
LOL at falling off the 'mill due to running. I'd do the same thing!
Glad you got a quiet, relaxing weekend!
Sounds like the perfect weekend! Isn't it awful that it takes something like getting sick to force us running weirdos to relax a little bit?
sometimes i love having alone time and sometimes I'm just bored out of my skull when d is gone
Always nice to have a lazy weekend ... I always get so much done!
at least you still had a nice long weekend, even if you had to work on labor day!
Glad you enjoyed your nice lazy weekend. It is nice to have those every now and then.
Sounds like a great weekend! Glad you're feeling better.
lazy weekends can be nice indeed. glad you enjoyed it.
i totally agree- need those "do nothing much" weekends every so often!!!! i hate too much running around. elliot and i watched the chopped marathon on food network yesterday while "working on the living room" lol..!!!! not our fault there were like 10 episodes on back to back. hehe. glad you are feeling better!!!!!!!!
and HOW do you read on the elliptical?? it's too much up and down for me to read. i can read on the bike, tho!
I can read on the bike & elliptical, but have NO idea how peeps read while running on the mill either!
See...there ya go, already an upside to not being able to marathon train. Reading on the elliptical! It's the only machine I can read on too.
