No running

Yeah, you read correctly. I haven't been running. Well, for the last 2 days anyway. After my awful Sunday run, I decided to give my left shin and right knee a break. So what, you ask, have I been doing in the interim? Watching the Olympics of course. Childhood dreams of winning the gold have passed me by, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the synchronized diving, water polo and gymnastics does it? One question though, why does the women's beach volleyball uniform consist of a barely-there bikini when the men's team uniform is a baggy sleeveless t-shirt and long shorts? My vote: the men should be forced to go sleeveless t-shirtless. But I digress.

(interesting...an hour after I posted this, it looks like I'm not the only one asking that question http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/slideshow/ss.76)

On tap for tomorrow: a spinning class! Yep, back to the gym I go at lunch time to get in a little cross training. Gonna take my old tennies for a spin on the bike. Hope I can keep up. The last time I did this, I had one of the best (and sweatiest) workouts ever. In the evening, perhaps a run. I'm going to be exhausted. But maybe, just maybe, I'll finally be able to get a full, uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep tomorrow night.
