I incorporated more interval training into my run. I already did intervals throughout the entire run, but I added more incline and really took is down halfway through and revved it back up again. It broke up the run nicely and it went by faster than usual. And for the first time in I-don't-know-how-long I'll be working out after work on Friday. I'll be doing my circuit training.

Despite being good about exercise and diet, I've gained two pounds this week. This always happens. Up and down this last year. :(

A co-worker of mine rides with me to work most mornings. We've been doing this since our company moved in August, and for the most part it's worked well. This last week and a half though, she has had some really bad problems with her sciatic nerve. This has made her move much more slowly, and as a consequence, get out the door later than usual. I've really tried to be patient and understanding, but this morning as I watched the clock ticking away, and I was sitting there waiting for her . . my frustration level peaked. So, I mentioned to her that I understood she'd been in pain, etc., but would really appreciate it if she could try to be closer to the 7 a.m. departure time. I explained that I need to be ON a machine in the gym by no later than 7:25 a.m. in order to get 30 minutes + stretching completed. She didn't respond too well to this, and it left me feeling bad and wondering if it had been completely selfish of me to even have mentioned it.
