<\/a>\nWhen are people in church? I’ll be in the gym. Is there a big TV event going on? I think I’ll head to the pool instead…So when I realized that Monday night was THE.BIG<\/span>.GAME.<\/span><\/strong> I knew I’d have to go to the gym to hopefully workout in peace!<\/p>\n
If I had been home with Michael, we would have had a fire in the fireplace and I’d be reading a book. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n My time wasn’t too bad for the medium pace I ran. \u00a0I’m glad that I’ve broken the 3 mile threshold. And this morning I felt no pain or stiffness in my knee or leg, so that’s also a good sign.<\/p>\n After my run I headed to the weight room and it was also empty.<\/p>\n I had some good tunes playing, free reign of the machines, and no schedule pressing me to hurry. I took my time. I’ve been slowly incorporating some leg weights into my routine but I’m taking it easy. I don’t want to push my knee too far too soon.<\/p>\n Gym Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 1:26<\/strong><\/p>\n Calories Burned: 610<\/strong><\/p>\n I went home and found my neighborhood street packed with cars. I think every house was having a Duck party. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I left the boys to watch their foosball and I retreated to the bedroom to watch an episode of Criminal Minds and relax. I slathered some of this ointment on my leg to give it a try:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI’m not a fan of football at all. I’m sure that will upset a lot of fans but it’s just not my sport. If I was going to watch sports I’d much rather watch hockey or basketball.\u00a0 While I’m not a football fan and I’m not even from Oregon, I did hope that Oregon was successful in the “Big Game”. I just didn’t need to watch it.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBut since I’m a ninja, I went to the gym. And it paid off! The places was EMPTY. I kid you not. I have proof:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI don’t know the last time I ever saw the gym this empty. It was awesome. I ran my 3.25 miles on the treadmill. I didn’t have pain in my knee while I was running but afterward it immediately felt really stiff.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nDespite the weight room being almost completely empty the ONE machine I really love was taken. The whole time I lifted weights. How funny is that? I finally gave up on that machine (the Pec Fly) and did everything else.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nMonday night normally would be a rest day, and honestly I think mentally I needed it. But I’m glad I took advantage of the empty gym.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nMichael had a friend over for dinner and the game and I lucked out getting home just as they were fixing it. I snagged myself a bratwurst too and watched a little bit the game. The score was pretty close for awhile.<\/p>\n
