oh boy

two weeks without working out and I feel completely out of shape. Is that possible? I ran sprints on the treadmill today while daughter #1 had swimming lessons. (that is after the stupid slow walker got off it) I did it, but my heart rate got up to 170. Ack. I felt very fat for some reason. My gym membership is over (sob) at the end of the month. Back to the great outdoors. Actually I will miss the gym for weight training, but tonight when I went in it was packed and I'm not good with crowds. I had to get on one of the older treadmills for 5 minutes and whatever program I picked I had to put my age into and it wouldn't let me run over 4.5 until it checked my heart rate. Please. On a better note. I am completely healed (yeah me!) and have a 5k at the end of April.

Our truck died again. Dh would kill for a new, used, small, dented anything pickup truck. No, no no. I need to stick it to the man. We are buying a car that gets 34 mpg and is a stick shift. It is small as anything, and I won't be able to get three car seats in it but I'm getting it anyway. We have the SUV for carpools, surf fishing, home depot and hunting. I test drove a Chevy HHR (very retro car) today and since it's a 4 cylinder (i'm used to 8) I wanted to see what kinda pickup it had. I think the car salesman almost had a heart attack. Good thing he doesn't drive with me all the time. He'd be a corpse in about an hour. The car we are most likely getting is another 4 cylinder with 120 horsepower. I was going up a hill in it and tried to floor it and .....well....didn't get much past 40 on the hill. That car salesman thought that was pretty funny. At least he didn't try to talk me out of the manual transmission or put me in a small SUV b/c "that what all the ladies that come in here like" I hate buying cars.

Lost is on...gotta go!
