Outdoor workout...and "What would Rachel Green do?"

I'm FULL of energy right now. I woke up and decided to go outside for my workout today rather than go to the gym. It's overcast here and a perfect temp, not too hot or cold. First I took both Aiden & Murphy out for a walk, b/c I know the poor dog has been needing one desperately. I'm a terrible Mommy and hardly get him out for a walk!! I need to work on that. Anyway, then I brought Murphy back and headed out for a run with Aiden in the jogging stroller along the river. Oh it was soooo nice! He loved it and it felt good to get back outside for a jog. I stopped midway and did step-ups on a bench and then towards the end I did tricep dips on a bench and push-ups on the concrete. I feel great!! Guess it helps that I pumped myself full of caffeine before I headed out. Hehehehehe Now I'm going to head out to the Farmer's Market and pick up some fresh fruits and veggies!

Does anyone remember the episode of Friends where Rachel's coworkers always go outside to smoke together and she feels like she missing out on all the good stuff since she doesn't smoke.....so she goes out and pretends she smokes just to get in on the conversation? Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's a funny episode. Anyway, I swear I'm experiencing the SAME thing - BUT - no it's not smoking....it's eating fast food. Nice huh. No I'm not eating it but 2 women I work with will and they head out together and they know I always bring my lunch and never eat that. One is our boss and the other is the girl I work side-by-side with. I'm missing all the good talk!! Damn! I've even considered saying "Hey! I'll join you for lunch today!" just so I can get in on it. But you all know how I'll feel after doing that, JUST so I can get the goods on the work talk. *sigh* So what would Rachel do? Would she pretend to eat the crap and then feel like shit later? LOL (NO, I in no way intend to eat KFC- which is what's right next door to our office!) Blech!

If it was a Subway or something like that next door, then you'd be fine, but KFC? Ugh, I totally hear you! Way to go on the outdoor workout!

What a fun workout. I love being outside.
You are cracking me up with all that office talk. I am sure you won't miss much if you skip it and chances are your good habits will eventually rub off on them and they will be brown bagging it with you.
