Its too hot for me to trek around the mean streets of Kenmore with the tikes today (yeah I know, I am probably the only one that complains about the heat) so I headed to the basement elliptical when the kids all went down for a nap together today (yay for after lunch Amy’s house playtime with the boys!). I really really prefer to be outside and exercising. Lucy and I actually played outside for about 1 1/2 hrs. this morning but unless you count holding the hose so she can run through it, it wasn’t much exercise. You gotta do what fits and today it was the elliptical! The funny thing was that this was my first time on the elliptical since March when I was doing it pretty regularly because it was still chilly out and I went further and burned more calories than ever today! Yay! I hate bragging, but hey, I’ll take what I can get!

Soundtrack: I’m a constant skipper of songs that come on that I don’t like so today it was a mix of M. Ward, Band of Horses, Silversun Pickups, Conor Oberst and Superchunk.
