Last day of vacation so we wanted to get the workout in early as we will be travelling for over 12 hours later. Went to the gym and did about 12 minutes on the recumbant bike. Did my stretches and called it a day. This was great to have this gym here as it allowed me to do at least a little exercise (without dealing with the extreme humidity here in Punta Cana).

I was set up for a 50-minute massage today at 9am, so I decided to get up early and get to the gym early. Why workout and work the muscles all up after the massage, so get it down before.

Rode the recumbant bike for 20 minutes, then did some weights again--free weights and some abs.

On vacation for the next few days (today's our anniversary!!!), and still not wanting to run, decided to try one of the new machines at the resort gym. There's this machine that looks like an elliptical, but when I got on and moving on it, it simulated cross-country skiing-type moves. It was really intersting. Did that for 10 minutes, then walked on the treadmill for another 3 or so minutes. That's it for today.

Today's the last morning in Atlanta and I wanted to take advantage of the gym one last time. After laying around and cuddling (and fooling around) a bit this morning, I only had a short time to workout. Went down and did 15 fast minutes on the elliptical, enough to break a good sweat. Was supposed to fly out at 11:16am, so maybe thought I could get to 20/20/20 or a run in in the evening also. Unfortunately weather in Chicago delayed my flight about 4 hours, then we had to circle in the air before landing, so I didn't get home until 7:30pm or so. Exhausted from a day of travel and delays, I was not interested in exercising again.

Today's Bill's marathon, so he had to leave the room about 6:30am. I headed right down to the gym to get a workout. Ran 1 mile on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the bike, then did a whole bunch of core and ab workouts, plus some tricep dips. Then finished with 5 quick minutes on the elliptical before rushing up to the room to get cleaned up to go meet Bill. Got to see him at miles 10, 14, 19, and the finish line. For as hilly as this course was (and really cold and windy in Atlanta today), he did great--finishedin 5:02:37! Just missed the 5 hours, but a really great marathon for him!

After having my flight delayed two hours today, my visit with Bill and seeing Atlanta was cut short a bit. We were going to visit the Coca Cola experience, drive the marathon course, and had to get dinner. After all that, we still had to exercise as Bill hadn't done his mile yet. The hotel had an awesome gym with treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, a few machines, medicine balls and exercise balls. Bill and I went down in the late evening to the gym. He did his mile and I tried to--but with just eating dinner and the gym was hot so I didn't get far. Just walked for 10 minutes, then did some of the leg machines and some arm weights.
