The key to running on the treadmill is to find the gym TV that’s showing Jeopardy!
I totally got some answers right while I ran three miles (28:09, 9:22 pace). For example:
What is “ice”?
Who is “Rihanna”?
What is “Benihana”?
Nobody got the Benihana question right. Ummm, clearly the contestants have missed out on an exquisite culinary experience.
Speaking of exquisite culinary experiences, here is my delicious dinner:

It came frozen. In a bag. Bertolli Steak, Rigatoni & Portobello Mushrooms. Try not to be too intimidated by my cooking skillz.
Rewind to the gym: I also did strength-training and (ugh) abs. How can I stop hating ab work so much? Maybe if I did it more often, my core would be stronger and it wouldn’t be so hard.
Anywho. I just have a four-mile run on the books for tomorrow, and then I’m flying out to NYC, baby! I’ll be in town Friday through Monday. I’ll be doing a 10-miler in/around Central Park on Saturday. Then, I will search for bagels and, let’s be honest, a beer.
I don’t really have anything planned except for that, so NYC Tumblr people — let me know if you want to hang out!
