I must save $2

Friday-Saturday Training:
3 miles on the Treadmill
30 minutes on the stationary bike while reading "Microsoft Access for dummies"
15 minutes in the Sauna

Nothing on Saturday

Friday-Saturday, Life
I went to the library to get a few books on Microsoft Access, which they had. I also wanted to get "On the Edge" by Kirk johnson and "Running on the Sun"(A DVD about Badwater). Neither was available. in fact, my attempt to be cheap and not buy these from Amazon has created much more frustration than financial savings. Sometimes, I'll spend inordinate amounts of time to save 3 bucks and other times drop a hundred like I am the US Treasury.

Saturday, my wife woke up and went to the Gym. Nik was fine until about 30 minutes after she left. He keeps saying "Mommy's coming?' I answer in the affirmative and he starts crying. I have no clue what he is asking. It turns out he is running a fever and whenever he is sick, he gets very clingy to my wife. We went to my inlaws and had lunch. Nik napped there while my wife and I went to Barnes and Noble and Whole Foods. Barnes and Noble did not have either the book or DVD, but was able to order the DVD for me. The book, they claim, does not exist. I will have to buy it from Amazon now. Later, I went to REI, since they are having a sale. there was alot of cool stuff, but I already had a lot of it and would have been buying duplcate shirts, jackets, etc, so I left empty handed. I do want to buy a good pocketknife for our Badwater crewing effort. It may come in handy.

My wife (A), was supposed to go to a bachelorette party this evening, but due to Nik's ear infection, she opted to say at home. We make homemade chili and cornbread with cheddar cheese and jalapenos. It was really good.

Football games consumed the remainder of my night. I'm running 10 miles tomorrow morning at 7:30 am, then watching more Football.

Overall weekly reportcard:
Training- B( most mileage since LBCM - 18, with some cross training)
Life- D (Nik is sick)
