In the wake of SOARING gas prices (I heard that there were some places that were gouging prices to as high as $8 a gallon yesterday), due to the shortened supply from Katrina, I have decided to consistently carpool with my buddy Deb. This way, we can both share the increased costs of this catastrophe.
Related, but only slightly, I got a new car for my birthday. NICE! you say? Totally nice. It is a 2005 Acura TSX, and it is SUUUWEEET! It has just about every feature ever made for cars, and I love it.
But I think that goes without saying, right? Who wouldn’t love a brand new car with everything in it? Not me! Here’s a pic of the beautiful creature that is Duane’s new Acura TSX:
I do solemnly swear to keep this car clean (to the best of my ability), and pamper it as long as I can. I want this baby to last!!! It even comes with XM radio, which I think that I will end up keeping past the first three months (which are free), because it is nice to have all those channels, and especially to have an Air America station that comes in more clearly than the AM version. So that’s that.
As for the workout, last night I was awesome. I rocked out 30 minutes on the elliptical. I thought that my feet were going to shrivel up and die, and I actually had a conversation with Judy Garland near the end, but I did make it the full 30 minutes. It looks like this workout thing isn’t going to be so bad, and it also looks like I can actually maintain it… for 3 days at least. I know I can though, cause I am pratically a retired professional when it comes to staying in shape… but now, this bitch has got to go back to work.
Tonight we join the Y, and the workout will commence. I had planned on doing spin class tonight at the Y, but my biceps are hurting very badly from my workout on Tuesday still, so I will probably do a repeat of yesterday, with sit ups added. And that is all for the work out update. More to come, stay tuned!
