Well, Scottsdale is hot. When I left this morning at 8:20am, it was already about 80 degrees. Fortunately, I spent the whole day indoors because I believe it did hit the 90s. Someone told me they were expecting it to be in th 100s in the next couple of weeks. Kill me now.

I found out there was a gym nearby that has weekly passes. I was going to drive out there (1.5mi), but my brother shamed me into walking. I tried running, but my shins really hurt. Probably from all the standing around I got to do today. Made it to LA Fitness and paid the outrageous $40 for a week pass. Well, I don't want to lose out on working out this whole week, and I figure the exorbitant fee will encourage me to go daily. We'll see what happens.

Walking back, it was already really dark (not even 8pm!). Again, daylight savings really is amazing. I guess my hotel is not in the best neighborhood as I passed Better Bail Bonds, Scottsdale Trailer Corral, Zorba's Adult Videos, and a number of other "adult" venues. I also passed a small group of young teenagers who were smoking and had babies. Hmm...

I got back, ate a huge salad for dinner (good), then ate an entire Nestle Crunch bar for dessert (bad). This may well be the reason why I'm not noticing a difference in my body yet...

Workout: Walk 1.5mi to and from gym. Abs, back, legs.
