Yesterday I met Ronnie for lunch and they declined my debit card. The lady said they have problems with their machine all the time and tried again. Declined again. Now I knew that there was more then $11 in my account, but I gave her a credit card instead. That card worked fine. I forgot all about it until about 8:00 last night. At that time I got online to check out my account. I use Bill Pay to pay almost all of my bills electronically. It seems that I accidentally typed to pay $15,079.71 instead of $1,579.71 on my credit card bill that was due yesterday. I do not have $15,000 in my account so my account was showing a negative balance. I emailed customer service in hopes that they would not bounce my house note today. Then this morning I called the credit card company to explain and let them know that I rescheduled the payment for the 11th. They were very nice and gave me a 5 day grace period with no late fees. Then she tried to sell me credit protection!!! Ugg! It took forever to get off the phone. I thought I had everything taken care of until this afternoon when I got back on line to make sure and saw a returned check fee on my checking account. I called the bank and they said they would take care of it too. A zero can end up making a big difference!! I am just thankful it didn’t cost me anything more then time.
On to today’s workout… It was raining last night when I went to bed, so I set out running outside clothes as well as running inside clothes. I set the alarm for 4:45 to give myself time to get to the Rec Center and run in case of rain. When the alarm went off, I got up and looked out the window. It was not raining. Yea, I get to run outside. I put on my outside clothing and set out. I ran 6 miles in 57:10, 9:31 pace. Today was my 7th day in a row to do some form of exercise and my 3rd to have to get up early to do it and I think that it really hurt my speed. After spending the day at work and dealing with my extra zero, I decided to give step/toning class a go. Joyce had sick kids so Kim taught tonight. We did 50 minutes of step with some weight toning mixed in, about 8 minutes of abs and then about 2 minutes of stretching. I didn’t really get my heart rate up until about the last 6 minutes of the step part that is why I quit going to step class last fall. I get so much more out of running for an hour then doing class, I don’t know how often I will do step class but it is a nice change of pace. I just hope it isn’t a waste of time.

Oh my, I've done things like that before. I'm glad that you got it straightened out.
It's fun to change it up every now and then. I loved Step Classes in college!
way to go on the morning run! it is soooooo hard for me to actually get up and get my butt moving, and when I do I feel like i'm moving in slow motion, so I know what you mean by morning runs hurting your speed. great job though!
Oh wow!! I hope the bank account is straightened out by now!!
Great job on all the workouts!
