Today is my Friday

I love our spring schedule at work - the office is split into two groups and we rotate Fridays off for several months. And tomorrow is my Friday off.

It looks like the rain may finally take a break tomorrow, so I plan on running, going to yoga and hanging out by the pool if I can. At least until I need to go to the store to get everything for Friday night.

I really need to step up my running and to do that, I think I actually need to schedule in some off days. Last week, my Friday, Saturday and Sunday runs all felt terrible. Monday and Tuesday were good and then yesterday felt sluggish and hard again. I don't think I am one of those people who can run seven days a week with no rest. Not after being a runner for over 20 years. I need rest. Even if it's only one day off a week.

I also need to get back into yoga. I think that's part of the problem too. It's been over a week since my last class. And my hips are ridiculously tight. I'm going to try and start going in the morning again next week. Even though I will never be a morning person.

And we lifted yesterday for the first time in months. I am so sore. I really need to be in the gym at least two days a week as well. This whole being healthy thing sure does take up a lot of time. It's a good thing I almost never have plans. <-- It's not funny bc it's true.

So maybe today is my day off. I didn't go to yoga this morning. And the 5pm class after work is not a good one. We'll see how I feel about running later.

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
