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

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...

Foodie recap

I love to cook. And I love to cook for other people. I may not stray too far on my menu, ok people have said I cook way too much salmon, but at least I mix up the recipes some times? All right, so I probably eat salmon 3-5 nights a week and when I'm not eating salmon I'm eating Mexican. This is Texas. But I should branch out every once in a while. I need some new dishes. Who has suggestions? Everyone once in a while, we make filets...but that can get expensive so it's usually only on special occasions - like holidays...or if it goes on sale. I've made scallops before, so good, but also expensive. I also want to stay relatively healthy. It's ok to go off the reservation and eat what I want once in a while, but I should not be doing it as much as I have been lately. Sooo...here's what I've been eating lately... Chicken fajitas I feel like there must be a veggie missing from this plate... Chicken fajitas take two Happy Mother...

Rock n Roll Dallas recap

We arrived in late Dallas Friday afternoon. When we had left Houston, it was a balmy 87 and four hours later when we stepped out of the car in Dallas is was 53! Talk about a temperature drop. Saturday we went over to expo to get registered and pick up our bibs. The expo was pretty cool, lots to look at, but it took a hot minute to figure out how to get out of there which maybe was the point. By the time we went to dinner on Saturday everybody was a little concerned about the weather for Sunday's race. They were saying it was supposed to be about 41 at the start with winds at 25-30 miles per hour and gusting to 45mph! E and A wanted to wear long sleeves while K was still talking about running in a singlet. I was on the fence. I didn't have any throw away clothes with me so if I wore a long sleeve top I would have to keep it on the whole time. In the end I stuck with my normal short sleeves and gloves. Sleep Saturday night was fitful and by the time the alarm went off I w...
