Well...

11-5-16

Okay, so I got up on time and met Amy P. at Press Cafe at the right time. But oddly enough, we didn't run. Instead we enjoyed the moment and walked for an hour. The temp was great- i think it was about 65? People were setting up for the farmers market that's held there every Saturday morning and farther down the trail, a 5k was being put together. Luke's Locker has a training group that runs on Saturday mornings too, so that was fun to see. Amy's plan was to get back in bed.

I feel like I've been lazy. This week has not been good for me working out. And naturally my half marathon is in 8 days and Mexico is in 10! HOLY heck. That came up fast. I really thought my body would look different! Hah. Well, all I can do is make these next few days extra healthy!!

So at some point today, I'll be doing a better workout, probably cycling. I gotta work up a sweat somehow!

Today is also my nephew's 1st birthday party!!! I can't wait to hug him!

-Later-

I did 30 minutes of cycling intervals. The bike fell off the front wheel holder dealy (as per usual) and the bike just felt weird. Wobbly. So we took it to the bike shop (which is a great place to spend money) and Raz asked the guy behind the desk (Fern. His name was Fern...) to put road tires on it! Eeeeehh! I was excited that he asked because I didn't want to bring up an extra expense. The guys at the shop also showed me their online calendar so I can look up and join group rides. I'm pumped!

Halloweiner!

10-31-16 Happy Halloween, y’all!! I’ve had the same Halloween costume since… 2010? It’s a (modest) sailor girl outfit and I’ve managed to wear it every year. But this year, it’s on a Monday, Booooo! Since I work in people’s homes and generally have to use public restrooms (think QT and Racetrac), I had no desire to be in a costume. Though I did wear a shirt with skeletons on it? I also wore mardi gras beads and gave a strand to each kid I worked with. And I chose today to be my rest day. I got up at 4:50am ( a little late) and just couldn’t get my ass in gear. So I did some yoga and said I would go running this evening with a friend. Well turns out she wouldn’t get to run until close to 7:45pm, which is basically my bed time, so then I said I would cycle in the evening. The close we got to that, the less likely that was to happen. Raz was going to go for a ruck march but when I reminded him it was Halloween and he would seem like a total creep-o for walking around, sweating, whi...

Transition Lessons

11-7-16 Y'all, so yesterday I volunteered to help out at a 'Best of the Best' triathlon in Denton. I had no clue what I really signed up for, but true to form the race director (RD), Jeff, was super nice. I've found that to be relatively consistent across sports. I told him I had just signed up for my first try and wanted to observe how things went so I could better understand what I was getting myself into! I left the house around 6:30am and got there about 7:30. The parking lot was pretty empty since the race didn't start until 9:30am. What was cool is that the few people who were already in the lot had their music blasting and seemed to be having a great time! I met Jeff in person and he directed me over to the transition area. Turns out, there were only about 6 volunteers total! *Lesson Learned: Races may be understaffed- do your best to know the rules before starting*   My first endeavor as a tri volunteer would be as a 'body marker'. which means ...

No more wine

2/7/17 Thanks for indulging me yesterday, I feel much better now. Once I got out of the house and started coming up with practical ideas of how to feel better, the sunshine came out. I went to the Botanic Gardens, one of my favorite places in FW (thank goodness it's free) and read fitness magazines. Between articles, I would get up and do 10 squats. It's ridiculous how high my HR gets now. My brother in law found this on instagram. Old school! My non exhaustive plan for March: 1. Document preggers workouts (need more/any photos)       This will be good for me because it will motivate me to make forward progress and to know remember where I'm at. Of course I still want to be performing at top (or even mid) level, but I'm blessed to be having a baby and I need to embrace where I am now. 2. Go kayaking this month       Yessss... What's not to love about this? 3. Work in the garden more       Well, due to all the drama we had...
