skipped today

i totally skipped working out today. i had to be at the office pretty early and i was just too damned tired tonight to make it to spin. i know, i know, i even had paid for the soul cycle. honestly though, some days you're just too tired. i am getting in bed now.

we leave for our mini break tomorrow early am. should be nice and relaxing although its forecasted to rain which would be a bummer. oh well. we'll see!!!

be back at you next tuesday!

today

Today is a mess.

Some issues on the home front and work front. I'm hoping they blow over.

I ran for just about 20 minutes this am before my 45 min trainer session. Feeling strong and lean today. Now just need to eat that way!

A quick am run

I ran a quick 2.5m this am. I want to get up to running 4 and 5m each am, but hey, take what you can get. My allergies (a hot topic these days) have been making me quite fatigued as does my allergy medicine, Allegra-D. It is, however, the only allergy medicine that seems to work for me. Oh well.

My plan for the week is not too too solid. Today was a short run and I have dinner with a dear friend, I hope to not pig out. To nullify the chance of pigging out (too often related to not eating quite enough), I have brought my snacks and lunch for the day. Tomorrow I will probably run aghain and go to yoga if my day works out as planned. Or maybe we will take the bikes out in the am. Wednesday I have my trainer appt and hope to do 30 min on the elliptical prior. Thursday night I want to take a soul-cycle class (i really love it there guys, I have to admit).

That's all I've got. Friday am we are off the the beautiful Dominican Republic, my home country. I am excited.

Peppy anyone?

I bought a bike. It's a Cannondale. It has pink handlebars. I love it.

I never have ridden a bike. I mean, I know how to, but I never rode a ton as a kid. I didn't own a bike. Last year at this time I even think I might have blogged about how biking is stupid.

Uhm yea, did I mention, pink handlebars???

My bike is named Peppy. I love her. Mainly because she is pink

I rode for about 40 minutes or just shy of 10 miles. It was pretty invigorating. Didn't get a headache but my head is a bit cloudy.

Tomorrow I will run 4 miles on the treadmill pre work. Maybe I'll even head outdoors and run the reservoir 2x and back and forth to my house. That's about 4.25m and it's a nice am run. It's a nice run period but I have just been so freaking lazy!!! And scared, I am pretty scared of my sinuses and allergies and of getting a headache. It's terrible to be scared but its also reality.

We are headed to Punta Cana for the 4th of July. Pretty excited.
