Ok, so I didn't run the number of miles I wanted to. I got lazy and couldn't get myself up before work the rest of the week. However, I just got back from cycling - I have to clock the actual distance but I went hard core for thirty minutes (I'm guessing based on biking with Mike, who has a odometer on his bike, I was going about 10-12 mph on a fairly heavy gear). My estimate is probably about three or four miles.
My blood is pounding and I feel so energetic now... love love love it. The temp is perfect today, and now I'm sitting on my deck enjoying the breeze and the peaceful sunset and a tall glass of ice cold water. There's a thrush sitting in the tree below my deck just warbling away. He's so loud I could hear him as I came inside the house after my ride.
I also ran into our neighbors Elsa, Steve and the "boys" as I was puffing up our hill... I'm sure my face was beet-red... the number one nasty reason that working out sucks - to get home it's uphill both ways up our street! As I told them, I almost didn't want to stop because I wasn't sure if I could start up again. That's how unfit I am.
I seriously need to get some balance back into my life. My new job has really wiped me out to the point of not wanting to move from the couch when I get home from work. My husband has been really patient with me, but I'm getting frustrated with myself because I want to be more active. Plus I haven't seen any of my friends in a really long time. Also not good!
I had a really good day today though. My mom's work had a Trivia Bee fundraiser which I've helped with in the past, either being on a team or being a table monitor. This year I was a table monitor. I can't believe the hard work that goes into it, and its always so much fun. Really a worthwhile cause.
It's getting a little chilly so I'm calling it quits for tonight and going inside.

Beet red is only ok if you've been working out. We get a decent work out walking if we put the distance into it. I'm joining the community center this week (just have to send in the application). Let me know if you end up joining and maybe we can work out together sometimes. I'll show you some of the stuff that my sister will be showing me.
