Finally Got My Feet Out The Door...

 

I don't know what was going on this morning, but I got up at 5 AM (which really isn't early to me) and ran for 35 minutes.  It was a very, very slow start, but I was able to pick it up at the end.  The weather was perfect, and I need to do this more often. 

Tomorrow morning, I have a 3 mile obstacle race in Chillicothe, IL.  It looks like it's going to be so much fun!  Check out this video from last year's race (and this is only the 1 mile course!)  I can't wait to see what obstacles are on the 3 mile course.  I'm going to be dead tired after this race.  I got tired watching this video! 

I still have to make it into the gym though, so that's going to suck.  I also have to go to a friend's birthday dinner at El Toro.  That will be TWICE this week that I have sat at El Toro and not had a single chip or margarita.  Last night, a group of coworkers went to El Toro to celebrate a promotion.  They kept telling me they felt bad that I couldn't eat or drink.  I told them it was fine, and it really was.  I thought it was going to be hard, but I didn't mind.  I enjoyed their company so much, so that's why I think the delicious cheese chip, warm tortilla chips, and frozen raspberry margaritas didn't break me down.  I'll be in good company Saturday night too, so I'll be fine.  I might even sneak in my own dinner.

Oh!  So, my workout last night was AMAZING!  I left wanting to die, but that's a good thing, right?!  My shoulders were burning, but I could tell that I was hitting all the right heads in my deltoids.  The gym was pretty much empty, so I had a lot of room to do my thing, and didn't have to give any asians dirty looks.  Last night, Clint had to walk Teddie because he always pulls and I thought my arm would fall off if I walked him. 

AND, it's finally Friday!  Thank you, little baby Jesus.  :)
