Pure Exhaustion!
There is nothing I hate worse than not getting a good night’s sleep. I had planned to get up and run a few miles this morning (even though technically it’s a rest day), but I woke up around 1:30 am and just could not get back into a deep sleep. I was hot, then thirsty, had to go to the bathroom, toss, turn, toss, turn…then around 5:00 am Tigger decided he wanted to get up and have some breakfast. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Then he decided to walk around – click, click, click went toenails on the floor. Grrrrr. He finally decided to get back on the bed and go to sleep, and of course that’s when the alarm went off. So, I am beat. I’m going to need some toothpicks to keep my eyes open today…and caffeine, lots and lots of caffeine!
Had a pretty nice weekend. On Saturday I went to the gym and did my strength training workout. I also added a lot of calf strengthening exercises because my right Achilles has been bothering me, but I definitely overdid it because my calves are seriously aching. Luckily I have a massage scheduled for tonight.
I also had a manicure and pedicure, and I’m happy to say that I once again have 10 toenails! Yes, there are already little bits of toenail growing in. Hopefully I won’t have that problem again now that I’ve gone up to size 9 running shoes.
On Saturday night we went to Stella for dinner, and had a great time. We had cocktails first and enjoyed chatting with Liam, our Irish bartender. Then one of the servers complimented me on the dress I was wearing, and we got to talking. She’s originally from Virginia, so we had fun discussing how people are so different here compared to our home states. Dinner as usual was delish.
Yesterday I worked out on the crosstrainer while Jerel went grocery shopping. We were supposed to go a health & fitness expo, but as we were walking there it started raining, and I had on sandals and no rain jacket, so we turned around and went home. We ended up watching some taped shows on the DVR and in the evening we watch Juno On Demand.
Not much planned for this week. I’m seeing Tara tomorrow morning, and I have the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge on Thursday night. It doesn’t start until 7:15 pm. Um, I’m usually in my pjs by then! Anyway, it should be pretty crazy, since there are around 15,000 runners squeezed onto the streets of Boston. That doesn’t sound very fun at all to me! Oh well, I’m doing it for the experience.
Hope you’re all doing well and had a fab weekend!
