Olympics

I'm so excited about the Olympics starting! I wanted to stay home today just so I could watch the Today show coverage about it. Tonight the opening ceremony will air on NBC at 6:30 CST. I peeked at pictures that are posted on Msnbc.com and it looks like it'll be a great show!

I'm debating whether or not to go to boot camp tonight. I haven't had an off day since last Saturday and according to my half-marathon training schedule, I'm suppposed to take one off day a week. My legs do feel exhausted, but I'm still motivated to go. I guess I'll wait to see how I feel right before it's time. I did pack a bag though. I just don't want to overdo it and push myself too hard, but I also don't want to be a slacker. My runs this week have been really good. Saturday we are doing a four mile run and I'm anxious to see what my time will be. We'll probably do it at Shelby Farms so we can assess the milage correctly and we haven't gone out there since June.

A friend of mine wants to go out tonight as well, but I don't think she'll want to watch the Olympics, so I probably won't go out. It's funny that I have so many choices tonight! I usually don't like going out on Friday nights anyways, it's my night to decompress for the week. TGIF!

Slacker?

If you've been going at it every day since last Saturday,  sounds like you might need your rest day!  Of course with the weather being so much nicer for a few days, I can see where you might want to not miss boot camp to actually have some bearable conditions!  Whether you take a rest day or not, sounds like you're doing awesome!

Enjoy your run tomorrow!

You sound wonderfully upbeat! Puts me in a perky mood just reading your blog.  I would say if your legs are tired, take a rest day and give it all you've got on SAturday.  the cooler weather is a bit energizing, though, isn't it?!  It's hard to take a day off when you're in the swing of things.
