This was taken last year at our house - we have no snow yet this year. It's true...I do. I'm just happier and feel better about life when the air is cold and bright. Weirdo. Yep!
So anyway, when the day dawned sunny and chilly on Saturday, I was thrilled that we had planned to ride. I wanted to leave by 10:30, but it was closer to 11:15 before we got out on the road. No matter, we still had plenty of time to get in a nice ride (base building intensity) before I had to get showered to get to the hairdresser! We did about 26 miles - rolling hills - and it was very enjoyable. I'm still working too hard up hills, but until I drop some poundage, that isn't likely to change. My bike felt good, I was dressed correctly, and I feel like I got a nice workout. My lower back was screaming at me by the end, but honestly, not as loudly as the previous week, so that's good.
We got home, I took a shower, scarfed down some pasta & sauce leftovers and proceeded to load wood. We are expecting some cold temps the early part of this week, so I wanted the wood rack in the house to be FULL. Then I headed to my haircut. By the time that was done, I was ravenous. Apparently, a medium sized bowl of pasta was not enough fuel! We went out for Mexican and I definitely ate too many chips with salsa. Go figure. Eh.
Sunday was a lousy day. I was grumpy all day and nothing seemed to be going right. By the end of the day, I just wanted to go to bed so that the day would be done. We didn't get to swim because we don't have the money to pay for the pool memembership right now. I get paid on Friday - so I'm going to INSIST that we join next weekend. Secondly, I let the whole day get away from me before I realized that I was supposed to run! How did I let that happen? I don't think I'll "make it up". I think I'll just move on with whatever run I've got scheduled for Tuesday. Tonight I'll be doing some type of full body weight workout - with core. Can't wait!!
