TGIF! Now that in so close to my goal mileage the miles are dragging. Not running wise, but time wise. I knew the closer I'd get the more excited id be and the end would take forever to get here. Kinda like when you were a kid waiting out that last week until Christmas morning! Omg come on time lol
Sleep update, in case anyone cares: another night of non-medicated sleep, but it took me two hours again. *under the breath grumbles*
I get to go back to class at the gym per my physical therapist. I have to go very light and super slow, but I get to do stuff YAY!
That's how I am. Takes forever to fall alseep. I'm Jealous of my h who can lay down and start snoring within seconds! Hope you get some good rest this weekend and enjoy being back to the gym!!!

TGIF. I hope that my buyers actually give me an answer at noon today regarding their inspection or I'm going to throw a fit. I'm so so so aggravated at this point.

Thanks! Unfortunately (well not really lol) my parents are here this weekend, so I don't have the option to go sleep in the guest room, which is how I've been sleeping the last few weeks. But I'll try!

My H is going out of town this weekend, so I am taking the kids to my mom's house so she can watch them while I work out. Tomorrow morning I am meeting my aunt at the pool at my alma mater and we are going to swim together. I am very excited about this. Then on Sunday I have to do a 2.5 hour bike ride. I have never ridden for that long alone, but my home town has a nice 20 mile bike trail that I might try riding.
I decided to go back to kickboxing which is the place where I gained my fitness self-confidence. Now I remember why I liked it so much, and I'm hoping it will continue to fuel the fitness fire. It's hard because I don't have the lungs I once did, and since my boobs are still giant nursing boobs they get in the damn way and my punches are all kind of wide and killing my traps. It's funny, prior to pregnancy I was all leg power. Now my upper body power outpaces my legs, kicking is hard without much of a core to speak of.
@sessalee, I am happy to see a positive update from you. I have been thinking about you. You are right - you can do this. I am rooting for you!
Thank you It's been a struggle, physically and mentally. I'm so mad at myself for gaining all the weight I did. I think once I forgive myself for it, I'll be able to move forward.
I decided not to go to CF today because of the wod. I haven't done that in over a year. It's 201 wallballs with other stuff thrown in. I have this weird cramp pain in my leg that started Tuesday and bugged me during Wed wod as well. I'm worried it will hurt again today and I've been have issues with my shoulder with overhead work. I feel like I should rest those two areas but now I'm trying to figure out what to do instead. I could run but meh. I plan on doing yoga later but I need cardio today as well. I feel the need for it in a big way. Maybe I'll do hip hop and Zumba dance from YouTube. Maybe I should run since I have a half coming up in a month. Can't I be lazy just one day on a scheduled workout day without feeling guilty?
/i have 3 miles on the schedule today. Will likely go to the gym later to knock it out on the treadmill since i have no motivationright now. I need to get my paper done today argggg.

Please be kind to yourself. You can't change what happened yesterday, but you can control what you do today. Good luck!
I did a little over 9 miles this morning and they just flew by. It's amazing what a difference a new trail can make. We're in Tampa and checked out a trail that some of the local girls gave me info on. It was so nice! I also allowed myself to take it easy since I'm dealing with this back crap, so that probably helped with it feeling so relaxed. It was a really nice route!
I am going to work all day even though it's a non-contract day because the kids come on Monday and I'm NOWHERE near ready. It's my sixth year teaching, but starting over at a new school is so overwhelming!
Working a half day since AJ's sitter is out of town, yippee! AJ and I are planning on going to a monthly festival in the suburb where my mom lives (about 25 mins from me), but BFF's dad is in the hospital in the same town so depending on how his day today goes I may go there to sit with BFF and ask my mom to take AJ for a bit.

I'm taking my son to kindergarten orientation today. He starts school on Monday. I can't believe he's so big already! I think there will be tears (from me - he'll probably be fine!).

I easily hit 10,000 steps hiking in the caves camping this week. I also tried running in the mornings since it was the easiest thing.
Turns out, I still hate running. My lungs feel like they are on fire about a minute in. The rest of my body is fine, although I did get some shin splints. But a mile was still all I could do. And yet 5-6 miles of hiking was fine. My dad says he's the same way, so maybe it's hereditary?
I was worried about getting back to Jillian after a week off, but I felt pretty good this morning.

Good luck! Our classes start Monday, too, and I'm a little nervous (2nd year college professor).

I want to go home after I swim at lunch. But, I know if I do, I won't brush my hair, and I'll just leave it in a wet ponytail all afternoon. I need to go back to work in order to make myself presentable for the rest of the world.
I usually wfh on fridays. Next friday is a required wfh day bc they are moving us within the office. Our new big boss was shocked we actually have to work. She told all of us not to work. So ill be doing my next 20 miler that morning

I'm trying really hard not to look at the weather for my tri tomorrow. Last night it was cloudy, low 60's and probably going to be raining at the start. It's going to be what it's going to be and stalking it won't help.
One of the most annoying, time wasting, PITA projects has resurfaced at work. I want to cry and drink at the same time.

Hugs!! Hope they get their heads out of their butts and give you answers!
They did. They accepted our offer for the closing cost credit and home warranty!!!
Beers and margaritas for everyone!!! :drink: :beer:
We are going to get to Florida just in time for the hurricane. Yippee!
I assume no fault by association with the shitbag defensive coordinator at VT for fining his players, who don't get paid to play football, even though he makes 1.6 million a year, when they screw up.
I am finally not sore from lifting this week! Hooray! The gym was even drama-free this morning, which was desperately needed after the week our community has had.
What part of the state are you going to be in & when? The storm predictions are worthless until roughly 36 hrs out, but solid chance of a bunch of rain & wind for a bit, no matter what. So, ya know, just like any other summer day in FL.

We will be in Naples, so on the interior coast. It shouldn't do much where we are even if it hits the state as predicted, other than inconvenience everyone's pool time and outdoor dining at night.
You guys stay safe up there too! No hurricane kayak excursions for you!
Haha. Yes, we'll keep the kayaks dry. The latest path actually has it tucking up into the west coast and then cutting across back east, but we'll see what happens. I'm hoping she'll break up a bit over the DR and then be nothing more than a fun hurricane/storm party for everyone.
