1. Last night, I KILLED my tempo run. It was pretty rad. Based on my (estimated) time trial, I was shooting for 10:37. What actually happened - 1/2 mile warm up, 1 mile @ 10:39, 1 mile at 10:15, 1/2 mile cool down.
Now I think I've been underestimating myself. That 2nd mile seemed pretty easy....
But that's not all!
2. Then! I did Suck Less. Total of 185 push ups, 392 sit ups, 143 tricep dips. The H "accidentally" gave me column three of sit ups, instead of column two. Jerk.
But I did them, and it wasn't that awful. Again with the underestimating myself....
Anyway, I *kind of* have some muscle now. Sort of. A little.
3. Also, did you see the Tinker Bell Half Medal!? Hello, giant sparkly twirly thing...
(Yes, I've heard Tinker Bell TWIRLS. How rad is that?!)
4. I saw this on my way to work today....
Really? I think I would pass on hiring you, my friend.
5. Last night, I talked to someone with the local chapter of Team in Training, and Gabby has been selected to be the Honored Teammate for the Orange County/Inland Empire for the winter season! So excited to be working with TNT, and help the Team raise money for LLS.
6. Florida is coming up FAST - 10 days! While I'm not at all excited about the hot, and the humidity (oh dear lord the humidity), I AM excited to see some people I haven't seen in a while... and hopefully eat some real Cuban food. Not that fakey stuff I pretend to make.
7. You know you're a runner when this shows up in your taskbar.......
8. And FINALLY, it's the last day of the work week, and I don't have to be in my office for TWO WHOLE DAYS! Phew. It was getting close to stabbing-o-clock around here.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Congrats on an awesome tempo run and all of your other good news.
ReplyDeleteA little jealous about your successful tempo, I admit. I need to work on sucking less around here...
I'm so glad I registered for tinkerbell, that medal is amazeballs!
