Friday!

So, I am happy! Do you know why?! It's Friday of a long weekend. I am so excited to go running shoe shopping, get my butt kicked at step on Saturday morning, have mom me Matt and attend a friend's party on Saturday. Yes, I did say that my mom is about to meet my new "boy". She is preparing dinner for us. I hope that the weather is great so that we can eat outside.

I spent the night at Matt's. This was my first time doing so. It was a great way to spend time with him and still get to work on time. There is nothing like having to get out of a warm bed with a warm body and head out for work. He said, "I could get used to waking up to you."

Last night, as we were drifting off to sleep, I had terrible stomach cramps. There is nothing like having to use the bathroom at your new guy's place. Fortunately, there was little embarrassment on my part. I remember one time actually leaving a guy's house because of 'having the stomach flu'. I talked to him the next day and told him why. He said, "You should have just gone here." Yeah right!! LOL

I didn't train last night for my half. I need to create or find a training schedule so that I am not just shooting in the dark. I like having a plan as well as flexibility. I am definitely going to make sure that I am doing plenty of cross-training for different reasons. I want to have fun and stay healthy while I am training. Doing much of one thing is never good. When I was losing weight the first time, I did a little of everything workout wise. Walking, running, elliptical, step aerobics, circuit training, heavy lifting, high-reps were all a part of my weekly routine. I think that is how I was able to love my workouts. I worked out indoors and out, at home and in the gym. Wherever, whenever, however, I always was well-equipped with a contingency plan.
