Work is cramping my style...

So I did NOT get to go to Hot Yoga this morning as hoped (double drat).  Also, I must confess that due to hours spent in the office for this install I ate like CRAP all weekend.  I mean hideous things that do not deserve to be written down and re-lived.  I hope that next week I can get back into the swing of things again.  I must say I am really proud I was able to squeeze that bike ride in yesterday since that was all the activiy I had since Thursday.

1st ride of the year

Well we had a huge install at work so I missed the group run at 7:30 am (drat)... And I got off work around noon so I didn't have time to make the group bike ride at 12:30 pm (drat)... So hubby and I decided to take our first road (non-trainer) bike ride of the year.  It was perfect temperature for a ride and a beautiful day.
We rode 40 miles in 2 hours and 46 minutes with avg speed of 14.42 and max speed of 45.50 (assuming this is when I was in areo-position going down water-tower hill).
I didn't have the heartrate monitor on because I hadn't readjusted the size since it fell down to my waist in hot yoga.
I am supposed to be back at work at 5:00 am so I may not get to go to Hot Yoga at 8:00 am (drat).
Wish me luck!

Sweaty Sweaty yoga hotness…

Well yesterday I stayed off the treadmill and my knee was feeling better, so I went to hot yoga after work.  IT WAS PACKED AGAIN!!!  It looks like word has gotten out about the sweaty hot greatness of the hot yoga because it was so packed last night.  I think I sweated more than ever before… lol but then again maybe I think that after each time I go.

I wanted to wear my heart rate monitor again, but right after we started it slipped down around my waist, so I ditched it.

Took an Aleve before bed last night and knee is feeling even better today.  I am still not 100%, but hoping that I can get in a long run sometime this weekend (around my work schedule for our big install).

My how the time flies….

Time seems to have flown since my last post.

I got off the treadmill because I was feeling a ‘twinge’ in my left knee.  I am going to assume it is because I was attempting to run at a faster pace, give it some rest and slow back down and see how that goes…

Rookie mistake

Ok, so there were actually 2 rookie mistakes in the same day.  I wore my heart-rate monitor to hot yoga this AM and didn’t get the darn thing turned on correctly.  THEN… I went for a run and didn’t get my Garmin turned off correctly after the run was over.  I deleted everything after my 8^th mile  because the info was so miss-leading.  I had a good time again at hot yoga, I felt comfortable trying out the new poses.  Yesterday I went to Target to find a yoga towel and they were sold out, so still ‘rocking’ the beach-towel look. 

The run felt really rough today and I am not sure if it was wind, route, what I had eaten, or the hour of hot yoga 4 hours earlier.  Anyway as I sit here typing this I can really feel today’s activities in my body, so that is a great thing because yesterday we were in Missouri for my daughters’ indoor soccer games, so I didn’t track my meals or get any real activity in.
