Weekend Wrapup
Noooooooo!!!!! It’s sunday night again.
Back to the grind we go.
Yesterday i hit the pool for a little 30min workout.
Then in the afternoon it was off to an orientation meeting because i will be working weeknds at a festival up here at the farm my roommate works out for the next 7 weeks. Except the 3 days i have races.
Dinner was the delicious Salmon and veggies i had made Friday night with a southwest salad.
And i watched Kiss The girls since i finished the book.
Sunday it was long run day. 5 miles
I taped my knees to be safe since they were sore at the end of the week.
I took the dog out running with me. We only got about half a mile until the drizzle started to pour then turned into hail. She didnt like that too much so we turned around and brought her
back home.
Then i went back out and braved the elements to run 5 more miles. It misted, rained, poured and hailed. It was in interesting run lol.
Me looking like a drowned rat after my run. Also i look like i was crying. I am guessing that is the rain running all my sweat into my eyes.
And now its sleep time.
How was your weekend?
Do your weekends fly by too?
Book Review**Along Came a Spider
I finally jumped on the Alex Cross bandwagon, like 20 years after everyone else but i do tend to come late to the party. I enjoyed the book, it was a good read. I have definitely read better suspense/crime/murder mystery books but it wasn’t bad.
I also watched the movie and man does it not do the books justice. Sorry Morgan Freeman but not your best choice.
Has anyone else read the Alex Cross books?
I am now on book 3.
I will continue to read my way slowly through the series and in between other books but i don’t think I’ll be biting my nails in suspense of what comes next.
And beware some scenes in these books you can never unsee in your head.
TGIF
Woooohoooo another weekend has arrived!
Not much to report here. I am taking it easy and resting me body
Iced my knee tonight. Tomorrow i swim and hopefully by Sunday I’m ready to run again. I think I’ll tape my knee up to be safe.
My roommate brought me back candy from Australia
Boy do they have the right idea.
I made a nice healthy meal of salmon and veggies
Actually it made 2 meals 
Should make a delicious dinner tomorrow and Sunday night.
That and several episodes of Scandal were my Friday night……i know, i party too hard.
Did you do anything fun with your TGIF?
What does your weekend look like?
Short and to the point.
I dragged my butt out of bed and to the gym this morning to go to spin class. I got there is 6 min late (i am usually nerd early everywhere but an AM workout, forget about it). So i get there and am hoping the class won’t be too full, they hadn’t even started yet. I’m adjusting my bike thinking how lucky i am only to here the gym worker telling the other 5 people in the class that there is no instructor this morning……….so now what?
2 of the people left but the rest of us rode on!!!!!! Slowly as the hour went on people trickled out. I made it about 50 min.
I am proud of myself for not using thr excuse of no class to get me out of my workout.
On the flip side my knees are super achey! This is the first time i have ever worked out this much and this consistently and my body is like WTF?
So tonight i iced my knees and will be taking it easy. Tomorrow is my rest day anyways and Saturday instead of spin amd swim I’m just going to swim. Hopefully ill be able to do my 5 miles on Sunday. Fingers crossed!
I may have gone a little overboard with my dinner tonight…..
We’ll call this a cheat meal lol. Now i need to be very good for a while hahahahahaha.
And now im exhausted so good night!!!!!
Hump Day
We made it past the half way point!!!
Swam this morning
My photography skills leave something to be desired.
My lunchbox these days, filled to max.
I had a suprise on my desk this morning!!!! Groot!!!! This little guy is so cute and i always played with my co-workers so she bought me one!!!!!! Probably because i threatened to steal hers…………….
Thanks Christina!!!!!!!!
This is part of tomorrow lunch but i just wanted a little taste test………..you ready? This is coleslaw mix from the grocery store and……top ramen!!! With some green onions sprinkles on top. Not too shabby.
And last but not least
I started a little lettuce garden. I’m not sure i filled the pot enough though. Guess we will find out.
How was your Wednesday?
Are you doing any gardening this year?
Monday Night video and Tuesday tangents
So Monday night i filmed a little video. Here’s the youtube link:
Most of my other news is about food hahaha.
Coffee as always
I’m going back and forth between getting coffee and buying those Starbucks bottles in the store. I am also trying to stretch them out over 2 days to reduce my caffine intake (preworkout has caffine in it) and to save myself some money.
This week’s lunches are good old fashion PB&J on Dave’s Killer bread
Except that as an adult that is so not enough so i defrosted some risotto i made awhile ago to have with it.
I had leftover cream cheese from having bagels for lunch last week so i am combining it with something healthy
This is surprisingly delicious.
And lastly i cuddled up at work with my coworkers heating blanket because i was chilly today.
How was your Tuesday?

Weekend Wrap up
The rain managed to actually stay away most of the weekend which was lovely. It hit Saturday night and late today afternoon/evening.
Last night poor Artemis didnt feel too good. Her tummy was making all kinds of crazy sounds and she wasn’t hungry. She got better though thankfully and when i woke up her food was eaten and she has gotten better and better today.
My guess is she either ate something she shouldn’t have or just had a little upset tummy. Either way it just needed to work its way out of her system which it did today.
The roomies and i FINALLY took our tree down…….yes i mean Christmas tree lol. It only took us until March..not too bad right? Lol
On another but way worse roomie note, my roommates care got stolen out of our driveway last night?! I feel so bad for her. I am so thankful my car has an alarm and GPS so the cops can track it if anything ever happens. Knock on wood.
Other sad news i own almost 5k in medical bills from my surgery in October. Insurance denied my paying more because it was an out of network provider. Oy, this being an adult stuff rocks. Thankfully i can set up a payment plan.
In happier news…..
The tomato and pepper starters are exploding!!!
I am so excited!
Also i ran 4 miles today!!! And the 4 miles we outside!!!!
Artemis ran the first 1.5 miles with me then she got tired so i dropped her off at home. Shes getting over her tummy troubles so i didn’t want to push it.
So i workout a pretty good amount. These are the things that help keep me going. Along with pre-workout, protien and recovery but ill talk about that another day.
I also did a lot of reading this weekend which was glorius.
Do you take any suppliments?
What’s the weather like where you are?
If you have dogs, do they run with you?
A relaxed Saturday
I got up and went to spin this morning, yay me.
Enjoyed my recovery when i came back
Made an awesome Brie, pear and sage grilled cheese on whole grain sourdough
The rest of the day was spent watching tv and movies and reading
Everyone has to search through their 3 bags of books from Barnes and Noble to find the book they are looking for right?
Overall it was a pretty relaxing day.
