The Missing Blog

Ok. It's been a week since my last post. Too long. Last week seemed to get away from me. I was way too busy living life to write about it and I was way too tired at night to think about it. So let's see if I can summarize that crazy week.

The game was on last week. I hit all of my workouts and some extra. I got in two 3.1 mile runs and one 4 mile run! WOW! I was slow but it sure felt good to hit it. I have never run that far in my life. It was a personal victory. I lifted all of my body parts and even got two back workouts in. I lifted with Duane Friday night to show him a killer back routine. I had an awesome week of lifting. Leg pressed and squatted 300 pounds which is a new record for me. I showed increases in my chest and in my arm workouts as well. My cardio leg workout rocked! I went into the gym not knowing what I was going to do but came out with a killer workout and some new tricks!

I got in two somewhat long rides. One was 28 miles and the other 25. Good solid mileage. I swam twice. Sunday's swim was tough after the ride and Alex imitated open water swimming. I so wanted to touch the bottom and the sides! :) The pool was still closed on Wednesday so Kathy and I took the Polar Bear plunge on Thursday. It was so COLD! I never got warm and I didn't want to stop. It was crazy and as usual, a good time with Kathy!

Last week on Wednesday night was Guinness and the Good News. I had a good time and we had a really good conversation about friendship. I needed that. Thursday night I ran errands and on Friday morning I woke up to more snow! Ugh! I did make it to work and me and the gang hit the Mellow Mushroom for lunch. It was so much fun. Friday night, I went to dinner with Pam and Duane and David and after dinner I hung out with David until 4am! It was crazy and at times I felt like the old woman!

I slept til 11am Saturday! LOL! Hit the gym and then came home and got ready for Alex's dinner party. What a GREAT time we had. The food was amazing and the company even better. I got to know Alex's parents better and I want to adopt them! Ellen gave us some good news (think baby)! Kathy made some amazing desserts and I had the never ending wine glass! I am truly blessed for having those ladies in my life. Without them, I think I would go crazy. Here's a picture from that night! Thanks Alex!

Sunday saw church, grocery shopping, a bike ride, a swim and a Super Bowl Party at the Campbell's. The chili was super and the company was well worth the loss of sleep!

It's going to be another crazy week. I went today and bought a new bathing suit! Look out pool- here I come. I also got a bag, new goggles, and hand paddles. I now feel like a swimmer! :) I ran 2 miles tonight. It was rough. My leg is still sore. Got in my ab workout which always puts me in a bad mood! Trying to get over it!

So here's to another week! The game is still on and I promise not to let another week go by!
