Run, Work, Errands, School, Cook, Study… Pass-OUT!

tired

OK, folks.  I was about ready to go to bed when realized that I haven’t written in a couple of days.  I’m very proud to say that I have achieved my goal of keeping up with my fitness despite my crazy work/ school schedule.  I am now on a lax summer time schedule at work and don’t have to start my days until 9am and get to leave by 2pm.  I ran this morning, I’m going for a bike ride tomorrow, I’m almost finished with my classes, and I’ll be done with work for the summer by next Monday.

Life is good…. If I can just get through the craziness of this next week, It will all be worth it!  Today I Ran, worked, did some errands, went to class, cooked myself some dinner, studied for test, blogged and will now pass out.  In the words of Ryan Seacrest “Cristy, OUT!”

May 10th: We’re So Cultured!

I went for my second 20 mile bike ride this Saturday morning… and what an epic fail of a ride it was.  I don’t know if it was because I was exhausted, if I was just having an off day, or if it was the CRAZY gusts of wind that were threatening to push me down the whole ride but, it was NOT a fun ride.
I was obnoxiously slow and sweating profusely the entire ride.  My legs felt like jello and my heart felt like it was trying to escape my body via my throat!  Regardless, the photo above is how I posed at the half way point.  (A view of the ocean is truly a cure-all.) 
 
After the ride, we washed up and headed to my school for the yearly school carnival.  I collected tickets at the dunk tank for a brief while then was relieved of my duties.  We took advantage of having traveled South then headed to the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art.  They had an amazing exhibit of the American painter, William Glackens’ work as well as an exhibit of Civil Rights photography by Ben Adelman and multiple works by artists from the CoBrA era.  Very cool stuff!
Here we are engaging in the interactive display after the CoBrA exhibit….  🙂

April 7th and 8th: Lazy Funk

laziness

I am really grateful for having had such a fun and active weekend but, to be honest, Monday and Tuesday evenings were rough!

I usually change my clothes the minute I come home from work and prepare to go out for either a run or a bike ride.  But on Monday when I walked through the door of my house, the only thing I could think to do was EAT.  I was so hungry and fatigued that I ate dinner at 4:30 pm.  I told myself that I would give myself an hour to digest my food then go for a run at 5:30…. 5:30 rolled around and I was on the couch spooning with my dog Max, fast asleep.

Tuesday evening was similar.  I had all the good intentions in the world to go for a quick run before I went out to see a Panthers Hockey Game…  That only resulted in yet another early dinner and cuddle session with my yorki-poo.

Plan for Wed… bring a bigger lunch so I’m not so hungry when I get home and don’t think so much about whether or not I want to run when I get home.  Just get dressed AND GO!
