Today's workout was probably the hardest of the year. I did not want to go to my sister's this morning. I wanted to pretend the alarm clock wasn't going off at 5:00 am. I wanted to roll over and sleep til 9, but I shut it off, got up and headed out. That's what having workout partners will do for moods like mine. I arrived with no coffee because I didn't want to be late, and we were off. Six LONG miles with a mile-long hill at marker 4.5. We walked twice; once when my sister rolled her ankle and fell (no damage other than ego), and then after the LONG hill. My legs were burning and I had a cramp in my butt! I whined the entire time.
When we got back, I changed into bike shorts, downed a pint of water and a Guu and hopped on the bike. My "too perky for words" sister decided on the 22 mile route. THANK GOODNESS that the skies darkened and we cut it short by 7 miles or so to escape the Lightning and hail. I was SO unmotivated. I was cursing every hill and bump in the road. I wanted to be anywhere but on a bike. What the heck was wrong with me? All I can say was that I was SO glad to be done. I was spent.
And now I get to hang with the family, go to the movies and chill on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow I work from 730-1200 guarding. RECOVERY DAY!
OH - and I weighed in at 5:00 am at 190.0. I am going to work on this, and I will weigh in at a new number come next Saturday. I know that getting on the scale every day is right for me, so that's my new plan - along with my healthy choices and portions!
