Is there such a thing as to much fun!?!

As my fabulous weekend unfolded I was thinking this is To Much Fun!!!  Then I thought no there is no such thing as too much fun!  Well, let me tell you I was singing a different tune a couple of days later as I was going on my 3^rd day in a row with  out getting a workout in while going through my second box of Kleenex!!!  I will describe my weekend o’ fun with words, pics, and video.  Then I will describe the week that changed my mind and you can decide for yourself!  I started the weekend off right with a 4.5 mile run that had a nice hill in it, I’m trying to be ready for the World’s Toughest 10k in 2 weeks that is all uphill with over 1,000 feet in elevation gain, I felt great the weather is warming up and the music was speaking to me.  Then I took the pup for a two mile walk and she actually behaved!  I thought wow patience has paid off and she finally has realized who is master. (yeah I found out the next day she still thinks she the boss of me) 

Saturday I got to sleep in a little which was glorious!  I had the time to eat a full breakfast for once, which might make most people cringe because it was a weird combination of left over broccoli rice casserole with an egg on top but hey I do what I can with what I have.  Then my new running buddy (yes I finally have a running buddy woohooo that is willing to put up with my slow running) came to pick me up for our Will Run for Beer 5k.  She convinced me to do a 1.5 mile warm up with her before the race which was the best idea ever because the tendon on the top of my foot was really tight and sore from the uphill run the day before.  Then she kicked butt with her 21 min. 5k and I came in at my pace at a 26.30 5k which I am pleased with and I still have 2 months before my A race so I hope to get it down to 24 or 25 by then.  We had two post-race “carb replacement drinks”  see picture.    That night I hung out with the coolest brother in the world and we played my new Donkey Kong Returns game for Wii, yes I am an adult and yes I still play video games. 

Sunday I spent most of the morning working out between spin class, treadmill, ab work, weights, walking the pup, stretching.  I proceeded to prep next week’s meals (which is a major accomplishment for me) that afternoon while I enjoyed two pre-concert beers.  Sunday I went to a concert which most of you probably won’t know, Juanes, but when imagining what I tell you next and if you watch the video I post from the concert just picture your favorite band crush and imagine how excited I was when as I stared dreamily up at him he looked down at me with a smile and yes, I got a fist bump from my favorite famous crush.  Oh and bonus my friend caught the drumstick and gave it to me for a keepsake!  

Then Monday night I felt it coming on the DREADED Cold.  I thought I can power through this!  But no I have been without a workout since Monday and even had to take a day off from work.  Today will be my first day back with a light weightlifting session then a 1hour swim session.  Wish me luck I need this weekend to get back on track!  So what do you think is there such a thing as too much fun?  I’ve decided even if there is it was totally worth it!!!
