Count down begins...

My last week as a single lady but somehow it doesn't feel like much will change :-)   We are currently debating deciding whether I am going to change my last name or not.  My two main arguments are 1) it's too much work and 2) my current last name flows so much better  I'm not getting much support with either argument so I guess I will be changing it. 

Had some ups and downs this weekend but ended on a good note so I'm holding on to that!  On Friday I had to skip my workout because I had to take the doggy in for some shots because my better half who had scheduled the appointment said he wasn't going to be able to make it.  So that's that...  no comment ;-)

Sat. went for a run now this was supposed to be a 13 mile run in training for my half marathon.  I woke up still feeling the after effects of recovering from being sick I was really tired but decided to suck it up.  I wanted it to at least be a flat 13 so I drove down to the river trails which is the only place in town you will find relatively flat 13 miles.  The gates were locked!!  I found a random parking lot and decided to start running and would just have to guess how many miles I ran based on time.  Well, I ended up by the ditch running in really lose sand!  I started to get a little lost so I decided to go find my car, I decided it was a sign that I wasn't meant to run the full 13.  In the end I ran 1 hour and was tired but felt good.  I then went to do a 1 hour yoga class which ended up being exactly what I needed!!  After I was done there the stress and tiredness had melted and the knot in my neck was gone.  I drank LOTS of water after. 

I swear the yoga cured me the next day I felt way better!  I woke up and did an awesome spin class for 18.7 miles.  Does cleaning count as exercise because wow I was really tired after cleaning house.  Somehow it is a little more nerve racking when it's his parents that you are cleaning house for instead of your own.  All though my mom is pretty hard critic, she once wrote my name in some dust she found on a piece of furniture!  :-)  In jest I know but I still have to give her a hard time just like she does to me!!

I'm looking forward to 2 short work weeks, 12 family members, TONS of good food, a marraige, a 13 mile run along with lots of other quality workouts to work off all that good food, a Wine Festival, a bike ride so my dad can show off his brand new bike (I have to admit I'm a little jealous, I'll post pics)   I'm sure I will be busy so my posts for the next two weeks may turn out to be mainly pictures! 

What are you looking forward to this week?

I can't believe you run without a Garmin! That's like running blindfolded. :)

LOL at Kara's comment, but that was pretty much what I was thinking, too! Congrats on your impending nuptials!

Congrats on almost being married! I must remember when I'm not feeling 100%, I should do yoga. Great job working around your recovery and listening to your body!

Yeah I know I need to make the switch I have a Polar that gives my HR, time, calories etc. but if I wanted to know distance I'd have to wear a footpod which stopped working. I need an update!!!
