Weekend Round Up - Family and Sleep.

I haven't been writing since last week's wonderful half-marathon experience with fellow blogger, Christine. This is mainly because of work and mainly because of I am doing shorter, easier runs. For example,  this week, I did two easy run/walk on the treadmill for about 2 miles each. I am trying to modify my running regime a little to allow me some rest time. I do not have any races planned for this year.  But I still hope that I will get a 10K race in by December. I will see.

The weekend was great. I spent Saturday sleeping, playing on the computer, and reading. A co-worker asked me to go to the movies but I had to turn her down because I thought I was going on a delivery trip with the boyfriend. Turned out we didn't have to, and while I could call her back and rearrange for a movie, I chose to stay home. And spent time with Paddy Wag.  It was a very wise decision.

Sunday was spent catching up on laundry and I promise you I was a super-laundry woman! I think the water heater tank we have at this house is small or too old and there just aren't enough hot water for showers and laundry. I have to time when I shower/laundry. And often times, shower takes precedent over laundry. Thank goodness my clothes are darks. But the boyfriend likes his whites. No wonder we are perfect for each other.  I went to a family get-together later in the evening and played with a toddler and a baby. It is amazing how much bonding I can do with a toddler over a thing of ketchup! Apparently I am cool because I love ketchup! The toddler also taught me how to dance like a ballerina.  Of course, I had to do silly things with my arms and hands and legs. It made her laughed so hard and she finally resigned to the fact that I may not be as good of a ballerina like she is.  Have I already mentioned how much I love my boyfriend's family? :)

So it is back to daylight savings time and I don't really feel like I got cheated out of an hour - probably because I slept too much over the weekend. I can still sleep some more... But tonight, I planned on walking/running on the treadmill to clock in some mileage. And of course, do some planks. I am seriously behind on planks! Ouch Christine! Your challenge is hard!

Sleeping Beauty

I slept so much that if there were judges, they will make Sleeping Beauty relinquish her title and give it to me.

This entire sleep-capade started on Thursday night when I went to bed like any regular adult.
I slept until 5-ish on Friday and then again at around 8-ish in the morning until noonish. Then about 1 p.m., I slept again in my boyfriend's office on a recliner until 4:30 p.m. So I went home, ran, showered and slept again around 7-ish p.m. until around midnight or so.  Then, I was up again working on cleaning my closet and went to bed at around 5-ish a.m. on Saturday until 8-ish and then around 10-ish till 4:30 p.m. 

Random afterthoughts....

1. I missed the gym's opening hours today, which means, I didn't get my run in today.
2. I still feel tired and if I lie down, I can definitely fall asleep again. No kidding.
3. I didn't dream at all. None that I can remember.
4. I can try running in the heat tomorrow. (even though I really don't want to. How about I postpone it to Monday?) 
5. Having my first meal of the day - McDonald's. Gee! I know. Don't judge.  

I sing the blues

1. RAN 3 miles in 34:33 mins.  HIT the weights machine and did some hip adduction and abduction - 35 lbs, 12 reps, 3 sets and  80lbs, 12 reps, 3 sets
   Did some seated leg curls @ 35 lbs 12 reps 3 sets. 
2. The 4:49 a.m. alarm came too early.  I had a rough night sleeping. Something just doesn't feel right and it was a whole lot of tossing and turning and getting anxious about not sleeping enough and then, feeling guilty when I entertained the thought of playing hooky (from running).  Nonetheless, I got up. 
3. The news was on. Thank goodness I didn't have any earphones on to listen to what's wrong with the world.  Seems like the whole world is going k-k-krazy! Yeah, how's some depressing sad news to start a Tuesday?
4. Tuesdays. I never ever have Monday blues. Tuesdays? Gee..... blue blue blue! I love Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays and don't really care for Saturdays because it is just a sad brutal reminder of how close the weekend is coming to an end.
5. Gee! I am having a serious case of Tuesday Blues! Sorry folks! 
6. On a brighter note, I woke up laughing. My bestfriend texted me from Singapore and she made me laughed out loud. 
7. And yesterday, she woke me up with another text message and made me feel totally excited!!! 
8. Today, I will log my first 100 miles for 2011. 
9. I am really trying to love my Nike Tempos shorts......
10. Chafing ... sigh ....
11. I think I might have runner thighs? Juicy thighs?
