1. iPod – I am one of those people that need prefer music to run to. My iPod wasn’t working the other day at the gym and I thought I had charged it the night before, but maybe I was wrong. So I plug it in last night and the little orange light indicates it is charging. I walk by it later and the light is off. Apparently, it isn’t continuing to charge. IT is currently plugged into my work computer, and nothing. Guess it is time to finally install iTunes on my computer and start buying songs. Might need to buy a new iPod. Need to make a list of songs, good thing I love my lists.
2. Running – I think I have figured out my next big running goal. A sub4 hour marathon at White Rock (Dallas Marathon). That race is Dec 8, and should be cool enough. I ran Chicago in 4:10:21 and have gotten faster and had more long runs under my belt. So hopefully I can pull it off. Just have to be diligent with the training again. I think I can, I think I can.
3. Gym – has been going really good. I am able to lift at least twice a week, sometimes I get a third day in. Monday is my leg day and Thursday is my arm day. If I make it on Wednesday I try and left the circuit/full body. Been increasing the weights and playing around with the reps/sets. I can definitely tell a difference in strength and am starting to actually see improvement in my arms. Spin class is definitely back to being a staple in my life. I think I have been the last 4 weeks straight!
4. Nutrition – Been going pretty good. On the weekends I have been making egg white scrambled eggs with veggies. Made some taco ground turkey and mixed it with brown rice, corn, tomatoes and avocados for a taco salad type thing. I think I have had 2 pops in the past month/month and a half. One of those pops I dumped most of it out because it was too sweet for me. My newest plan is to bring in a pitcher of water to work and make flavored water out of fruit. Plus it will save me about 6 trips to the kitchen per day at work. Here is where I got my flavor ideas.
5. Shopping spree – Somehow I got the bug to spend some money, which rarely happens to me. I hate shopping mainly because I hate crowds, sales people and spending my money. That being said I went on an online shopping spree this week. May is one of the months that I get the third paycheck (paid 26 times per year, normally 2 per month, but 2 months you get the 3rd check). I think of them as bonuses. I bought orange compression socks, signed up for a few races, jeans and several tops. They should all arrive next week!
