Night and Day Run

What a fun filled weekend!  I really needed a few days off at home.  The stress of school and craziness of running around was really getting to me.  I feel much more refreshed and ready to go today!

So I’m not going to tell you what I did all weekend.  Basically, it was restaurant week in Atlantic City.  I ended up making it to two restaurants and I will write specific blogs about those!  I also tried a new breakfast joint yesterday and I will write a Local Eats blog about that too.  That leaves a bunch of time spent with Rob and some shopping at the outlets (where I got the cutest raincoat! but no picture).  So today will be a fitness recap!

Sunday, I was scheduled to run 8 miles with Lauren first thing in the morning.  Rob somehow convinced me to do Cardio Recovery (Insanity DVD) with him on Friday so by the time Sunday rolled around, I was still really sore.  I still went to Lauren’s and we headed out.

What a difference between Thursday’s Run and this one!  Thursday, I was raring to go and Sunday, I wanted to crawl the whole 8 miles.  Luckily, Lauren’s friend Kat was with us and she really set the pace.  I pushed myself really well but had to take walking breaks after mile 5 due to feeling a little overheated.  I managed to finish out though!  But seriously, I felt like crap and looking at my heart rate map afterwards, you can even tell from that!

Look how it is all over the place!  Usually, it is much more consistent than that!!  I am happy that I was able to do it though, despite being sore!  Its rest time from here on out.  I might run a few miles tomorrow or Wednesday but not much.  I am riding my bike to school this week though.  That’s right!  I got a bike for school!  Its only 1.5 miles but its better than driving it!

That’s it for now!  To end, I haven’t done a Spooky Photo of the Week in… like over a year.  But she was just too cute this weekend.  I found her pushing all sorts of buttons on my laptop several times this weekend.  What a cutie!
