I would say I was a weekend warrior because I ran my fastest 5K ever at the GVSU Homecoming race on Saturday. Almost a sub-30!...official time was 30:44. Of course as I got a side stitch a half mile in and spent most of the race bent over in half. This led to extremely sore hamstrings and quads.
Back to 10K training tomorrow though. 25 minute run 1 walk 25 minute run. ROUGH!
This weekend was also a war. I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I think I have just been tired of counting and paying so close attention to what I am eating. So I would say this was not a good weekend. Sometimes I think I just need to "take off". Back to normal tomorrow. Speaking of which means I need to make lunch.
Weekends when I have three home events also take a lot out of me. Friday I had a soccer game and then ended up going out afterwards despite knowing I had to be up before 8 a.m. on Saturday. Woke up on Saturday for the race, did it and then had a pancake breakfast. I was going to stay at work until the game later, but decided that it had plenty of time to go home and shower/nap. Well I definitely did that, but I set my alarm for a.m. instead of p.m. and thus woke up an hour later.
Football did not take too long so I was out by 11:30 and went to the bar for a drink. I definitely didn't need to get a drink or have some chicken tenders, but I did because I hadn't had them in a while. Went to bed early and then today had soccer.
Weekends where I have to work every day definitely takes a lot out of me. So here I am on my couch doing nothing. Sometimes I wish I had a normal job where I was guaranteed a weekend, and other times I know that I love what I do regardless of when I work.
Well back to work tomorrow...and the looking forward to Saturday to celebrate Halloween. May try to make it to a corn maze and get a pumpkin because I have not carved one yet which is pretty depressing.
Until next time,
A
