Why am I not on a plane to Louisville?!

(This entry crossposted between Sweets&Sweats and Happiness Awaits)

I have to admit, I am very sad that I’m not heading to Louisville. I have been heading to the grand state of Kentucky on the first Friday of the Month of May for 3 of the last 5 years.  When I was watching the Today show this morning and they were talking about the Derby, I did get a bit sad that I wasn’t going.  And I got chills watching recaps of last year’s race.

Good thing we are heading to Atlantic City tomorrow where we can still gamble on horses!  We are packing up the MB tomorrow morning, picking up Chris and Kim in Sterling and heading to the wonderful state of New Jersey.  The four of us get way too out of control. 

Here are a few recaps of previous debaucheries:

Especially when there is alcohol involved.  So I go ahead and warn you that our photos and stories may be a little bit crazy….or maybe we have matured by now.  Who knows?

 

Last night we did get to go to the driving range.  The weather was definitely threatening and windy, but I had a blast anyway.  I hit MUCH better than I expected to seeing I haven’t hit a golf ball in 3 years and in that time frame I have gotten a full reconstructed $50,000 knee that is full of screws.  I wasn’t sure if I would be comfortable with all the twisting.  My knee felt fine and I hit the ball perfectly straight.  I still need to get re-accustom to my swing, but otherwise…I’m ready to hit the holes!

and my lovely self photo…What can I say, it was very windy, so sorry for the crazy, unkept hair!

And speaking of Justin…I had to steal a quick photo of me allowing him to drive my car.

Seeing he definitely help bankroll this purchase, I’m sure he will scoff at me allowing him to drive.

All in all, yesterday was a wonderful day.  Work sucked, but well, when does work not suck?  I have a customer that hates me and attempts to force me into the looney bin on a daily basis.  But I left around 5:40 and still was able to get to the driving range.  Seems pretty good to me!

Yesterday over lunch I hit the gym and did this total body workout from Women’s Health.  This is the one I have been doing for the last 3 weeks that has left me quite sore (not the ab one though..that one can be found here).  Anyway, I have gotten stronger and I can DEFINITELY notice a difference in the definition of my arms.  Sexy!  Anyway, the hardest workout on this are the Plank with Front Raise and the Sumo Squat and Crunch.  I am dripping sweat after those!  Today I am sore in my upper body and in my thighs/butt.  And it is one of those sorenesses that I love.  I just can tell I’m toning up!

Today I am going to run on the treadmill over lunch and then tomorrow morning I am planning on waking up early enough to go out and do a run.  I think it is supposed to be raining, so hopefully it’ll only be a drizzle and fairly warm so that I can still get the workout in before we leave for a few hours of eating and drink.  I know I’ll be glad I worked out!

Have a great Friday!!!

And in honor of heading to New Jersey in the morning, I figured I’d live you with a little NJ happiness:

Summary



About Me: 28-year old, fairly newlywed (Spring 2007) that lives in Northern VA. Work full time, love my job, have an unfortunately long daily commute.

While an obsessive long distance runner, I am still trying to recover from 2 major knee surgeries. Atleast I am able to (semi) run again.

In the past, I definitely have not always fed my body correctly to support all the running I did. Simply put, my aim was to be the smallest weight/size possible. Now, my aim is to eat healthy, well rounded and simply to enjoy as much of life without worry about the calorie content and what the tenth of a pound the scale is showing me.
