So I see I haven't blogged since Wednesday because I had nothing to write. I didn't work out. In fact, I didn't move much. I spent the whole weekend relaxing. D and his boys were in Fawnskin, bonding with Dave B so I was planning a weekend of QUIET.
My ZEN PLACE (boring to some, but needed for my mental health):
Friday night I was asleep on the couch by 9pm. Woke up Saturday around 7am. Spend most of the day sitting in my backyard with my dog (even she didn't run around or bark much), contemplating what the next project will be, listening to the birds (AKA quiet), watching the baby lizard running around, bonding with the squirrel who came and hung out a bit above my skychair, looking for the hummingbird to come around to the strategically placed feeder, etc. Finally around 3 I decided to leave the house, go to Armstrongs Nursery and spend my GC from Christmas. Worked on my drip irrigation, planted a new fern and fushia (hopefully I'll keep these alive this time). Then back to the skychair to admire my renewed "woodland" area.
Later than evening I met other BC/Crossfitters for a Girls Night Out that consisted of an evening at CAWine & Cheese and then the chick-flick Mamma Mia. What a fun night full of laughing, wine and an interesting audience participation movie.
Damm that Jane! She was talking about the next events. After the AR I swore I was done with races until next year. ALL RACES! With the mental and physical break I just took, I'm starting to think about the next race. Damm that Jane! Ok I MIGHT still do the sprint AR. Not that I think I can't do it, it's just I was tired and wanted to NOT think about training, racing, working out. I'm starting to think that break is over. No more summer vacation for me!
Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday until 4:30 when the boys came home, talking about what they did over the weekend, what they saw, the hike they went on, the bike ride they did, shooting the BB gun and what they did or did not hit, the Playstation noise in the background, yada yada yada...back to "normal."
So now that the vacation break is over with, and it's the start of a new week, I might open up the maration training schedule to see what's next. Or I might plan a long run, just to get the legs moving and HR up. Also thinking about doing the 200m sprints at the Arcadia track. Oh such options.
