I feel good....

Last night, after working I decided to try out my hotel's fitness center. I'm glad I did. I was a little nervous about the glass windows, but I guess everyone else was watching the College football championship game. It was cool having the whole place to myself.

I've also been eating healthy for the most part....I stocked up on healthy foods for my mini fridge in my hotel. I'm glad I did.

The room didn't have any fans, so it was incredibly hot in there. I started off with a stationary bike workout and did 5.8 miles in 20 minutes. Then I did a treadmill workout for a mile. I wanted to run longer, but the heat was killing me!

The best thing about working out at night, is that I sleep so much better AND I felt great this morning! I felt so refreshed and had more energy than usual. I'm going to try and remember this is why I do this!

My business trip will be over soon and I'll get to go back home to my family. I miss them and I need to get back to MY gym. I have 2 5k's in March and want to be prepared.

Long week - for a short one

I always think I'm going to have an easy work week especially when there's a 3 day weekend involved. This week was not the case. And its not over yet. Sometimes I feel like this....

My desk doesn't look quite this bad....

I am glad Friday is almost here. I need a few days to recharge. I'm glad I already made an appointment for my monthly massage after work tomorrow.

Other plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to get some running in since I have totally been a slacker this week. My excuse....work. With my job, the first few weeks of every month are busy with deadlines that cause me to work longer hours. It seems literally impossible to get to the gym on those kind of days. If only I were a morning person....

I also look forward to spending time with my family over the weekend. Football time is here and we love that here in the south. Especially college football.

All decked out for football!!!

I'm trying not to plan too much this weekend, because next weekend will be a busy one! It's going to be my daughters' 17th birthday weekend and we have lots to do. So here's to relaxing, running and re-charging.

Have a wonderful weekend!
