So...I've been very busy this week. I am the Fundraising Chair for the Tampa Bay Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers and besides coordinating the smaller fundraisers, it means I'm in charge of the big one - Bowling for Rhinos (BFR) - and it was yesterday. Despite my work schedule and getting prepped for BFR, I managed to maintain my Week 1 training. No excuses!
Thursday was a rest day, and I rested the hell out of it. Well, I had a dinner date, but I rested before and after. The resting went better than the date. One more episode of Downton Abbey: Season Three to go.
I ran about 3 miles on Friday - on the treadmill at the work gym during lunch. Again. This is only going to work on these short distances...I'm going to have to get up early eventually.
And finally, today. After a dramatic accident at work involving a riding mower, I was a little banged up (scrapes on my wrist and forearm, and some raspberries on my back and butt), but okay. Thankfully. I had two thoughts: 'I'm glad I'm okay' and 'No excuses!' It's probably better to keep moving anyway and not allow my body to tighten up. So, when I got home, after checking on the five dogs I'm currently dog-sitting, I went 30 minutes on the elliptical at my apartment's newly-renovated gym. Pretty nice.
Tonight, I had some vanilla ice cream (give me a break!) with Kahlua (there it is!) at a friend's house whilst sitting in her hot tub. And now, I'm back to relaxing at my other friend's house with her five dogs. The three chihuahuas will be my heat packs for the night. Ready for sleep!
