• This has been such a “is it Friday yet?” week. I’m so ready for the weekend.
  • I did something crazy this morning – slept in until 6:20! It felt good, even thought it was weird not to work out before work. I’m really trying to listen to my body though. And I had already decided to take leave and do a run this afternoon anyway.
  • I’m considering running a half marathon toward the end of October. I can’t decide if I want to sign up now, when it’s a little bit cheaper, or wait until it gets closer and see how I feel about it.
  • I tried the HIIT class at WWM Fitness on Tuesday. I was intimidated by it, but felt encouraged to try after another student told me it was manageable. And it was! It was hard, but fun. We did cardio outside (I was the last on most drills except the running, ha!) then 3 rounds of lifting inside with only 15 secs rest between compared to the usual 30 in the other classes. I was drenched in sweat but felt good, and I really enjoyed flipping the 250 lb tire!

A lot of people have asked if this class is CrossFit similar after seeing this photo. It’s not. 

  • I broke another dish Monday. This time I was moving a pot I had just washed to the drying mat and hit the bowl with it and the bowl cracked. I got a small piece of glass in my finger that Steven was easily able to pull out with his fingers.

  • Notice I haven’t talked about the garden in ages? Oops. It’s been a bit neglected. The tomatoes and cucumbers are still coming in strong. The week I was in Denver it was really hot here and a lot of the small tomatoes cracked and that attracted (created?) gnats. So we went through and tried to get all the bad tomatoes out to get rid of them. But we haven’t been out there as much as we should be.

  • Steven made some tomato sauce last night using our produce that was delish, though!

  • I found out I have to go to a work thing in under two weeks that requires clothes that are a bit more professional (read: less fun) than what I wore to the Denver work thing. Eek. I need to find out if I have pants or dresses that fit and meet the bill. I really hope I don’t have to shop.
