Work Outs
And as for this weekend, I’m hoping to get two good days of skiing in. I’ve mentioned that I was feeling a little frumpy late this week, so I’m glad that I was able to get some good sweat sessions in to counter balance that. Life is ALL about balance, right?
That’s a total of:
Grub
You know I had some good grub this week . . . between the meals I had on my own and the meals with the hubby. Lots of good eats.
And we know my favorite treat of the week:
Ahhhh the cookie batter cookies. YUM! Make them now!

Time for the Friday Happy Dance everyone!
Zach and I are spending the weekend in the mountains enjoying some Spring skiing, so let’s just say I’m looking forward to 5 PM :). I switched up my routine a bit this morning and hopped the lightrail.
As always, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the ride was. The only bummer about my lightrail days are having to leave my apartment about 20-30 minutes earlier than normal. . . but there really is something relaxing about just sitting back and enjoying the ride.
Let’s backtrack to before this morning though, shall we?
Last Night
First and foremost: Did anyone watch the SLU game last night? I’m not a huge March Madness lady, but when my alma mater comes back from a double digit deficit to win in overtime, I’m invested!
We enjoyed an AWESOME meal to go along with the awesome game.
Glazed salmon with a tomato and moz salad. That combo never dissapoints.
I was in a bit of a funk yesterday (blame it on the rest day), so I ended the evening with a nice little walk with Gusman to help end the day on a good note. I think this REALLY helped because I woke up this morning feeling a million times better and ready to tackle a good work out.
Workout of the Day:
I did 10 minutes warm up (including 3 minute walking to start) 20 minutes of speed work, and 10 minutes of cool down (including 3+ minutes of walking). I’ve started trying to begin my morning runs with a few minutes of walking to wake up the legs, and they seem to be responding well to it.
And now, it’s time to put in a good days work then head up to the slopes! I’ll be back later today with a round up of the week!
Question of the Morning: Are you into March Madness? Who’s your favorite?
