Week Goals

It would be wise of me to set weekly goals and put them out to the world here!

Let’s get started:

1. Run 2 today
Yoga on Tuesday
Body Pump Wednesday
Run 4.5 Thursday
Body Pump Saturday
East Nasty Run – Sunday. Annnnnd >> it’s supposed to be 50 on Sunday, yay!

2. Eat cleaner. Totally eliminate white flour & rice this week. I have already failed at this once today, but it’s never to late to start again.

3. Be cleaner. Geeeezzz I will try my hardest, but these kids I have put here on this good green earth are a constant saboteur of my cleaning!! Organization fairy, help me find space in my 1400 sqft home?!?!?!

4. Plan a trip to Art & Invention this week. Anybody game?

Remember these things Brecca, for they are important and written to you by the person who loves you most, yourself. xoxo

After 2 weeks ago with my 5k time trial run & with my stomach bug, then the 1 amazing week of training, now sitting here on my 2nd day of the real FLU! All I want to do is body pump & run in my head, but my body is begging me to get well and rest. I am going to be well enough to do body pump on Sat & run on Sunday. I just might not be as strong as if I had a really healthy week. We will see. East Nasty meets in Percy Warner for the first time, the hills will be good training. I hear there is a new CMM 1/2 course this year and the hill difficulty will be serious. I better get well and get back to training.

Yoga this week was crazy intense. I loved the rythmatic flow of the substitute teacher’s moves. It’s funny how thoughts are realized in real life. I was thinking about how much I love the voice and sounds of my teacher Wendy, and how I was hesitant to try a different class because of this strange loyalty I felt to Wendy’s class. But then when I showed up, there was a new instructor about to start, different mat, different set up. BUT omg, She moved me into a place I have not entered with yoga breath. We did a 50 second meditation before we began, and focusing on my breath before the movement started really helped me find that space and breath in the hardest of positions.

What really bit me in the ass about it all is this flu is a coughing flu, and my abs were so sore from her class EVERY time I cough, I feel my whole cage tense up. hahaha
