Hi everyone!

Sorry about the drivers license thing, Sherry. I feel for you. I once left for a dog event, 5 hours drive away, without my wallet. I didn't find out until an hour into the drive. To make it worse, that day my ez-pass (that is designed to automatically pay my tolls on the highway) stopped working (also my fault). So I'm stuck with no license, no money, and an hour from home on a toll road that I can't pay for. Missed the dog event. Not one of my best days, made worse because all of it was due to my mistakes.

Had a nice exercise day yesterday. Ran to the trainer workout. Had a substitute trainer, but she had instructions from my regular trainer on what I was to do. Then ran home. I was late getting started so I really ran as fast as I could for the mile and a half up there. Since there was no rush getting home last night and the later, the cooler, I stayed on the rowing machine longer than I usually do, and so got more time in. I'm pleased with my leg muscles in that I think that they are improving and will continue to improve, but not very happy with my arm strength, or lack of it. I like the rower because it's one of the few cardio machines that really also works my arms (and core).

Slept in this morning and didn't get to bootcamp. It's really hard to get myself up and out to something like that after having a workout the evening before. I might go to metobolic conditioning class tonight, or take a long walk with the dogs, or just take a rest day. I'm not sure, but have no plans to run.

We all make mistakes… my husband accidentally threw his passport away three weeks before our honeymoon abroad!

All these hikes and classes and long runs sound very ambitious. My toddler woke me up at 3:30am in desperate, emergent need of cuddles. So I slept through my AM workout. I’m going to try and get in even a short walk today.

Pretty good eating planned for breakfast, lunch & snacks. My hubs wants to make BBQ chicken sand for dinner, not the worst thing in the world but not my top choice.

maureli - i also thought i was going to have a bad time today and it ended up being good! i had a bad headache when i was going to do my yoga, and almost didn't do it. but then i thought, well, i can have a headache and do yoga, or have a headache and not do yoga, so...why not just do the yoga? headache went away within 5 minutes and i had a nice practice. did it later than usual today so i don't have to worry about the early afternoon exhaustion i've been getting (from being out of practice/shape i guess). end of the day at least i can unwind now and not worry about getting more work done.
