Boot Camp July 26, 2006

woke up at 5 am to go to my first boot camp.  it is called outdoor fitness club.  the couple that runs it is extremely nice!  ran, did sprints, ran up hills, sprints, core exercises, sit ups, push ups….at the end you get a naked juice!  i am going to try to go 1-2 times a week.  just really need something to motivate me to work out.  i have no desire to do anything.  i need a kick in the butt!  www.outdoorfitnessclubs.com

today the cafe downstairs from my office is serving up tator tot hot dish.  it is an office favorite.  i attempted to make tator tot hot dish for the first time last week for my co-workers.  it was quite delish!  oh, the things that we look forward to!

tonight having some friends over to watch project runway.  should be fun if i can stay awake.  already very sleepy.

off to another day.  i just adore summer.

Virgin Blog July 25, 2006

Hello world!

This is my virgin blog on wordpress.  I’ve written a couple of blogs before but decided that this would be a great outlet for me.  I have journal-ed in the past.  It has always helped clear my mind and center my thoughts.  Plus, reading back over past thoughts, life declarations, always makes me smile.

This week I am working 4 10 hour days and have Friday off.  My company lets us do that twice during the summer.  It is a nice little perk.  I have booked a spa morning…I can not wait!  Facial, massage, and brow wax!  Heaven!  Unfortunately, I then have to drive to Rochester and take my childhood dog Mari to be put to sleep.  She is 18 1/2 years old and has had a great life…it is her time to go.  It is going to be extremely difficult, but I want to be there when it happens.  I want her to know how much I love her.

Went for a run this morning with my friend Jill.  She is moving to Philly next week.  I do not know how I am going to motivate myself to get up and run in the am without her.  She is my workout partner in crime.  I met her though marathon training 8 years ago.  She moved a week later to DC.  We have remained friends ever since! We signed up for a short tri on a whim as neither of us have ever done one.  We have not trained at all.  I think I am still going to attempt it, but am very nervous about the swim. We will see!

I am signing off….I expect today to be nothing short of fabulous!
