This Weekend

It was a good and interesting weekend.

Friday - I went out with a fellow Aggie Alumni to a poetry jam and a little bit of food. She told me I am not in my Zone yet and I need to get in my Zone. That is how I am going to finish my race. I am committed but no in Zone. So it gave me something to think about. Still thinking....

Saturday - my girl was coming into town to see Jay-Z. So even though I didn't get home until 1 am and I was anemic (inside joke for women). I woke up at 7 am to do my brick training and hopefully find my Zone. I did the training. After running errands and my girlfriend got to my house, we went to the store to use my coupon for running shoes. I never felt sneakers like that before. They feel like you are on cloud nine. Well at least I had a 20% coupon because I never spent that much money on sneakers before, either! Well, JayZ is still the man and Slate is a cool hang out spot in the city.

Sunday - We had good intentions to go to Central Park and test out my sneakers. I didn’t get out of bed until 9 am (5 hours of sleep) so it was too late. My girlfriend is an early bird & exercise freak - so of course she was ready. Instead we met up with another friend in Montclair, had breakfast, did a little shopping and then decided to find a trail at South Mountain Reservation to try out my “cloud nine” sneakers. After an hour of driving around trying to find a spot that wasn't covered in snow we went back to our friend’s apartment and went walking/running around Montclair for 1 hour and 25 mins. Painful but we got it done. My body is still recovering. LOL

So all and all this was a good weekend, had fun and still worked out. So I think I am headed in the right direction.
