I accomplished nothing this weekend. Slept through my alarm for a Bike Ride this Saturday and no motivation to run this morning.
I guess I have to start over on Monday.

Still Hanging in There
I know it is been a long time but EVERYTHING is kicking my ASS!!! EVERYTHING!! Work, Home – I just feel like I am being put through the ringer. So there has been no time for blogging.
Anyway, believe or not I have been training and I started to go to a nutritionist because I am tired of working as twice as hard as everyone else and half as fast. I stated my Detox for two weeks I was doing good until Mother’s Day! I got back on track today (yes 4 days later…DON’T JUDGE ME lol)
Anyway, I went to swim practice with the TNT last week (J&J couldn’t make it to Montclair last Thursday) . It was a good practice. I am making progress I am actually completing work outs within the hour. Well practice ends and it is time to go home get to my locker and what happens?!?! I can’t open my lock…I know these numbers 12-22-10, 12-22-10, 22-21-10, 17-25-10. This goes on for another 30 minutes. All my teammates have taken showers. One of my teammates was like “You are so calm I would be freakin out” Well I was too tired to freak out and this is how my whole week was LOL. Anyway she offered to go to the front desk so I wouldn’t have to walk out in my suit. Another teammate (my coaches sister) hung out with me until I get showered and dressed. We went to eat and had a great conversation. It is so nice when people are kind. It does make you feel a little bit better at the end of the day.
The good thing is I am getting to know my new teammates better.
So Saturday I just ran 4 miles and then hung out with my girls at the SELF Work Out at Central Park. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN. Of course my legs were silly putty which was not good for my Bike ride on Sunday. Good thing one of my new teammates was with us and she is a little slow.
Sunday (Mother’s Day) well I meet my Mentor King James and another teammate to attempt to do a nice ride. It was a beautiful day. Along the ride we bumped into Abigail – It was so good to see her. Anyway, the new girl’s chain fell off and of course I was up and down 3 hills so I wasn’t turning around on the bike. Got to my car, King James had to go, and of course I didn’t have her number because it was blocked so I could call her back. LOL So after many emails and missed phone calls I finally got her and her phone number. She got her chain back on and starting ride and got lost. Ended up some school it was like chasing a target. In the end for her back to homebase and I was on my way home to get ready for dinner.
Monday and Tuesday at work until 9pm so I missed swim practice and a bike ride. I was disappointed. I am actually looking forward to these practices. Wednesday I went to the running clinic LOL That was no clinic that was practice. Running around that freakin track. Please note I don’t like running. It is an necessary evil. Uggghh. I finished it though. At the end, when they said run at a slower pace – I was walking LOL. I can say this I am making progress. Now for most this is nothing but I did 5 miles in 1 hr and 12min and 4 miles in 55 min. I have been sticking to this run walk method. 2 min run 2 min walk. It does work and I actual smile at the end. My goal is to run better than an 1 hour and 40 minutes for 6 miles. And YES I am going to make that goal on June 26th and August 28th. I want to do 6 miles in an hour. That would be awesome. A girl can dream can’t she LOL.
