<\/p>\nSo I’m super behind.\u00a0 I now owe the internets a cruise recap (ffs, haven’t even had time to go through the pictures yet, and I’m only halfway through, thank goodness for notes I wrote or my little goldfish brain would forget what I did!), and now an awesome birthday weekend recap.\u00a0 The short version is I ate awesome food:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…and drank good wine:<\/p>\n

…and got purdy flowers:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
…but now it is time to get back to business.\u00a0 Because yesterday, we got this guy a new bike…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
…and when we rode it, I felt like the little yippie dog trying to keep up with the german shepard, my legs and lungs were NOT ready for a 12 mile outside ride.\u00a0 I can only imagine what running is going to be like.<\/p>\n
So it’s time to get back to business this week.\u00a0 I’m not sick, I’m not injured, and it’s time to rock.\u00a0 This week, it’s back to normal, non-babypants workouts, if maybe a little lower intensity (I don’t want to kill myself, but I need to get back into things)<\/p>\n
Here’s the PLAN:<\/p>\n
Monday: swim (need one more day of low intensity, I feel like CRAP after all the birthday indulgence)
\nTuesday: run
\nWednesday: yoga
\nThursday: bike
\nFriday: off
\nSaturday: long bike ride, or medium ride and run outside
\nSunday: off<\/p>\n
This might shift around a bit as I’ll be trying to hit it outside as much as possible, I just want to make sure I get 4 good quality workouts + yoga this week.\u00a0 Distances, paces, times don’t matter.\u00a0 I’ll start worrying about that next week.<\/p>\n
The next couple months is getting busy.\u00a0 Potential spring schedule…<\/p>\n
March 19th – Warrior Dash
\nMarch 26th – Du Loop
\nEDIT: crap, just signed up for… April 17th – Rookie Triathlon
\nApril 30th – Hell Run
\nEDIT: crap, also want to do… May 14th – Muddy Buddy
\nMay 21st – Gladiator Games 5k and Obstacle Course
\nMay 28th – Spread your wings adventure race
\nJune 11th – Shammies and Koozies – ride and float<\/p>\n
Mostly fun races, but I am looking to beat my time at Warrior Dash, Du Loop, and GGs (though it’s my overall 5k PR – so I will have to work at it).<\/p>\n
I also really, really need to keep on this weight thing.\u00a0 Oddly enough, I feel like I LOST over the cruise, and GAINED this last week, and I felt LESS bloated there.\u00a0 So it’s definitely not dairy, gluten, wheat, or any of the regular offenders that I’m allergic to, as while I didn’t PIG, I definitely didn’t eat my normal rabbit food.\u00a0 I did eat lots of stuff that wasn’t light, diet, or low fat, so maybe there is something there… hmmm…<\/p>\n
This week, I’m back to tracking, and attempting 1500 calories a day.\u00a0 I am also waiting to weigh until Wednesday to get some of this birthday bloat away.\u00a0 I am, frankly, too chicken to do it today.\u00a0 So there.<\/p>\n
Aight, more later, at least one of the recaps this week, and back to life and reality.\u00a0 Happy Monday!<\/p>\n
