Busy Weekend Ahead
January is already proving to be a busy month and it is only the 6th day of it!
Running after Sunday's marathon has been non-existent. (I could have run on Monday as I felt the best that I've had after a 30K or greater - maybe because the heat and humidity kept me from wearing out my legs as much perhaps, but I had plenty to do and had family over for an early turn-out-to-be birthday celebration.) However, I hit Bally's today after getting in from Indianapolis this morning for a challenging hour and 45-minute cardio workout. (As I've stated before, it is a mental pick-me-up and for me, it works!) The 45 minutes was spent on the elliptical trainer going at level 15, random at 4.46 miles. That's on par for almost 6 miles for my typical hour workout.
I had to go out to the truck to take a conference call for work and when I went back in, I spent another hour on the stationery bike cranking out a little over 21 miles and tried to make sure that I kept the rpm's on the level 6 random setting between 90 and 100 the entire time.
But I need to make it more challenging and get with a personal trainer to do some weight work to start toning my upper body. (I'll be talking about goals or - rather, in my mind - needs for the upcoming year in another post this weekend.)
My project in Indiana will end next week and despite the great people that I've become acquainted and come in contact with, it will end none too soon. The very cold weather, with stiff winds -at times - and precipitation, is very uninspiring and saps any desire to do much of anything after hours. (Plus there were two football games - notably Penn State's win over Florida State and the USC-Texas contest.) I'll be in Atlanta the week after - from the 17th to the 19th - for some additional system training and will then be in a position to start a project in Vancouver, British Columbia. (I may have a down week or two.)
What's on schedule for the rest of the weekend?
Friday
+ New non-running tennis shoes (although I don't plan on playing tennis anytime soon.)
+ Register Waverly and myself for the Rockets Run at Luke's Locker on West Gray
+ Go to two high school basketball games of the Lone Star Shootout at Westbury Christian HS tonight
Saturday
+ 10 miles in the morning at Memorial Park with the Striders. (Probably going to start at 6:30 a.m. with Jessica.)
+ Come home, shower and referee three (3) basketball games at our church at 11 a.m., 12 noon and 1 p.m.
+ Watch Waverly play at 2 p.m.
+ Come home again, shower and take her to see the HBU Huskies women's team play Saturday night at 5:30 p.m. (We went to San Antonio last Friday to visit their former coach who is now an assistant for Colorado State University's women's team.)
Sunday
+ Go do the Rockets Run 5K downtown and socialize with all of you fine folks who are planning on doing the same!

You plan on squeezing in a little sleep?
Weren't you that guy who didn't sleep for 24 hours before he ran a marathon? :)
I thought so!
My standard line is: I slept on the plane! :)
