Baby it's Cold Outside!

I'm not sure I ever posted a recap of the Tower of Terror 10 Miler, so I'll do that sometime soon.

School keeps me busy, as well as the kids' activities and working night-shift.  I'm now officially nocturnal, as it's nearly 2am and I can't sleep.  Of course, I'm "on-call" for the hospital tonight, so it's nights like this that I can't sleep for fear of missing my phone ringing.

This week the weather has been so odd.  It started out way too hot...which meant treadmill running.  And now, as I listen to the wind howling, it's a brisk 50 degrees outside.

I've "run" 3 miles twice this week.  Not quite run non-stop, as my knee is killing me...a sure sign I may need to bite the bullet and invest in another pair of new shoes.  But anywho, I was moving forward rapidly for 3 miles in a row twice this week.  Monday night I hit the gym to run on the treadmill and strength train.  And Wednesday morning, I met my BFF at our favorite park and we did our thing for 3 miles.  We'll meet up again tomorrow morning, even though it's supposed to be quite chilly!  I've already got my clothes set out and am ready to go.

The hubby and I watched "Fat Head" this week on Netflix.  It was great to really talk about the food we are putting into our bodies.  Let's face it, with 3 kids in sports, full-time graduate school and full-time work...I don't always have the time/energy to make a real meal, and we find ourselves grabbing food on the go quite a bit.

I've also had ZERO soda this week at work.  Soda at work seems to be my weakness.  I like the caffeine/sugar rush to keep me awake when I'm getting tired at 3am.  I've been sticking to my ice water in my Patriots tervis tumbler.

Overall, it's been a pretty successful week for exercise and diet.  Tomorrow is Friday, I am planning to walk/run 3 miles in the morning and possibly hit up the gym for some strength training.  I have a date with my 7 year old son for dinner tomorrow night, and haven't quite decided where we are going.
