to zumba or not to zumba

it's monday evening and i'm getting ready for a long week at work. i'm spent from the weekend. now usually it's my own fault, but this time i was good. after my 8 mile run, i went home, showered, did some errands and then went to a birthday party at a tequila bar/restaurant. i know what you are thinking, but i was the designated driver! some margarita at the beginning and that was it. i had dinner, conversation, drove home and went to bed.

sunday morning part 1:
i got up.
walked to zumba.
took class.
walked home and picked up dim sum along the way.

class was great! my knee wasn't. i know i'm supposed to cross train and i usually don't jump in class, but when you're into it... you know how it goes. i think i hyper extended it in the morning, but being the stubborn kind of gal that i am, i still went on... i did take it easy though. i either have to behave or give up zumba until after my run. i walked home and crawled back into bed.

sunday morning part 2:
another birthday~ this time peter pan tickets and an early dinner. the show started at 1pm. no time for my afternoon run. so after my 30 minute nap, i jumped out of bed and did a quick 2 mile jog.

note to self: do not just get out of bed and run... not sure about you, but my body was still asleep! i should have given myself time to get up, but i only had 30 minutes. the plan was run to starbucks and back. i tried to keep my pace the same as it was last thursday when i did the 8:42 minute mile, and it felt like that, but i was actually running 13 minute miles.

i made it back home with just enough time to shower and get to the embarcadero for peter pan.
show. kettle corn. ferry building. miette. dinner. home. i was exhausted!
home by 8pm. in bed at 8:15pm.

2 miles
26:20 minutes
13:10 minute mile

monday morning:
did i just sleep 12 hours?! i did... and i'm still tired. i just wanted to crawl back into bed.. however it's monday which means training session and work. my core is weak. other parts of me are stronger... just not all of me. workouts usually give me energy, and i can be sore after... the workout was good, but i'm still tired and achey. now for work.

monday evening:
home. fed. tired. i've got to figure out why i'm so run down, since it all starts again on tuesday.
