Working out some logistics for my upcoming work travel... and somehow have found myself sucked into some youtube time warp black hole...
and much to my happiness... a new Tim Rice-Oxley interview...
I hate that I cant get the videos to embed at the moment... Errr.

Oh well, it is a nice interview... love TRO!
Probably why I have purchased tix to see them yet again in ATL in January.
Very excited!

Running man
I covered about 2.5 miles this morning around the neighborhood. I had the pleasure of being joined by a friend. It was nice. And on my birthday... As I do every birthday over the past few years... I think of another that share this day and does not have that option to go for a run... Puts things in perspective today and on those whiny days.
And on that note... Good luck to next week's Miami Ironman contestants!

Been a while
Got on a plane on the 10th and was away until the 13th. It was a good break from the day to day at this end. It was good to get away - even if it was a lot of work to be done.
The only exercise I got was the brief AM treadmill walk each morning at the hotel, a 30 minute afternoon walk with the client each day, and a days worth of walking around New Orleans.
It was a fun trip. Like to think I made some new friends.
Sunday was spent cleaning around the house and laundry. Had dinner with an old friend. SO NICE! I know he and In don't see as much of him as I used to. I won't complain because I so appreciate the friendship when I do see him.
The neighbor situation has blown up and pissed me off. I spent Monday/ Tuesday wanting to yell, scream, stamp my feet and throw something. Thankfully I remembered the serenity prayer and feel better grounded today.
Tuesday also included October bday drinks after work. That was fun. Not as big of a crowd as I would like but that really is OK.
Tonight is catch up with The Vampire Diaries (#TVD) birthday night. Exciting!
This weekend will be the last of the birthday outings for the year. Then I am off to MKE, Brookfield, JAN, Greenwood, Olive Branch, Memphis, Richmond.
I will sleep through November.

Yoga morning stretch
Trying to add those stretches in the AM. It seems to be coming together in the mix. Stretch. Stretch. Stretch.

Grace and Gusto
I found this exercise video on Exercise on Demand this past week. Unlike other videos I have found this one I have actually dont twice already. There are a lot of obligue exercises in this video. It is a lot of motion that I do not do with the swim, bike, run workouts. It has lots of stretching in it. Long fluid motions. I have really enjoyed it.
As with the hill drills - I am adding to the mix.

RUN in the rain
I found myself in the middle of a downpour on Monday morning. Or was it Tuesday? Anyways... Thankfully I wasnt too far from home. My 2 mile run turned into a half mile run. I got wet - nervous some of my electronics did as well. We shall see how that pans out...
It was going to be a fun workout too... I was going to do a bunch of hill drills. I am going to add that to my mix this week. And this week's mix is not going to be all that long because of my upcoming trip to New Orleans. Oh that is such a positive spin to the trip but we will call it that.
The morning runs are going well. Gotta keep at them.

H.A.L.T.
I havent revisited the HALT acronym in quite some time. And I don't know that I would say it actually applies but it is the one that has come to mind this past week for ne. I dont know that I have felt any of those but I needed a quick reminded to exercise patience. UM - it didnt necessarily work.
I can be so mean sometimes and I hate that about myself.. brutally honest can be hurtful and really to no one's benefit. No one acts for the positive on the receiving end of nastiness. So I need to remember to HALT. Because now even though I have been told everything is OK, there is no way to take it back. And it will always hover there like a stupid elephant in the corner. If I really watned to hold true to what I said than it still would have been mean. I think I was that mean in an effort to convince myself of my actions... but it is not working... missing is a word that comes to mind...
