Oh Monday... Wishing the Rain Away

Okay, Okay.. so I know we've really needed rain here in TX

Yep, like I said... Texas was really in need of some rain, BUT Mondays are hard enough to get through without it being all rainy and humid outside.

Only plus was I got to bust out my knee high black BCBG boots for the first time this season. 

I ALSO got to bust out this little black headband bc humidity does crazy things to my hair...

So this weekend was rainy, and that messed with my plans of completing another Long Run outside.  I had 5 miles to log this weekend and they were trapped to a treadmill and Sunday I was just not feeling my workout.  I kept staring out the window thinking how I missed the perfect weather earlier in the week... I was completely ADHD and knew there was no way I was going to get in a good straight 5 miles so instead I knocked out a quick 3 (9:10 avg pace with 1min walk breaks between miles) and finished up my time on the eliptical on 65 resistance (my eliptical goes to 80... so whatever that means). 

Then, I kicked my own butt in a random circuit of whatever strength training I thought of including planks, a row back exercise Mike set up for me, and some of my favorite strength moves  --- finishing strong with 5 min ABS that went like this:

Too Pretty To Work... a.k.a. *Shock-Caller-Mellon-Baller*

You know you were all thinking it. 

Seriously though, I woke up this morning and even though {TGIF} it was FRIDAY I just did not feel like moving from my bed.  This is probably in part due to Sir Michael keeping me awake far past my bedtime packing for his trip to Miami (and no I do not get to go with this time! hmph).

So I laid there in bed for a few lingering minutes checking up on my favorite bloggers and seeing if any of them were already up & on the move... sometimes this helps me find motivation to roll myself out of bed.  And yes, sometimes I roll out of bed.  Like a ninja.  Be totally jealous.
