Day 89 (June 28) - Note

I made a decision that I am cutting the 90-day challenge a bit short for me. And I am ok with it. Today my fantastic husband and I have been married for 9 years. We went to breakfast and lunch and have plans to go out to dinner and spend the day together. Then tomorrow we are headed out for a weekend away, just the 2 of us. And while I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge I plan to sit back and enjoy today and the whole weekend as much as I did 9 years ago. We have been through a lot together and are stronger for it and this weekend is our reward for 9 years together and a promise for so many more. So, I will eat, drink, be merry and enjoy every second I get with my guy.

1 mile run

Rxed - 34:55

Just a few thoughts: (1) You ladies who Rxed before me are Beasts!! It was tough all the way through, but those TGU were brutal. I both thank you and dislike you for the push. (2) The run was actually the 'easiest' part for me. I never thought I would think a 1 mile run was easy, but thanks to Hillary and Jordan I don't mind the running. And my run was sub-10:00, which after all the other stuff I am happy with. And (3) I am not sure what is wrong with Hillary and Jordan that this is how they choose to celebrate their anniversary :) My husband and I have an anniversary coming up at the end of the month and I swear I will be nicer than that to him!

No WOD today. I had planned to go, but to be honest, I just didn't feel well today. I spent all morning just trying to keep my breakfast in place. I felt better as the day went on, but never really felt right. Somehow doing burpees feeling slightly off just didn't seem like a good idea. Not sure what is going on, but it made me turn to comfort foods (hot dog, flurry, candy bar). I guess I figured if I am going to not feel good I might as well know why (crappy food). I told my husband I do better being painfully sore than I do not feeling well. Here is hoping tomorrow goes better!

Yes, I totally treated my self to doughnuts and coffee this morning. I planned the coffee treat, it had been a long week with not enough sleep. the doughnut were courtesy of our management for the crazy-off-the-wall week we had. They looked good and 2 doughnut holes are not going  undo me. Have to live and enjoy life too!
