This is so gonna be me in 4 months!
I just got in from a pretty hardcore (for me) hour long spin class. I can officially say that my training for my century ride in May has begun! I was a little worried about how I’d fare tonight as I’ve been pretty sick with a head cold for around 4 days. It was a happy surprise about 15 minutes in when I started feeling stronger and my cold symptoms melted away as the endorphins washed over.
I’ve run/biked many times when I’ve been sick and it can go either way. Sometimes it’s great and I wind up feeling better and doing more, but occasionally it goes the other way and I end up cutting my training short. That can be so deflating after the bummer of being sick anyway.
Thankfully today went really well and I made sure to stay well hydrated throughout. A solid start to my training to be sure!
This weekend I had the opportunity to see Billy Elliot on Broadway. What a treat! The music lingered in my head all day at work today and helped make an incredibly busy Monday much easier. I love live theater so much, I wish I could afford to go all the time. If you have the chance – run, don’t walk, this play was seriously fantastic.
Tonight I was so wiped out from the class I just popped some brussel sprouts in the oven after using the easy tried and true (and super easy) approach.
It’s the “Slice em”,
and then”shake em in olive oil, salt and pepper in a bag” approach.
I paired the veggies with a boca burger but sadly only the brussels were photo worthy tonight, I really need to figure out a way to start lighting these pictures, everything I eat looks yellow! I promise these brussels were bright and juicy and quite green!
All in all though, it was fast and healthy and it hit the spot.
Now I think I’ll curl up with some tea and listen to the Billy Elliot soundtrack while I read. I can tell already that I’m really gonna be sore tomorrow. It’s a good sore though, it means I’m a step closer to being century ready!
