Happy Saturday!
The rest of yesterday went fast and was filled with fun.
The spin class at campus rec was fun to teach–Chelsea made it out, which always makes things more fun, and the mic worked. Bonus.
After class, Ellen and Angela came over to eat dinner/get ready for our evening on the town. I made BBQ chicken, potatoes, and salad, which tasted great with good company and good wine!
Our night out was fun, but a little bittersweet since a bunch of people are leaving (for the summer mostly, but Nina is done and Western and that brings a tear to my eye because I love her to death!).
We tried to ease the pain with tequila…
JK. But that did happen!
So did lots of dancing, staying out way past our bedtimes, and plenty of fun.
I managed to sleep in til 10 today (a miracle for me!). I finally got up and had some breakfast, coffee with Angela, and then headed for my run.
Of course I forgot to start my Garmin, but that makes my time unofficial (but trust me, my pace was slow). I took it to the trails along the river here. Best. Decision. Ever. It was gorgeous and nice to get out of the “how fast are these miles” kind of trap and to the “omg I better leap over this tree trunk”…I love trails! I won’t lie though, I had to sit on a branch and crawl over it on two occasions…it happens!
When I got home I stretched and did a quick circuit 3x through: 25 sit ups, 20 kettle bell swings, 15 pushups, 10 squats, and 5 burpees. FYI burpees the day after you party a little too hard feel even more awesome than normal…
After a shower my stomach was growling so I had a late lunch (turkey and alfalfa sandwich with cheese and mayo plus some pickles).
Tonight my mom’s coming for a visit and I have plans to see “The Five Year Engagement” — I hope it’s as funny as it looks in the previews. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the movies so I’m really looking forward to it.
How are you spending your weekend?
Do you like running on trails?
ummm holy shit those are the most gigantic tequila shots i’ve ever seen!! HOW do you do that??? you must be a champ. I cannot drink tequila to save my life hahaha. Wine is always a win though:-D it looks like you had a fun night! annnnnd i love your outfit. aaaaaand someday, I will take a spin class taught by you!! You’ll be like Bob Harper, announcing on twitter when you’re teaching, and people will be on the waitlist for your class for months so you better reserve me a spot
Haha, they’re actually so small! I’m just crafty (drunk) with my phone I guess!!
Oh wineeee!
And I can only hope I get to such star status
Looks like such a fun weekend!
This Summer:
1) A spin class taught by Cheryl
2) A tequilla shot poured by Cheryl
I think this is do-able!
ooh! Which trails were they? I’ve noticed London seems to have some nice ones near Thames park! And how was the movie?
I was near Gibbons and Ross Park! I know there are lots to explore around here–it’s on my summer to do list
I just did my first trail run last summer and I think I caught the trail running bug — it’s so FREEING! 
PS The movie was cute (of course) but a bit long and some scenes were too PG13 for me (I’m a baby) but otherwise very cutesy and funny and not a bad way to spend a chilly Saturday afternoon!
I love those trails too (I just saw above that you were running through Gibbons)! I’m going to miss them this summer, actually. We don’t really have trails that are meant for running/walking/biking in Burlington, other than the one that runs along the beach. But it’s by the road, so it’s not as nice and secluded!
