You know me...

Sitting down to write tonight, I've realized it's been ten days since my last post. It's also made me think about how much one person can cram into ten days. It's been a productive and fun mix of work and play but it also has me looking forward to the weekend.

Last week I had another great 10 k run, along with a few smaller runs and weight sessions. My new iPad app is proving to be a great tool and helps keep my workouts fresh and still monitor my progress. The weekend was packed with good times with friends and lots of laughs.

Monday had me travelling for work and I took the opportunity to spend an extra day across the border to do some shopping. Okay so I may have splurged on a few things....but I can assure you they were needed! And...I also had the best peanut butter chocolate cheesecake of my life. In my defence, nowhere in my training program does it ban me from cheesecake. Or a long sleep in from a cheesecake coma.

Today was a tough day at the gym. I was feeling tired but was looking forward to a workout. I pushed through 5 k and followed up with a weight program designed for runners. I left the gym feeling really good. Tired, but good. This weekend I will increase my distance again and hopefully see some better times.

As much as it felt good to get back to the gym today, I can't deny how great it was to have my cake and eat it too.
