Good news!

I am so stoked Karrie will be coming to noon spin class tomorrow! I went solo at noon on Monday and opted for an early run Wed rather than spin. I had plans for dinner that night and work is beginning to frown on my lunch time spin excursions :( My schedule this week has been as follows: Mon Spin at noon Tues Run 5 miles w speed work Wed Run 3 miles Thurs Run 6-7 miles w friends from the Y Fri Spin at noon w Karrie! :) Sat Spin at 9:30 at Fallbrook Sun Run 8 miles Monday Elijah and I had great session with Stephanie. He mentioned he was sad about not having the bday treats someone brought because they weren't gluten free. He will be bringing gluten free cookies tomorrow to share with the class for his bday. Tuesday it was nice to see some of my old running buddies and throwing in some much needed speed work I haven't done all year! Wed I had a fabulous dinner date at Vincenzo's! YUM!!! So glad I ran in the morning. Tonight after running I will be going to my sister in law's Arbonne party. Not really gonna buy but will be happy to try the watermelon margaritas. Not my favorite flavor so there's little risk I will drink too much ;) Saturday is Elijah's bday and I'll be baking a gluten free cake. Hope it tunrs out delish! I hate that Elijah is excluded from treats in other areas so I'm glad that he won't feel left out on his special day! He is doing so well at school and he says no when he knows it's an item that contains gluten. What other 9 yr old would be able to make those choices when the opportunity to "cheat" is available? I'm so proud of him! Did I say 9 yrs old? WOW!!!! So far this has been a good week. Work is still the pits, but that's why I have my workouts and personal time to enjoy. Work isn't my life and I will not lose myself in the stress. Staying positive though can be very draining and it's starting to take it's toll. Deep breath, followed by another, followed by another :)
