Off to the gym

I think the reason I love crossfit so much is that I have so little time to workout. They help me make the most of the tiny amount of time that I have. I wish I had time to go on a nice long run...

It's a good thing...

... that I think bruises and scrapes are sexy. My legs are TORE UP today. About 10 times worse than hashing in El Paso. I am happy to report that my stupid legs aren't nearly as badly strained as they might have been. I should be back to functional quickly. I feel a ton better already. There's really something to taking care of your injuries! That whole ice & elevate thing is awesome.

Incline today

I set a new record for myself: the most spills on the way down from the Incline. I made it to the top in the best time I've had in a while, 46 minutes from the very bottom. However, the hike/run down was a bit crap-tastic. I slipped at the very top and slid five steps before stopping myself. Not that big of a deal, a couple of scratches is all. I decided that I'd hop over to Barr Trail at the half-way point to avoid any other major tumbles. Instead, I slipped in the snow/ice on Barr Trail twice and pulled my right quad. I think it's fairly minor, so I hope to be back to 100% in a few days. Guess we'll see. Back to icing the thigh! :)

Cowlick.

I know I'm a nerd, but this makes me happy.

Dancing tonight.

It's my first day back to dance at the Caspian since all of my costumes were stolen. I have finally replaced them with some beauties, but costume alteration takes a long time and I've only got one finished! At least I've got one thing finished. Of course, now I have to find time to put a couple of dance cd's together. I'm a bit nervous to go back, but I'm sure it'll feel like I've never been gone once the music starts.

Brrrr!

I love cold weather, but 13 degrees is still too damn cold to be out running! Short run today. It felt pretty good, but I'm glad to finally be warm again. I'm not used to staying cold for the whole duration of a run. What happened to that nice warm 25 degree weather? :)

My dinner rocked.

I made mushroom stroganoff with turmeric jasmine rice (yes, again). Plus I had sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with basil. Mmmmm! Top it off with an awesome wine and you have a delicious dinner.
