Friday - went to the recruit graduation, and really, all that does is make me feel old. But so good to see the chicas that I miss spending time with. I got caught up on wedding plans and am soooo excited for the two girls to be married next year. Wahoo ! Let the 2009 wedding season begin!. I also managed well thru the buffet line... until ... drum roll... CARROT CAKE ! No really... how can you say no to that. So I had a piece. I did go do cardio for 40 minutes when I got home from work, so that should negate the carrot cake...
Saturday.. nuthin, zip zero, nuthin... whew. I did hit the eliptical for a 45 minutes to burn off some calories and Rob made a decent semi-low cal dinner. So I'm good :)
Sunday ... headed North to do some lunges, smith rack, hammy's and a little (20 min) of minimal cardio. Wahoo! Forgot my heart rate monitor though.. .hate that !
I ran to REI and picked up some NUUN electrolyte drink, and I'm excited to try that. But the most exciting thing of all ???? Are you ready ??? That's right MARGARITA WITH SALT CLIF SHOT BLOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my new fav !! Love love love love love it ! Rob.. yeah... not so much. He said it tasted like sweat with a hint of lime HA! Not to me... I loved it. The Margarita one actually has a decent amount of sodium and potassium which helps with leg cramps, and on anything more than 9 miles, I tend to cramp a little. I also wanted to try the cola flavor and it was decent too. The cola has 50mg of caffeine in it which would work as a good pick up mid-race. I love Sport Beans but want something a little more substantial and I think these will do it. I'm not a GU or HammerGel fan, so the bloks should be good.

Hope everybody had a productive weekend and is ready to take on the new week ! And thanks to my Sunday gym partner in crime... you make the work-outs fun !

The only problem is that sometimes I want them even when I'm not working out... and then it's just like eating candy. :)
