A weekend with nothing planned... ahhhhhh

That's right... a weekend with nothing on the schedule.. bliss I say ! Friday night we headed up the Canadian border to congratulate the probies on finishing their year.
Rev got called for overtime (woot woot) and I did... nothing... I was going to run, but I vetoed that. I'm really trying to pay attention to what good ol' Doc Robertson said and when the shin is a tad hurty, to just rest it. Got it... trying... working on it.
I'll be setting up the trainer this evening thought and riding along for 30-45 minutes or so.

This afternoon, I headed to Wax On Spa... and way too much TMI for you all... but they do an amazing job !!! Way way way better than the place up north I usually go to and it's just right down the street from me ! Brilliant ! I highly recommend them.
I did decide to go for a spunky walk ... I trekked up to REI. Stopped off at Whole Foods for a slice of veggie pizza and then trudged up the hill. I wanted to find some squishy butt shorts that didn't have so much squish. Tried on few pairs, but wouldn't you know it, the most expensive pair was the one I liked the best. I'll wait a bit :)
I did find these amazing socks. I think I will die with them on. They are super comfortable ! When I run (jog, walk.. whatever) my feet always get too warm. Interesting huh, since I'm always freezing ! But these are actually made with Cool-Max, and are fairly light weight. I'll get a jog in tomorrow morning before Pesos and let you know.. They are THORLO Experia. LOVE THEM :)

I also wanted to re-post this info in case you didn't get the email - this is a free training program by New Balance and Active trainer.
I found it while browsing thru the RnR Vegas website - which has the new course updated btw... woot woot !
Here's the link from the page:
remember to use the code NBTrain4Vegas09
It's thru New Balance / Active Trainer and it looks pretty decent. It's a 14 week program starting on August 31st ending on the day before the race (December 5th). There's a run training program, a run/walk program, even a walk program. Very snazzy !
I think even my shin can handle it !!!
And for FREE makes it that much better !!!

**the program starts Aug 31st... everyday I get an email saying "today is a rest day" HA!!
