Still Sore

I am loving the encouragement! I am so thankful that I have a new found friend and someone who is more gym motivated then I will ever be in my life time! However, it is quite funny that I am still hobbling around like I am 9 months pregnant or just had a wild eveing with my husband..unfortunately neither of it is true. I mean seriously folks, my under butt cheeks hurt. I didn't realize that COULD hurt.

E and I are starting to have a social life!!! Last night, I met Lacy for our workout..thankfully my upper body is not as sore as my lower half. I came home and met up with E and a friend of his from work and we went to the batting cage. Still not sore and can still hit a baseball and a softball!! Haaaaay! Then went out for apps and a beer--totally ruined the workout on mozeralla sticks, nachos and honey blond beer--mmmmm good! It was good to get out and socialize!

This weekend--E is home with me!! YAY!!! We get to start the morning off with my routine of going to Yoga and my favorite teacher is teaching so I am more then excited. After that we are headed up to LA to meet our friend who is doing the Aids Ride. It is 500 and some miles ride from San Fransisco to LA to raise awareness for aids research. She arrives in LA so we are going to greet her with Fat Tire Beers and a huge hug. E did this ride two years ago and his experience inspired her to do the ride. I am hoping she enjoyed the experiene b/c the texts that she was sending E did not sound like she had a good time. Hopefully she did.

Sunday-we are going to fly. :) Very excited about that. He said he has the plane rented from 10-4pm so hopefully the weather co-operates-meaning no clouds or very little clouds because he isn't instrument rated yet and can only fly when the sky is clear. Come on SoCal weather!!!!

Shaking the dust off

I finally did it! After months and months of talking about it, I finally got back on my mountain bike and hit the trails! It was heaven! I was still a bit timid...I walked my bike down a steep hill..E said I would tackle it next time :) It was so great to feel the power in my quads and ride among the trees and nature. At one point, I was able to let go and just ride! It brought back so many memories of when I rode back in Chicago. I couldn't believe that I actually raced a couple of times!! I am heading back up to Peter's Canyon on Saturday. I am going to go early so that I don't hit a lot of the weekend traffic (hikers, walkers, runners and bikers). The sad part is I could only ride for about a half an hour. I was so beat!

So we packed up our car and headed over to coldstone and then to albertson's to buy a 12 of Fat Tire Beer for E. We have a jacuzzi in our apartment complex so brought down a couple of brews and sat in the hot tub. I was completely comatose by that point.
