Valentine's Day

Monday: Ran two miles - at 5.2 pace (24 minutes)
Tuesday: Spin Class (45 min)
Wedneday: Ran intervals - 2 miles @ 5.5 (two min); 5.0 (two minutes)

I hurt everywhere. Am also grouchy because I was supposed to go to yoga today and this board meeting came up and drove a cart and horses through my lovely plan. Now I don't know how to work around my own schedule. I can't run anymore - my right hip feels about 100 years older than the rest of me and a brief experiment with getting out of my Uggs and into a pair of work-appropriate heels this morning left me with a twisted ankle (twisted ankle-lite anyway - I think I can stretch it out). What I really need to do is get in the pool. Maybe I can drive out to the community pool this evening. There is one a block from my house, but it scares me. You have to enter through an alley and the sign for "pool" is spray-painted in red. That doesn't really make me want to put my head down and do laps. In fact in makes me want to find a solid wall and put my back against it. I think I'd rather stand the drive for thirty minutes in the nice pool.

At least I had a grapefruit for breakfast and I've put away an apple and a banana plus my vitamins and three bottles of water, so at least I know I'm eating well. Too bad my mom sent me an indecently large bar of orange chocolate for Valentine's Day. Obviously can't let that go to waste.
