Hi! I'm pretty excited about 2014. As I've mentioned before, 2013 was not my favorite year, but there was a lot of setup for 2014. And so I'm hoping to see a lot of good changes in the next 12 months.
For New Years Eve, Brian and I went down to San Diego (the homeland) to hang out with our dearest friends. We stayed at the Hyatt, which is our go to now that we can actually afford to stay in a hotel and not on the living room floor. They have a pretty bitchin' gym at the Hyatt, which is currently closed for renovation.
Usually this would be a major bummer, but they are supplementing by giving free access to the Sports Club next door (major bonus). The Sports Club is one of those super pricey well-to-do gym/spas that charges a couple hundred a month (I'm guessing). And it's amazing.
The bummer is we got there 20 minutes before they closed for NYE (oops). So we powered through a NROL workout the best we could. And this means that we did a serious, high intensity, upper body workout for 20 minutes. Then we went on a quick mile run followed by some body weight work in the park.
And it kicked my ass.
They say that you push harder when working with an opposite sex partner. So true. Granted we were on a time crunch, but I definitely lifted harder and faster than I normally do.
And I'm so sore. So. Sore.
Triceps, shoulders, back. I seriously got my ass kicked. Not to mention I wore way too tall heels on NYE, and my ankles are killing me. Never again.
So yesterday I took a day off, and today I got back to business with a quick two mile run. Tomorrow is a three miler and the start of NROL Stage Two. I have a lot of race training ahead of me (I signed up for a new race today--tell you about it tomorrow), and I'm stoked. Here's to a happy, healthy new year. We're off to a good start.
