Friday I got out for a 35 min run. It was a little more tiring than I expected. I had hoped to throw in some pick-ups to get my legs to a different cadence but could only muster one moderate surge.
Saturday we had friends come visit from Portland but when they went to the mall for an errand I snuck in a hour spin on the bike which felt good. Justin took a quick power nap and then spun for nearly an hour himself, and then tried out the home gym which was finally put together after being in a thousand pieces since buying it 2 years ago. Its very nice to have it operational- hope it is what he was expecting. It was nice to workout at home as it started snowing around 1pm and didn't turn to rain until about 8 pm. It was very pretty- I love snow. I was disappointed to wake up and have it mostly melted today.
Today I went to the real gym (a few more options than the home gym). Again it felt good to lift weights. Then came home and as Justin made a great dinner I tried a new recipe for a chocolate cake I'd been wanting to make. It was from the Barefoot Contessa and calls for a cup of coffee in the batter which intrigued me. The cake turned out really well and was very moist. Even the icing called for some instant coffee. I was quite pleased.
As I sit and listen to the rain on the roof, I check the forecast and see rain scheduled for the next two days as well. Hmmm....will probably hit the gym again tomorrow with an emphasis on swimming. But for now, its bed time.
