One week behind.....getting there!

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30

I was invited to go and see that new Jason Statham movie, but after realising that I'd need to wake up early for it, I passed. I was still tired from Ottawa. So instead I got up later and went to the gym - and I'm so proud of myself because I continued with my interval running at a much higher level than I thought I could do. I had a 1 minute warmup, a 20 minute non-stop run, 2 and a half minute break followed by the last 6 and a half minutes of running. That 20 minute slot was only meant to be 5 minutes, then 7, 10, 15 until it eventually got to 20 minutes of continuous training. Yes, it's official: I ROCK! I wasn't running like hell because I had a stitch, but I didn't want to slow down either. Plus I needed to maintain enough energy throughout the whole workout. Every few minutes I increased the speed by 1 on the treadmill and eventually got to 8.5 (miles I think - if it were in kms, it would be a cakewalk!)

After I took my time with my shower and everything else, I got randomly picked up by Dawn and Judy. I left a note saying I was at the gym and would be at the house by 4:30. At 4pm they checked to see if I was still there to give me a lift back to the house, which was so incredibly sweet of them. As soon as Dawn pulled up into the parking area, I stepped out of the gym. As I didn't know they had come to pick me up, I was aloof when I heard 2 loud toots on the car horm and "Oy, get your ass in here". Me thinking it was an antagonist, I was turning around and ready to give whoever this person was a piece of my mind, but then burst out laughing when I saw it was Dawn and Judy. The timing was perfect!

Got back to the house and couldn't wait an extra 40 minutes before dinner was ready (it was just cudin anyway. For those of you who don't know, it's a very well known dish: What you CUDIN eat today, you'll have it tomorrow"), so I had a slice of my pizza before I get the 'don't spoil your appetite' lecture. Firstly: if I didn't eat anything, I would have passed out; Secondly: I wasn't spoiling it with chocolate or other junk, I was getting an early start to my dinner. (This is part of my rant. Thankfully it's just a short one today!). The 40 minutes came on by and I had my beautifully delicious gourmet pizza for dinner. If I hadn't have made that pizza last night, it would have been processed potato night for me. As I was having my dinner, the DOMS was creeping up on me quite strongly.

I was pissed because I found out I have to be up at 5:30am for a fucking 3pm flight. The reason I got a late flight was so that I wouldn't have to wake up so fucking early. BUT NO! I wasn't consulted with anything - despite me saying I would get a hotel so I didn't need a lift to the airport. I was just told, "We have to leave at 6:30am because there is no other way". There are no direct buses from Oshawa to the airport. So we had to go downtown with David and bumfuck around Toronto for 4 hours, then take 3 trains and a bus to get to the airport. Like I said, it would have been worth it for me to stay the night at a hotel near the airport. Also added to this: seeing as I am going to the US, I have to check in 2 hours before my flight is scheduled to leave. I'm having another hell of a rant. Again I ask: see what it's like to be a girl?

Off to sleep as I have to be up soon. See ya in Madison!
