Happy Friday! So excited that the weekend is here! This is my last two day weekend for a while… because at 12:30 next Friday.. I will begin my 2+month long weekend. (Don’t hate 
)
I had hoped to get this post out a little earlier – but was occupied late into the night last night at the Yankee Game!
It was so much fun. My co-worker was COMPLETELY caught off guard when she walked into the picnic area we had reserved and found 30 of her collegues! We all pitched in to get her a beautiful pandora bracelet with a few charms, a Mattingly Yankee Jersey (her all time favorite player) … and a plaque with kind words that brought tears to my eyes. The game was delayed – and since we all had to spend 8 hours with children DYING for summer vacation to begin, we headed out rather early. After catching the train, I arrived home (after being picked up by Justin) at about 10:20 – made lunch, hopped in the shower, and was asleep by 11:00. Not too shabby.. and I felt great this morning!
Perhaps this baby helped me out just a little <3.
We had a laid back day with some testing, a movie for our last FUN FRIDAY (Chip Wrecked.. it was pretty good..I sang along ) .. and a bunch of packing. (Moving rooms SUCKS).
I hit up the gym after work and wasn’t really sure what I was in the mood to do. After finding out that my circuit training class is cancelled for tomorrow.. I mixed it up on the treadmill.. going from sprinting – to running – to jogging – to speed walking… for about 40 minutes. I certainly worked up a sweat and covered about 4.5 miles in 40 minutes:
Yep. 10.0. I was really truckin’ it! The worst part was.. I had NO MUSIC because I forgot my headphones at home. So.. I could hear the (loud) pounding on the treadmill and I am sure I annoyed anyone else around me that didn’t have headphones. I haven’t quite mastered running quietly when my speeds are so high. (Can anyone do this?)
Also – it may seem like a stretch to call a speed of 7.5 (8 min mile) a jog… but it literally felt that way after running at speeds of 10,0 and 8.5. I definitely felt great after the workout – and finished it up with some ab work!
And now – for the YZ Giveaway Winner:

Honestly, I don’t think I would be able to be a teacher if we didn’t have the break. It would be like raising 20+ children.. basically. No thanks. THat is for the woman on the TLC show. haha
Good for you for running without headphones. I HATE leaving them home!!

Make music so much better when you remember it, though!
Wahooo you earned the break lady! Oh and that is great you were able to power through even without the headphones… I have done that before and I always feel so defeated before even starting my workout! Dumb

I used to sometimes SKIP a workout if I forgot music. Now I’ve learned to deal with it.. and it makes music so much more special when I DO remember!!!!
woah–hats off to you for running at a 10 with no music!! If I hit 6 or above I need something to drown out the noise and keep my mind off of how hard I am working.

Not having my iPod for a few work outs made it awesome when I finally remember it. Very motivating and kept me very into what I was doing!
That cake is GORGEOUS!!!
