Running on Vacation...

Don't mind my whining buuuuut, is it Friday yet!?!??! Ugh today I just feel like crap - It all stems from last nights melt down after bootcamp. Usually a tough workout gets the endorphins running and can make you happy for several hours. But lately my workouts have been just depressing because i dont feel like I am seeing any results from my hard work. Bootcamp literally kicks my butt and I am beginning to wonder if the pain is worth it. I feel like I am eating pretty good (not great but not fast food and junk either) but I feel like I am gaining instead of losing. I think I need to increase my number of workouts per week and also run as much in the morning as possible. On my vaca last week (which was very much a golf trip for the Mr. - he golfed 5 times in 8 days!) I vowed to run every day that I didnt golf. I golfed three times so that left 4 days to run. Well i made it 3 out of the 4 (not too bad). The first run was the night of our first day in the house. I decided to run at 10pm Pacific time (which was like 1am in the morning to my body). Not the smartest plan. I was just beat and only got in 1 mile run and 1 mile walk. Atleast i got on it. Run 2 was 3 miles and run 3 was 4 miles. All pretty much at a 11 min mile pace :(. Below are pics of the treadmill at the house. The Mr. and I's room was actually more like a second floor suite with 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and this great sitting area that has a treadmill, workout machine, pool table, and flat screen tv mounted to a wall of mirrors - darn i wish i could move this house to the East Coast and maybe afford it!

Upstairs Kitchen


The house has a great infinity pool too with a tiki bar and grill at one end and a jacuzzi at the other!


Here are some pics of the Mr. and I golfing. The courses were all great and I actually played pretty well (for me anyway). We played Canyons at Red Rock which is the private course intertwined amoung the houses in the neighborhood where the guest house was.

We also played:

TPC Las Vegas (my and the Mr.'s fav!)


The Badlands
Tomorrrow I will post pics from our Vegas site seeing excursions! Whoohooo!


(sorry no Thirfty Thursday today!)
