yesterday's news kinda threw us for a loop. the plan was to do the workout we missed in the am when i got home from work, but neither of us were really feeling it. nor were we feeling sleep either. at around 2 am we decided, eff it, let's go to the gym. patrick suggested we swim. a run was on on the schedule but i decided eff it. let's just have fun.
we spent about half an hour pool running, chatting, spending quality time together. the pool at the gym was practically empty save the cleaning lady and a random dude in the sauna. it was so nice. to have peace. and quiet. and space. empty space filled with just us. we capped the workout off with some time in the hot tub then we made our way home to have breakfast together. at around 4 am i was finally able to drift to sleep feeling a million times better.
these are the moments i love the best.

my scale hates me today. but it was to be expected. it was a pretty high carb day. and i ate waaaay too much of the chicken sloppy joe i made at lunch. must remember to eat slower. will reign it in tomorrow. we have a weights and run combo workout planned. must. kick. my. own. butt.

One of my favorite nights with Ryan was between marathons in my back-to-back-to-back streak...I should have been doing a "serious" recovery swim but instead we just horsed around in the pool. Floating, dunking each other, making funny faces under water. What is it about water that is so therapeutic??
the pool at 2am? nice.
I used to weight myself daily and then realized that it did more damage to me mentally, then incouraging me. So, now I only weigh myself once a week... usually monday mornings...
that sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you guys threw caution to the wind and enjoyed yourselves instead. Sounds like it was the perfect remedy for crummy news.
a 2am swim sounds wonderful! How fun.
