#2-This may seem silly, but it is a rare treat for me. I go to bed at 11pm pretty much every night during the week and then various later times on the weekend. Saturday and Sunday nights I went to sleep super early. I had to be up at 4:50am for my Sunday race which is the main reason for the early bed times. I felt great when I woke up on Monday morning. Nice way to start the week!
#3-I am treating myself to a half day on Friday. I have the Rock the Parkway half marathon on Saturday, so I am taking a half day to relax and enjoy the expo. Plus, half days on Friday's are the best! Starting the weekend off early!!
Last night I decided to bike instead of run. I pushed pretty hard in the race on Sunday so biking is a good recovery. One thing I figured out is that no matter how cute the top, bike shorts will never look good.
After an hour on the bike, I took the puppy out for a mile and a half walk. He loves walks!! Then it was time to make dinner. Chicken gyros were on the menu. Delicious and super easy. I marinated chicken in garlic olive oil, curry powder, salt, pepper and saffron. Then I sautéed it and mixed hummus, skinnytaste tzatziki sauce, and some apple slices into a mixture to stuff in a whole wheat pita.
After dinner we settled in to watch the NCAA basketball championship and relax before bed.
How will you treat yourself this week?
I think going to bed early is the ultimate way to treat yourself! I've been having sleep issues lately because I keep going to bed WAAAY later than planned, and then I am totally kicking myself the next morning. Hope your race went well!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! Last weekend's race was great and I am hoping for a good one this weekend.
DeleteI'm so glad other people think sleep is a treat as well!! :)
Wow, two races, two weekends in a row! That's awesome!
DeleteI agree with Marnie. Bring on the early bird sleepers :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do is to go to bed early - I'm such a nerd! I also love half day Fridays :) Enjoy your early start to the weekend!
