The lil Christmas trees

Today was a nice relaxing day.

1. slept in til 9 = amazing!

2. rode bike for 2 hours while watching dvr catch up episodes of The Closer

3. took a hot bath....also =amazing!

4. took the kiddos to see the new Muppets movie. It was pretty cute but I about went into REM sleep so it wasn't great but I guess I couldn't expect too much. I did eat a delicious pretzel with spicy cheese and ran into a friend and her hubby who were going to see Breaking Dawn....I was jealous.

5. Picked up carry out dinner from this lil Mexican place- shrimp n rice dinner...it was soooo good.

6. Started Christmas decorating...specifically the kids decorated their mini Christmas trees for their rooms....let the holidays begin!!

Damn funny stuff here!!

I'm new to twitter and I've been following someecards which I must say post some of the funniest crap ever...whenever i need a pick me up...i visit their site or read their tweets.

so here's the latest funny stuff....Click here to read the "most awkward entertaining or horrifying notes ever written by a roommate"..

Just a few samples before you go read them in their entirety off of our lovely blog....

I'm still laughing..

On a side note, Sarah and I missed out on our cycling class yesterday because it filled up sooooo early...so we had to try out a boot camp conditioning class....I need to save a review of it for another day but lets just say Sarah and I were cracking up laughing....was it a workout? sure, a little...did I sweat some? sure, a little....will I go again? sure..I mean No!  I know I looked ridiculous bouning around that little room...I think on the running portion of the 'boot camp', Sarah and I lapped everyone in the class like 10 times all while laughing our asses off....OMG it was funny. 

So I'm always looking for a new workout to try and this one came via twitter from Triathlete Magazine none too soon.  The full workout is included below, but due to time contstraints, I did the workout you see below up to the point of the run coming in 5 minute intervals.  I am going to do the full version this weekend....but it was definitely great for the legs.   From an intensity perspective, I tried to just push for a running pace on the treadmill equivalent to what I do for my sprint triathlons and the bike, I try to keep it at 21mph + on the trainer...not full proof but you do sweat alot.

The workout:

30-minute warm-up on the bike  (I did about 10 minutes warm up, the remaining 20 at high intensity)

10 minutes of running

10 minutes of cycling

10 minutes of running

10 minutes of cycling

5 minutes of running
10 minutes of cycling
5 minutes of running
10 minutes of cycling
5 minutes of running
10 minutes of cycling
5 minutes of running
20-minute cool down on the bike.

I'm excited to join Sarah at a cycling class at LA Fitness tonight....I've never been a huge fan of "classes" but once again....looking for a change of pace...so we shall see..I'm sure if Sarah loves it, I will too. 

and since I always have to include a photo, related, random or otherwise...here's my baby spiderman...love this new app (instagram) on my iphone...lets you do cool crap with your pictures...

Later!

Morning swim comes too quick...

Why can't I ever go to bed early????

A little bike = a little burn

Nothing like a 3 hr bike ride to burn off my 2nd thanksgiving dinner ... Here goes fun!
