INJURED - WEDDING CHAPEL - NEW TRAINER

I have been Missing In Action for almost a week. But let me tell you it hasn't been any less eventful. I have been volviendo Loca. Last Thursday, I got injured, so I signed up with a new TRAINER at the gym. Enough of this puttering through. It's time to get REAL! This is the rest of my life i'm talking about. What the hell am I doing playing around with this shit. Okay, i don't know if that makes sense to you but really. I'm either ALL IN or go home and quit. I'm not a quitter. On Friday, I woke up early and guess what I found a new yoga class. It is not as good as my girl Rachelle's in Southlake 24 Hour Fitness but it's damn near close to it. There is no binding but really I still have too much belly to be able to do that anyway. Let's focus on the stretches and my stability / CORE. I need a HARD and STRONG CORE. The night ended as we lost our volleyball games (again!). That's okay...whip it off. Move on to the next day.

WEDDING CHAPEL CEREMONIES? I don't know how many of you are familiar with the wedding chapels in Vegas but as I'm up Saturday morning trying to get my crews out when I get a call from my father. Who starts dictating a phone number for me to write down. It's my cousin's cell number, apparently he is in town and getting married that day! WHAT? QUE DEJISTES? So my cousin, who has been planning his wedding for 4 months tells me he is getting marries at 3:45 pm at the Special Memory Wedding Chapel in downtown Las Vegas. OMG! I move up my work so that I can leave the office by 3:25pm. Speed home change into my wedding outfit (which BTW thank god i had one in the wings). It took me less than 10 minutes to change my clothes fix my hair. I'm barreling down 93/95 to exit Las Vegas Blvd and putting on my make up at the same time. Thank god no cops saw me and I wasn't swerving that bad to attract unwanted attention. Where am I going again? Oh yeah....the Special Memory Wedding Chapel. WTHell? My aunt, uncle and another aunt are in town. Standing outside the chapel, because in TURE MEXICAN style the family is like LATE to their own wedding. SERIOUSLY? It's 4:30 pm and we haven't even started the ceremony. Then the wedding guy is a crack pot. Says he will conduct the ceremony in Spanish but turns out the hustler doesn't event speak a lot of Spanish. It's better than mine but still WTHell? He cracks us up the entire time. Throwing out random shit and random Spanish translations. It was like listening to a Boxing match between rounds with BAD TRANSLATORS translating the trainers talking to their athletes. Anyhow, it was finally over. And my drama for the day ended in happy smiles.

Well, Sunday was amazing. I can RUN AGAIN without the leg strain. I needed those days off so I ran a mile in less than 10 minutes and I hit my Yoga class again. I can feel the power coming back. YES! Monday it was back to Yoga. Then it was time to run to the office for some work. We played two softball games and I sucked ass. I got hit in the jaw with a ball it feels like it's bruised but i'm okay. My cleats are really starting to bother me when i'm hauling ass to get to first base. I got a good hit then a brain fart and f'd up and caused a double play out. It was a bad day! OH and I pulled my right quad. I'm not as young as I used to be. UGH!!

TUESDAY!!
I'm BACK BABY!! I got to the gym at 7:00 am ran my 5k (3.1 miles). Can I just say how much I HATE running on the treadmill. It was harder and the distance and my pace is off so much on my Nike+. Then I met the next love of my life (well Love may be a really really strong word) more like my PROPHET! My new trainer is going to kick my ass and I'm gonna love it.

TODAY!!
I ran outside and loved it! I got a new best mile but need to pull that number. And I ran 4.4 miles. Now i'm working and trying to find time to keep updating this blog.

whooo That was a lot to catch up on. I hope to get some comments soon. Let me know if you are planning on coming out to Vegas anytime soon. And If you plan on getting married in Las Vegas your ass better call me way more in advance than the DAY OF!! PULEASE!!

I'm being rushed by Temo who is sitting in front of my desk reading the paper telling me who is going to bet on this week. Maybe LSU Maybe Texas will blow out Colorado by 32 points? HMMMM Any Longhorns care to comment.

Until next time.....TOOTLES!!!
