Just enjoyed eggs and turkey bacon at The Griddle (new homestyle breakfast and lunch place in TownCenter Village Center). Now heading to heading to LA to see my boyfriend.

Looking forward to a nice relaxing drive listening to Pandora New Order station.

YOU DON'T SUPPORT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP?

Today was an early and busy day. It started with a political breakfast where Sen. Dean Heller addressed a room full of Latino leaders from both sides of the aisle. Personally, I really don't understand how certain elected officials just simply don't care for immigration reform and just want to deport everyone. In fact how he believes that they should take away birthright citizenship to any.child born in the US to two undocumented immigrants.

Let's just say it made for an interesting early morning. I wasn't able to run this morning but still got my run completed in the dark. I used a headlamp that I placed on my quad. I'm just.glad I got my miles in.

Yeah!! Now I'm ready to hit the hay wake up early, run and hit the road to LA. Tomorrow is NFL playoffs. My Texans are hosting the Bengals. Bring it on!!

FIRST RUN OF 2012!!

I just finished my first run of 2012. It was 2.5 miles to start off the week and the year.

This wasn't my first workout of the year. Yesterday, on January 1st, I made my way to my local 24 Hour Fitness - Agassi Super Sport in Summerlin and took a boot camp class for members that are currently training. It was an hour and a half of kicking my ass!! It was awesome. We did the whole running away from someone that was holding us back with elastic bands. You know like you see what Jillian Michaels did on biggest loser. That was tough with the partner I had which really wasn't holding me back that hard. I'm sure doing that with Jillian on a treadmill was tough as shit. I might have to ask my trainer to incorporate that into ky workout this month. My birthday gift from him to me.

Anyhow...I'm excited to see what amazing things is come into my life in 2012.  I welcome the surprises that come my way.

LAST DAY OF 2011!!!

Great day so far. I had my last run of 2011. 2.5 miles completed...I cooked breakfast...made tamales...cleaned half of my stove with baking powder. Who knew baking powder can clean your stove better than bleach.

Heading to the strip to check out the scene for one hour. Then its off to a nice dinner and then home to watch fireworks on TV. Then enjoy some late night tamales with chili con queso.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I will be hitting the Gym tomorrow at noon for a boot camp at 24 hours fitness.

Be safe!!

RUNNING AGAIN!!

Great morning so far but it all started because of my workout last night. I hit the gym for a cycling class with an awesome Dance instructer turned Spin instructer Rawlins Apilado. Plus an extra hour of cardio.

Well, somehow I signed up for a 6:00 am conference call for my last day of work this week but to my amazement I awoke refreshed and ready to take them on. After the call I was still full of energy after my cup of amazing coffee I decided to break in my new running shoes for the season and completed a nice 2 mile run.

I love these shoes. I didn't think that I would be able to run in Lunar Glides because I'm a major pronator but my ankles felt pretty good after 2 miles. I picked a good new shoe for a new season.

WEEKLY RUN TALLY: 3 Miles
