counting my blessings

there was a train crash outside of DC yesterday, on the metro line i take to/from work most days... apparently, a subway train plowed into the back of another one - 9 people have died and over 70 people have been injured... i have no idea how this sort of thing can happen - eric and i were glued to the tv last night at the sight of one train ontop of another... it just seems impossible... roads and subways lines have been shut down and my commute this morning took almost 2 hours... the train was so crowded, we were offloaded so i decided to walk the rest of the way - just wish i had worn better shoes! anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with the families involved in this terrible accident...

here's a shot of the two trains - see what i mean?!?!



and here's an idea of what the metro looked like this morning - the word 'chaos' doesn't even come close...



on a good note - at least i had a great spin class this morning...

happy tuesday...

progress

the alarm went off at 5:30 this morning and i only hit the snooze once... by the time i got to the gym around 5:50, they said the spin class was full but to check - the guy had the sign-up sheet and only 2 spots were open - so i totally lucked-out... it was the same instructor as saturday so i knew the workout would be good, though he used the same music... WTF!... and i am happy to say that i felt MUCH better during this class and did not throw-up when i got home (i'm convinced that i had a bug last week since i've heard of other people having similiar issues)... i have to say, it feels great that i already have than under my belt for the day - just have to do my workout later this afternoon when i get home from the dentist... :-)

NSV update: i'm wearing a pair capris that were too small about a month or so ago (size 10) so i guess this whole 'workout' thing is paying-off after all... whoo hooo! :-)

happy tuesday...
