Busy, busy
Saturday, July 12th 2008
My family is in town.
They got here yesterday. I've was busy getting my house ready for company and I've been busy visiting with them since. It's my dad and my 2 nephews (ages 12 and 13). My boys are ecstatic because they adore their cousins. They are their only cousins as my husband is an only child and I only have a sister. Anyway, we plan to leave on Tuesday to head to Chicago and as I've mentioned before, I'll then be there until the end of July.
Anniversary recap: Well, Ca...

I am amazed at my workout today, or I should say workoutS. This morning I went to the Y and did 30 mins of spin class (I was late, so I didn't get to do the whole thing.
) I followed that up by immediately running 2 miles. At first I felt like I couldn't find the pace and rythm and didn't know why. Then I realized, oh yeah, it's because I just biked so my legs are like bricks. After a few laps, I found my pace and was fine. I even felt like I could run another mile but I didn't push it...
Exhausted

I am so tired that I just cancelled running with my friend. I feel really guilty about that. I was looking forward to it all day, but we were supposed to run at 9:30 and I just couldn't get into it.I had an appointment with the accupressurist today and it went really well. He worked on my arm and my neck. Many areas with lots of tension knots and scar tissue. I can tell that it's really going to help. There are things I have to be doing each day to help: certain stretches, ice, and stat...
Self correcting

I have been playing on myspace and facebook so much lately that I've been neglecting CK. (Sorry.) The thing about CK is I can write about more private issues that I wouldn't write about on such public venues. So far, I've connected with CK and former CK-ers plus a few other friends. It's been really fun but it's addicting. I have to becareful of my time and not let it suck away my precious minutes. It's so easy to do.And it's such an escape. It's like I can go into this other world with...
Oh, so humbled!

Remember last week when I was so proud that I biked 12 miles with my friend and she struggled and I did just fine? Well, I was totally humbled today. I am quite a wimp.I did the same exact bike trail, with the kids in the bike trailer again, with another girl. She is going to do the swim for me in the triathlon. I don't know her that well yet, but she's a mom of a 6 month old boy, so we have lots of mom stuff to talk about. But before she had her son, she complete a half-ironman triath...
