Week in Review

So...I did my long bike ride on Friday with Darwin, Kathy, Fran, and Meera. The wind was blowing ridiculous. We only got in 42 miles but that is alright...I am already ahead of where I need to be.

Saturday Lurlean and I got a 11 mile run in. We started at 4:30 am trying to beat the heat but that didn't work. The humidity was terrible. Saturday was Josiah's 5th birthday party at the batting cages. It was awesome....no more house parties for us. It is so worth the money to have someone else set up and clean up!

Sunday I woke Josiah up early and we went to volunteer at the Tejas Triathlon here in Sugar Land. We worked the bike exit and saw a lot of chains come off on the hill at the beginning. A lot of people were in the wrong gear...note to self...CHECK THE BIKE EXITS AT ALL RACES AND MAKE SURE I AM IN THE CORRECT GEAR!!! I didn't do any training Sunday...I needed a day of rest. We got home from the tri and I took a nap with Josiah from 12 - 5 pm. We then went to a friends pool and swam until 9 pm.

Monday...another day of rest. Josiah's "real" birthday as he calls it. 5 YEARS OLD!!! We saw Kung Fu Panda and had cheeseburgers and chocolate milkshakes at Johnny Rockets. Then we ate more birthday cake at home. I ate almost a whole birthday cake in 2 days...UGH

Tuesday...1000 meter swim in the morning...and 4 loops of hills in the parking garages in the evening.

Today (Wednesday)...I met Jan, Patty, and Fran for a 20 mile bike ride around First Colony at 6:30. Patty and I then did a brick run after. When we were finished I picked up Josiah and we went to the bucket pool in Sienna with Sandy for the afternoon. I am trying to fill in my white triathlon short tan lines with tan....now instead of chocolate and vanilla legs....I have chocolate and strawberry legs. BURNED!!! Tonight I swam 2 loops at Twin Lakes. I am taking it easy this week with the swim because my shoulders have been sore and I have a 1.24 mile swim at the TriAmerica Tri in Clear Lake this weekend.
