Quick Recap

Here I am again. Time is flying lately. I will first recap how last week worked out. I took Thursday off after a 10.5 mile run on Wednesday night. Kids were home all day Wednesday because of a "snow day" which really should not have been. Friday brought me to my long ride of 75 miles and a 3.2 mile run. I was so nervous and scared, but once I got going it turned out alright. I wouldn't say I felt "awesome" or "fantastic" but I did it and got it over with. My first steps for the run were ruthless and unknown, but once I got my feet under me I managed a nice little clip and kept it going. After my workout, shower, quick sandwich, I bolted to get Andrew from a playdate and the other two from school, then we busted a move to Glenwood Springs for the weekend.

Glenwood was fabulous. I canned the swim workout I didn't get in and used Saturday and Sunday to hang in the Hot Springs, play at the park, eat and just be a family. Aside from the tricky stretch on I-70 over Vail Pass...all was wonderful. We spent the majority of the day at the Springs and hotel pool..kids couldn't get enough.

This morning I eeked out a 13.5 mile run. I'm so glad that I did the first 8 with a friend. I was not feeling in it. I just got my monthly visitor (after 33 days, mind you...normally I'm a 24-26 day girl), so I'm tuckered from that and not sleeping well last night. I kept dreaming my child was getting abducted, so that shot the night of sleep. Oh well...at least I woke up before my alarm.

Hopefully with a little rest and recovery today, I'll be ready to hit the pool and a bike ride tomorrow. We'll see! I am onto week #26 already..only 12 more to go before the big day (two of which are taper, so really only 10). I cannot believe I am this far along...truly it is a miracle.

The kids and I are doing spring cleaning today. I bribed them...if they willingly cleaned their rooms with little involvement from me, I'd buy them something. Man, it got them hopping...we've been recycling and donating all morning. It will feel wonderful when that little truck comes by and hauls it all away on Wednesday...love that feeling!!
