After days and days of tax appointments, weddings, and once again, horrible weather, we were finally able to make it back to the cc today. A good swim, a run, and a bike ride made me feel like we might be back in the swing of things. The indoor triathalon is only two weeks away, so Mike and I have to get serious about what we are doing. Mike needs a lot more swim time. He avoids it like I avoid running. I just need to work on following through. I’ll swim but mainly just go back and forth, not really work on my strokes; I’ll run but I think I can run faster if I push myself, and then the bike is just so boring inside; I do 6 miles but I could easily do more if I was racing for ice cream.
Of course, the topic of everyone’s discussion: The weather is really holding us back. Just can’t wait for sunny days and bike rides around the lake, swimming where you have to worry about sunscreen instead of finding a short lane in a cold pool, and running outside wearing shorts and not even minding my stubby legs sticking out. I’d even take an evening or two of watching my kids play softball. Well, anyway, remind me of this if I dare complain about being too hot in August.
We have two more weeks left of the community challenge, and I would love to see us finish off with a bang. Keep up the good work, and let us know how you are doing. Also, don’t forget the cc is still collecting shoes to send to Haiti, so clean your closets and get ready for summer. It’s only 4 mos. away!
