    Perfect holiday today. Early morning run, bike, swim - in that order. Off to a parade, then a picnic lunch, a hike on the mountain, a BBQ dinner, then fireworks. Life doesn't get much better than this...except that Crown burger was closed. I almost cried.

    Swim day. Woke up late, didn't get to swim until late afternoon. Not a quality swim, because I had to keep stopping. Also, I'm guessing the pool was at near capacity and I had 6 kids with me I was supppose to be watching while swimming. Thank goodness for my teenagers helping out. Even if not a good swim, I still had an enjoyable time playing in the pool with the kids.

    Got my Crownburger fix for the year.

    Morning run, later than usual. Thank goodness for sprinklers. I kept thinking about CIC everytime I ran through a sprinkler.  Got a quality swim in afterwards. Worked hard and no interuptions, except to wonder how the guy in the next lane over was kicking my butt. He was a really good swimmer, and even had a handwritten workout he was following. Played in the pool with the kids afterwards. I had to take pointers from the kids on how to go down the waterslide, as apparently I don't go down fast enough.

    Woke up early enough to see the sun rise. Went on a 5k run around the lake, tried to tag along with RAD and Bec & Annett, but they were too fast for me.  Thanks for slowing down for me RAD. I rode my bike to/from the lake, I'm guessing about 20 miles. I got lost/took a detour and they made it back, on foot, faster than I did on the bike. Oops -that's why I'm blonde. Well that, and that I pay the hairdresser to highlight my hair to cover up the gray.

    I was pleasantly surprised that my legs weren't sore from the 3 hour bike/run yesterday.

    I decided to run on a "non running" day, only a mile. I tried to run faster than my usual 11 min mile, and I did a 8.5 minute mile. I don't think I could have done another mile at that pace though.

    Did a swim, worked hard doing 100 IM's. Wish my fly was stronger so I could do more 200 IM's. Practice, practice, practice. Had some spare time afterwards while the kids were playing in the pool, and I got to help the little neighbor girl learn how to swim. She was so proud that she could finally make it across the pool by herself.
