With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Went to the hotel pool and tried my luck at swimming.  It was exhausting!!  My tri-athalon training for the year is finished.

I did an easy breast stroke and my goal was 30 minutes.  It was a long, long, long 30 minutes.  I thought of Brent trying to be a needle, and I was more like a sewing machine.  Lots of noise and splashing. 

But it was nice to finish swimming and get to hang out in the hot tub and dry sauna.

Morning miles.  I didn't want to get out of bed today.  Not at all.  I kept buying myself a few more minutes snooze button after snooze button until time was almost too late for anything at all.  I'm ready to go back on vacation!!

I did get a good pace this morning.  Maybe because I'd spent so much time in bed & I knew I had to hurry.   I hope it stops raining so I can run home today.

7.1 miles in the morning- watched the moon rising.  Just a little orange sliver that moved up into a shiny white sliver.  Orion was headed for the trees- it was a nice morning.

5 miles in the afternoon with MR on his bike.  I loved it that he came and gave me an escorted run home.

Here's a run down of my diet for the day:

breakfast: 1/2 a candy bar and shredded wheat, followed by 8 hours of nothing but treats that included chocolate and/or powdered sugar.  dinner: salad with ice cream (Thank you Jason's deli!).

Why does my tummy hurt?

It's dropped 30 degrees in the morning from Monday.  So 43 degrees shouldn't be that cold, but it's colder than it was Monday by a long shot.  Slower this morning, but I didn't care because my legs & knees were tired from yesterday.

all treadmill miles after school.  got to watch the kids practice basketball in the gym.  sweaty betty.
