The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters. Personal: I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities. Favorite Blogs: |

No flights from my base to Kuwait, so gambled and flew to another base to get to Kuwait. Ended up at a base with a pool. A 50m pool.
It's been over a year since I have swum (swam?) laps and I was worried that I would have lost swimming fitness, but I did okay. I think it was from all the yoga making my reach reachier. |

One more session of swimming while waiting for a flight. It was good crosstraining, but the real reason was to get rid of my farmer's tan.

Made it to Kuwait, but didn't get any sleep. 10 minutes on a stationary bike and not even a half mile on the treadmill.

| Stranded at Dulles. They did not send a ride to pick me up. Which was a bummer until I got to rental car place and ran into one of my best friends ever. 6.7 billion people in the world and I run into him in DC. He lives in LA, and just happened to be heading to the Pentagon for a meeting. It made my day. | | Add Comment |

My no self-control day.
Pigged out at lunch, then watched a show which tried to scientifically figure out who would win in a fight between a samuri and a viking. I'm glad we don't have cable. I would be stuck watching shows like this all day. Or infomercials which I'm equally drawn to. Pigged out at dinner afterwards. | | Comments(1) |

Ran with the best tour guide ever. Now I know why Burt has a Rocket crush. You needn't be self-conscious about how you speak, Lucia. Historical knowledge about canals is best delivered with an exotic, Bond-girl, Argentine accent.
For someone who calls herself clumsy, Lucia nimbly manuvered through steep and twisting paths full of roots and stones slick from the recent rains. Maybe she doesn't know what the word clumsy means... Anyway, I had a blast. Thanks again for the workout, the lesson in Early American water transport and the great company.
p90x abs and used the hotel's gym contraption
Looked up an old friend and hung out/carbo-loaded until it was time to run with the Rocket |

| Worked out with my true love! Or at least walked on the treadmill next to her. 1xkb#1(55, -L, +20p, 1C, -J) Easy swim not so easy. Too much clorine tasted terrible and made my teeth feel funny. |

Fun in the AZ sun. It was unseasonalbly cool from what I hear.
Ran 3 miles under 21 on a track without a watch.
Swam some and ran some more, but lost track of the distance.
Bonnie and Dean picked me up afterward and took me out for dinner.
They were great to hang out with. High energy and lots of smiles. I do hope they make it out our way for a visit. The girls would love them.
Thanks for making my visit to Arizona even more memorable :) |

Felt recovered (thanks to being nursed to health by my beloved) enough to run. Ran in the morning. Slow pace. Froze.
Went for a walk in the evening with Rachel. Wore flip flops which was a bad call and got a blister. She walks too fast for my little legs.

Installed a backsplash and a hood which turned out to be an awesome shoulder workout and a cussfest. Pardon my French.

Weight vest and backpack with books. We don't own a scale, but I tried for 45 lbs. We'll see if my calves work tomorrow. Last time this happened, I couldn't walk for days.

It was nice and cool, and I kept my heartrate nice and low.
Farted around in the pool with the kids. Literally. | |

Rachel witnessed some guy at the gym doing cool pushups. I was too shy to make friends, but I'm going to try them when no one's watching.
Cooldown swim, but I didn't track how far. I got out because the water tasted too strongly of chemicals. | |

While brandishing a mere flap of plastic with a wire handle, I deftly decapitated this rogue mid-air. There were other flies that escaped beheading, but they are no longer able to reproduce.
If anyone's recruiting for a secret ninja society, consider this my application. I await your call.

Went out for a ruck run. Planned to run 2 miles out and back. Turned into a 2 mile ruck run then rest until I could convince my legs to move then walk back. I had lost my respect for State-side weather. I re-discovered it today.
15:28 pace (including sitting on the park bench panting)
