Woke up with a calf cramp and wierd foot pain, so I opted out of the group workout. Aaron had been awake since 2 a.m. with a brilliant business idea that he couldn't sleep through. I wasn't sure if he was going to crash and need to sleep, or be able to go all day. 

I wasn't too bummed to miss the hard workout, because I actually really wanted to spend my energy organizing my house and didn't want to stop until it was finished. Seems like the Saturdays I run a hard workout, it zaps me and I can't really find the energy for much else, so today was my chance to do the cleaning I'd been putting off.

Our kids had a playdate scheduled at the Grooters for 9 a.m. so after I had been cleaning for a few hours and gotten a lot of progress, I paused so Aaron and I could bike them over to their friend's and go on a bike ride together. We climbed to the ampitheater up Flagstaff Mt. A 14 mile round trip ride with 1,500 ft of climbing. Strenuous, but not energy zapping. 

When we got home, we showered, picked up the kids, and spent the remainder of the day organizing and cleaning the ENTIRE house and weeding the entire back yard. It feels awesome to have a clean house. Hopefully I can keep it a little more under control now that the kids are in school a lot of the day.
