Slow & Steady Wins the Race :-)

9 holes of golfing again today in the BEAUTIFUL summery 70+ degree weather.  Did MUCH better than yesterday, golfing a 51, which is actually really good for me.  And considering I got a 10 on the first hole, if it weren't for that it'd probably be a new PR!  Ha, its funny to use PR for golf.

Wanted to get a bike ride in but we had a family dinner and then went to the humane society with J's cousin and didn't get back to Seattle until 10pm.  What a great weekend, I hope its this nice next weekend.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

15 minutes on the bike trainer, I'm lame and should have done more.

This run felt so good!  Met Lisa and Anya at BPA trail.  I'm out of shape already... was breathing hard on all the hills!

Had PT eearrrllyyy this morning (7:30 in SEATTLE! ugh) and my calves are so sore already, but I got a great list of 6 or so exercises to do which I'm pumped about.  

LOST LOST LOST!  Only 3 more episodes ever!

30 minutes on the bike trainer, broken into 2 15 minute sections with squats, lunges, plank, push-ups, etc. in between and after and then my PT exercises after all of that.  This actually felt like a really good workout, sweat was pouring off my forehead at one point.  If I could do this 3 days a week I think I'd be in good shape.  

Decided to try doing the 100 push-up challenge again, so today was Day #1 - did 6, 6, 4, 4, 8 (max).  

I don't think my calves have ever been so sore as today, which is weird because I swear I didn't do that much at the PT yesterday.  Going up and down the 3 stories at my work, 4 stories at the parking garage, and 4 huge stories at UW was rouuughhhh.  

Summer might be here!  I love love love it.  Since my usual early morning meeting got canceled, took Cooper on a run around the neighborhood before class.  I can tell I've definitely lost some fitness with these last 2.5 weeks off.  I tried to pick it up a little the last two miles.

Intended on going for a bike ride at interurban after work in the beautiful sunshine, but my bike has a flat tire. :-(  So now I have to figure out how to change it and what kind of tire to buy and all that good stuff I definitely should already have known about!  So went and played tennis for 30 minutes or so instead with J. 

I decided that since I ran yesterday morning, it would be okay to run today afternoon, as long as it was short.  :-)  76 degrees outside, beautiful sun, SUMMER IS HERE!  I can't express to you how happy this makes me.  Makes the past 6 months of misery (thank you S.A.D.) all worth it!  

Ran 2 laps around the neighborhood with Cooper, which was probably too much for Cooper in this heat, poor guy.  I was sweating buckets, so he was probably suffering.

A summer weekend!  Hip hip hooray!  Off to our mini one-night vacation at the casino (thank you mystery shopping!) and then hopefully lots of golf and lovely sun.

Happy weekend everyone!

9 holes of golf... I golfed a 60!  That is NOT good!  J was so nice and went and got my bike fixed at the bike shop. :-)
