Well, I didn't make it swimming last night. I don't know why, but I was really tired all day, and my muscles felt...tired. So I decided to take the evening off. I woke up at 4:30 this morning to send my husband off for the summer games triathlon, then Elijah and I did our ten miles of running. We took it really easy (as always) doing four minutes of running and one minute walk breaks. We finished all ten in 1:42. I felt great until the last mile, when I started to get a little head-achy, but I drank some electrolye-supplemented water and then I felt fine. Then it was off to rehearsal for me. Ben ended up taking the GOLD medal in the tri, and coming in tenth overall! I was so proud - wish I could have been there to watch...except if I HAD been there, I would have been racing. :D
This afternoon Ben and I went to an all-you-can-eat Sushi place. Oh, boy! We ate a lot. Afterwards, I thought "I just can't go to bed with all this food sitting in my belly," so Ben went running and I jumped on my bike, towing my two youngest children in the trailer. The first four miles were sluggish, but then I started feeling pretty spry, and I picked up the pace. Then the kids started fighting, so after about eight miles I dropped them off at home, and went out to find Ben and play water-boy. I found him about two miles from home, after biking up this massive hill, and then rode home with him at a very slow pace (for the bike). It was all downhill on the way home, and I rode my brakes most of the way, but I'm still going to count the miles! :-) |
