I'm Not Dead Yet!

I have a bad habit of blogging after the weekend and then getting sucked into training and work and falling off the map.  But I'm still here and going at it strong!  So far, I am winning when it comes to my biggest week of the year - of course I haven't even trained half of this week's assigned hours yet - BIG weekend ahead.

So what HAVE I been doing?

5:30am masters twice this week already.  (And a big long solo swim tomorrow)

Trying to give my dogs enough exercise without going out in the 90+ degree afternoon heat

Having a BIG reward after a brutal ART session on Monday to loosen up Sunday's painful hip flexors.  Tears could have been shed.  Thankfully by the time I had to ride hard on Wednesday morning it was much much better and after another round of ART Wednesday afternoon is feeling fantastic.

Rejoicing at the return of hockey!

Making some changes to my bike fit with the ever-patient Bruce over at Concept Cyclery.  I've been on this bike now for almost 5 months so it was time to re-assess and see if we could put me in a more aggressive position.  Thanks to all my lovely ART work, Bruce said my pedal stroke and form have improved dramatically, which helped support the changes we made.

Tripping over a crack in the sidewalk while running after masters today.  I carried on with the workout and might have started scaring people heading out on their morning commute.

Bathing my boys so they'd be clean for an overnight stay at my mom's house

Visiting with a possible future addition to our house :-)  More on that in a couple weeks...
