ok, I'm up.  I think I drank too much last night.  Too much water that is 

Max and Patty, thanks for making the trip, we sure did have a great time!  I was so happy you arrived before the Red Sox game ended, I was truly worried that you would miss it.  Thanx for the kudos, you are too kind.

I think I'm doing a marathon today.....a laundry marathon    Don't know about anything else, got to shake out the cobwebs first.

Good luck Andrea and Jen on teh 5k's. Max, so nice you and Ellen and hub/wife had a good time. It sounds like so much fun. I want to go to Ellen's and watch the end of a Red Sox game too!

Well, usually Sunday is a rest day, but today I'm going to do Yoga for the first time. I'm really excited. And then I'll go for a long swim. And Andrea, a mile is a long swim! I did drills yesterday, today I'm just going to test the waters! Have a great day all. It's raining here. Yeahhhh! We need the moisture but that means no bike rides!

30min run...difficult after a week off of sickness and school.  overcast and drizzly...rain felt good.

good luck in your races everyone!

43 minutes on the bike trainer and weights.

Wow Jen, you are speedy!

Ovetta, let me know when you're coming over

Today was my rest day. I spent Wed-Saturday in Yakima, WA (yes, I know you're all jealous) with 12 high school kids at an FBLA conference. We had a blast, but I was so beat when I got home yesterday that I knew I needed to get some decent sleep and NOT overdo it today.

So all I did was a 2-2 1/2 hour walk around Greenlake a few times in Seattle. Took the dogs and enjoyed the 70+ weather. Gorgeous day!

While in Yakima I actually got my long (for me) run in for the week at a nice clip. I started telling myself I just had to go for a mile, then two, then three, then well...let's go for four...oh heck, you can do five! Ended up with 5.25 at a pace of 9 min most of the time. Generally I keep my long (for me) runs at a slower pace, but I didn't start out intending it to be any more than a 30 minute run (which I lowered to a one mile run when I started because I thought I wasn't up to it). I also did elliptical, bike, weights, and abs while there over the four days. I'm proud of myself that I didn't let excuses get the better of me. I'll admit that I didn't do as much Saturday as I should (30 min elliptical run only because the treadmill in the hotel was too rickety to run on), but I had averaged 3.5 hours of sleep a night over the last 3 nights so I was happy to do even that.
