Thank goodness!

Jewel - so glad the presentation went well! Your weekend sounds busy. I need a pedi like woah, mine are terrible!

RR: Rest day *dancing banana* 

NRR: So I tried to sleep a lot last night, but had trouble falling asleep and I woke up at 5:30 like normal. Bah! Anyway, we had G's last swim class yesterday. He's too young to have learned any techniques but he's very comfortable in the pool (likes to jump in!), can put his face under water, and lays on his back now (doesn't float, but finally will calmly lay on his back). I'm glad we did the class because it gave us some techniques for teaching him more. We also planned out little family vacay last night. We are going to Asheville, NC for a few days. Stopping at the NC Zoo on the way there, then in Asheville we'll do some hiking, a day at the lake, some touristy stuff, lots of eating, and then stopping at a science center on the way home. We got a hotel room suite so that G could take naps and go to be early in a separate room from us, so that should make everything work well. Anyway, who's glad it's Friday?! Wahoo!

Morning!

RR: I just HAD to run yesterday. I got home at 4pm and it was 67 degrees! The heat index was 40 degrees less than a week ago at the same time! Crazy. I ran 3 very easy paced miles and felt amazing. Like I am making progress, but the heat is masking it all. So yay! Today I am planning on my LR, but it's raining. Boo. I'll be checking the radar in hopes of a clear up. If not, maybe DH can watch C while I go tonight.

NRR: I'm off, but C seems to think 6am is a reasonable wake up time so I've been up for a while. Fun! Good thing I fell asleep reading at 9pm so I feel rested. I'm trying to get C on a nap schedule this weekend. He's so stubborn. He was whining and falling asleep on his play mat and now he's rolling around in his crib. Literally. He's started to try to "scoot" around. It's hilarious. He's growing WAY too fast. Anyways, not much going on today. My house is a mess so there's that.

Jewel - I'm glad your presentation went well. I knew you'd rock it!

Sassy - Yay I'm glad G loves the water so much! My nephew LOVES to jump in! Almost too much because he would jump if noone was there to catch him! We are working on the going to his back calmly thing. Mostly he just wants to splash!

Have a good day!

hi ladies!

RR: 1/2 mile cool down, strength training and 1/2 mile bike warm up. felt good to be back strength training today.

NRR: work day. Hoping to be out of here around 4pm. we'll see. my trip to pierre was good. It was for a vets home building. so now, on to design it and quick! eeks! I'm done with my other project - sort of. Now there's a new deadline! I also have some work news - related to a new one.... that I'm not going to share here. just send prayers and good vibes my way in the next couple of weeks!

jewel: hope you have some good recovery time! way to go on the presentation!

sassy: that's so cool that G is comfy in the water! such a good idea. As because I didn't spend any time in water growing up, I'm very uncomfortable in it.

gsd: hope you have some down time so you can rest and recover!

MA: I'm with C. I think 6 a.m. is a reasonable time too! :P Glad you're rested! Hope the rain clears up for you so you can get out for a workout!

Happy, happy Birthday, dear Meli!!!!!!  Hope you have a lovely day. Any plans to celebrate this weekend?

Jewel- Yay, I'm so glad the presentation went well! Have fun at the 5K. I love volunteering at races! So fun to see everyone all excited, etc. I never notice the other people much when I'm running them myself.

Sassy- That sounds like such a FUN vacay! I really want to go to Ashville! Enjoy your rest day. sorry you couldn't sleep in much!

MA- Aw, picturing C rolling and scooting! Adorbs! Good job on going to bed early to get some more rest. You're doing GREAT with your PP running!

Lizo- Glad you've gotten back into strength training. Does M do it with you? Good vibes are heading your way!

GSD- I can't imagine the heat and humidity, esp after being gone from it!

RR. Put in an easy 4.5 yesterday and a 2 mile walk, plus crunches/plank. Today, rest day, but will be hiking on our trip!

NRR. We leave at 10am for our weekend trip! We're driving with one couple up there, and the other is meeting us there tonight. Super excited, but HATE HATE HATE leaving L behind. All sorts of anxiety about it, which kept me up most of last night. Sheesh.

Sassy! My sister’s three children are taking 1-1 swimming lessons. The 4 year old can already float and touch the wall on her own, the 3 year old cannot float he sinks in and he likes the pool to play but not for swimming lessons, and the 9 month old can float on her own without assistance!!! Asheville sounds so much fun!!!

GSD, The H&H are probably worse right now. yaiks!!!!  Welcome back!

Ma, I heard there was a cold front around MA! Lucky you!!!

Jewel, so glad the presentation went really well! Good luck with all the running and planning this weekend. I hope you can nap!

Lizo, Crossing my fingers for you!!

NC, have a great time hiking! L will be fine. He’ll be home in his environment and with his surroundings!!

So TriR: Unscheduled Rest day! I love it. I had a 1 hour bike and 3 mile heat run scheduled, but I am taking off today since my legs are fatigued. I might run later today I might now. I have a one mile OWS tomorrow and Sunday we have a local triathlon. Oh and the IM is first weekend in November in Panama City Beach, Fl. Temps should be very nice and much cooler, but my coach has me doing heat runs so I can acclimate better for training since I have a long hot summer ahead of me.

NtriR: I feel fabulous! DH woke me up with breakfast in bed, a beautiful card, and lots of hugs and kisses. Going to lunch with a friend of mine, then having dinner at this sassy place with DH and his fam.

Make it a great day!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday!!

RR: Rest day today. I had a great 3-mile run yesterday. It felt a lot more normal (though still slow) like how I was running pre-pregnancy. I guess if I can get a run like that sprinkled in here and there, that's motivation to keep trying! Oh, and I picked out a goal 10K for the fall, I think. Have to decide  if I can really do it because its the weekend before A's birthday and we have yet to make any plans for that. Anyway, hopefully soon I can figure out some kind of training plan and have that motivation since I don't do well without a goal race and it's definitely been showing the last few months!

NRR: Got a late start today. Have a list of things we'd like to get done this weekend... hopefully sleeping in is one of those things we actually accomplish! The last couple weekends P's woke up to eat at 6 and then A wakes up for the day by 7, before I can get back to sleep from the feeding. P's been waking up all week between 4:30 and 5 (except today) to eat. I'd prefer he gets up a bit earlier to eat on the weekends because then I can get back to sleep! Anyway, highlights of the weekend should be farmer's market tomorrow, getting A's hair cut (and maybe mine) and then a family get together Sunday for my sister's going away before she leaves for Spain.
