Tri Dreaming

Wow, surprise surprise, I've been slacking on my blogging. Due to the fact that I am so far outdated, and don't actually have a lot of time to write, I'm just going to give a quick update of the past few days and then vow to keep this up a little better than I have been.

Last week was pretty screwed up due to Thanksgiving and such and the fact that I got stuck in Texas for an extra night and then had the "trip from hell" trying to get home the next day. Everything that could have gone wrong quite possibly might have. It was great. Needless to say, I didn't make it back to teach my noon class so I switched with Sharon, taking her 4:00pm on Tuesday in exchange. I did go to a cycling class that Monday night, and bodypump so that felt good. Tuesday I went to step in the morning, taught at 4 and then had a volleyball doubleheader which was actually quite fun. There was no swim class so that was kind of a nice break, but also means I haven't swam in ages cause heaven for bid I do it on my own. I hate to swim. Hopefully today. Wednesday I taught at noon which was fun cause Mark and my sister went (her first time indoor cycling). I did some weights at home, but nothing huge. We then headed up to our cottage for Thanksgiving which is in Cleveland, WI- home of nothing and no one. Great place though- on Lake Michigan. Here's the big accomplishment of the week... I ran 8.4 miles on Thursday! I felt like I could have gone on forever, but the knees were starting to get sore at the end and I'd been gone longer than the fam had expected so thought I'd better end then. It felt great though- I think that's the longest I've ever run!

I think the workouts pretty much ended with that for the week, but don't worry, the eating did not! What a holiday. It was a good time though.

Yesterday was a little better. Had to teach the back to back cycling classes before heading to work the desk from 12-4. Usually the classes are only 45 minutes, but I had some diehards that just kept asking for more so I actually did 2 hours... good thing I'd brought an extra water bottle. The turnover between participants was really fast and they wanted to get going so off we went. Later I stayed for body pump at 4 where Timmer and Mel met me (which was good because I would have otherwise bailed.) We then hit this awesome new food joint called roly poly which is all wraps and pretty darn healthy if you do it right. Definitely my new favorite place.

Anyway, I should go. Today's plans consist of noon cycling and hopefully a short swim after that just to refresh the memory before getting harassed by swim coach for not doing it right. Scary. Tomorrow should be fairly screwed up because I have two interviews scheduled (9:00 food concepts :( and 1:00 Trek :) we'll see how they go...) Still waiting for that call from Pacific Cycle.
