Summer Is HERE!!!!!!
....and I'm already running the kids ragged. They better sleep real good tonight :-)
Trinity still has school so I had to get her on the bus at 8:15 a.m. Poor thing! Lincoln is done and he had his friend Hailey spend the day with us (actually I was babysitting her) and after Trinity got on the bus I took Lincoln, Hailey and Roxy back up to Highland Lake. I picked up my mother on the way and we were at Reggie's cottage at 9:30 a.m ready to swim.
Another gorgeous day in the sun, warm temps and refreshing lake water. The kids swam, ate, swam, ate, swam, drank, swam, drank and then we had lunch and back into our normal clothes to head home to get Trinity off the bus. Shortly after Trinity got home and Hailey's Dad picked her up, my neighbor calls to have the kids over to swim. Suits back on guys! One hour swim at her house, home for some leftovers and showers and then back out for groceries. It is now 8:57 p.m. and my kids just went to bed and I just finished unpacking the food. Phew!
WOD - Rest day today. I feel like a lazy bum but I don't know if I would have had any time.
Food - Not too good today but not too bad. How does that sound?
Ass - Sore still! I'm actually pissed that it is bothering me again but not like it has been in the past but it's there. Damn thing!
Kids - They did a wonderful job today. Some minor issues with Roxy but nothing crazy! She did sleep in the car on the way home plugging in about an hour for nap but she needs to be in bed for at least two hours. I just hope she sleeps in tomorrow!
Race #2 - I haven't been working out so crazy but I have been working out almost every day. I'm either teaching, swimming, running or biking but not really doing much of my crossfit stuff. I have three weeks before my second race and I think right now I just need to maintain and focus on my outdoor rides and open water swim. And that is what I'm trying to do.
Time to shower and hit the sack. This mama is super tired and so done with keeping my eyes open. I want night night time!

Happy Father's Day.....
.....to all you Big Daddy's out there :-)
What a GREAT day! Woke up early which sucked but let Daddy sleep in today. Read the Sunday paper, made eggs for breakfast and laid around the house for a bit. Packed everything and everybody up and headed up to Highland Lake for a Father's Day picnic at my father-in-law's girlfriends' cottage that she rented for the week.
Hit Walmart first for a quick card and visited Dad at the cemetery. He has a headstone now and his wife did a beautiful job picking it out. It has a cabin at the top with a lake and a bunch of pine trees. That is my father 100%. The off to the cottage we go.
Arrived around 11 a.m. - we hit the little beach on the lake first, back to the cottage for some snacks, went down to the dock to jump into the water and hang out, had a delicious lunch with beef tips and some yummy side dishes, back to the dock, threw my sister in the canoe so I could get in the water and swim.....
WOD - Swim in open water for 40 minutes. The lake was not so busy until I went out. Murphy's Law!Kate had the canoe next to me to protect me from all the boats but the waves were unbelievable. I felt like I was swimming in the ocean. However, I did GREAT! I felt confident, strong and very comfortable in the water even though I was swallowing a ton of it. Now just throw 100 more people around me and then lets see how I do.
After I came back from the swim we had dessert (I pigged out BIG TIME) and hung around the dock some more. Finally left at 6 p.m. with some extremely exhausted but really happy children. They swam and played all day with the other kids. It was so much fun!
Cereal for supper and pj's on super early. It is 8:12 p.m. and Roxy and Lincoln are sleeping while Trinity is reading and on her way out soon. She has bloodshot eyes!
It was a great day today and a big THANK YOU to my husband for putting up with all my shit. I think he's slowly getting sick of it but he puts on a good front.....love you poopie!

Why is it that running makes me POOP!
.....and I was careful today to eat good before I headed out at lunchtime. My word! But this time I made it back to the toilet instead of hugging a tree. That would be great having me hanging out my ass on RT10 for everybody to see.
WOD = 6.39 mile run in 57:11. Much better then last Friday...phew! Started off good but my lower half was miserable around the half way point. I did not understand some of the crazy sensations that I was getting in both glutes and hips. My entire left side was unhappy from the beginning but quickly warmed up but then I was getting some weird cramp in my right ass cheek. Very bizarre! Maybe my body is telling me something because when I laid down to stretch I could barely more my legs off the ground to even try to stretch. I think stretching is more painful then the actual run.
My thoughts while I was running:
"I just want to be a super skinny bitch for a year and not have to worry about working out!"
"Is it better to be super skinny with high cholesterol or large, healthy and always having to workout?"
"Am I going to need new hips and knees when I"m 60?"
"Maybe I should give up all this crazy cardio shit and body build!"
"Oh boy, how am I going to race in Providence without my husband or BFF racing with me?"
"I wonder how the run course is.....maybe set a goal to walk only at water stations."
"One more big race and then what???? Maybe relax for a bit!"
"Now what do I have going on next week?"
"Uh oh! I better run faster so I can go potty!"
Yesterday I had my underwear on inside out.....today was no deodorant. I did not notice this until after my run when I was getting dressed. The "odor" was much stronger then I have ever noticed. Then I realized....holy shit....I did not put deodorant on. At least I am wearing underwear today :-)
Can't stand sitting at my desk these past two days. My body doesn't like it and I don't like it. I'm not super busy so I'm doing more sitting instead of getting up and down all the time to hit the printer/copier/meetings etc. Is it time for me to quit this damn place? Hubby won't allow that!
Just finished my garbage salad (baby spinach, yellow pepper, edamame nuts, carrots, broccoli, tomato, ham/cheese) a can of soda and now my belly is very happy. No wonder why I'm pooping all the time....geez! Chomping on gum to satisfy the need to keep my mouth happy and then I'll have my yogurt in a little bit. Tonight is pizza night so I'm looking forward to a nice yummy dinner.
Kids - Lincoln's last day of school and it was Field Day at Camp Sloper....poor boy has a shitty day for it too. We had a fight this morning because he was being a real pain in the ass. I, not being the cool, calm and collective one, went off on him after I gave him nice mommy for a bit. Todd saves the day by talking and being a chilled out Dad. You always need a good cop and a bad cop around. I just don't like having my 6 year old tell me that I'm wrong....big mistake baby cakes! The rest of the gang was fine and I just shoved everybody off to school.
Ass - very achy today and sitting here does not help. I have not had this ache in a while so maybe I did something this week to piss it off. I'm thinking lunges because I don't do them too often. Squats I do all the time so maybe that is what it is.....either way it's fucking annoying. Time for some advil.
Back to work before I get fired.
