Has It Really Been A Full Week Already?
Hmm...seems as if I've been neglecting my blog for a bit...
Also, did anyone else notice that it's already MID-July?
YIKES!
Anyway, I had a great week. It was busy but fun and training was awesome!
Highlights:
1) Watching Le Tour. It's so fun and I'm really glad it's 3 weeks long because we aren't even halfway through!
2) Visiting some of my best college buds today. It was a beautiful day for a picnic!
3) Seeing one of my training partners get married yesterday. Watching drunk people dance is funny!
4) Getting lots of work done! Yahoo!
5) Running with O. It's my favorite. On Wednesday morning I coerced him into doing my hard run workout with me. And then this morning we had a great long run on my favorite trail.
6) Yesterday morning I started my long ride early (about 6 am) and rode for about 30 miles before I looped back to home to pick up O. Riding early on a weekend morning has to be my favorite thing to do. No cars. Just peace. The river was beautiful. Ahh...
7) And so as not to forget the swim...yesterday I had what I'm calling my best swim ever. This was rather surprising because (1) I swam after my long brick and (2) I really didn't even want to do the workout. Oh, and it was 600 repeats. Ugh. In my hot YMCA pool by myself. Double ugh. But sometimes our bodies surprise us 'eh? And improvement comes when it wants to, not when we want it to.
I was trying to think of low-lights but there really weren't any. Not any that I can remember anyway. I tend to have a selective memory though...which really is quite a wonderful thing! :)
I hope everyone has a great start to their weeks!

Yes! to early summer rides. I did one today and it is so AWESOME to be done with 4 hours of riding and it isnt even noon yet!
I Can relate to hot pools but i never seem to have those surprises, at least not yet. Hopeful, tho.
Have a great week Beth!
