-Drove 1000+ miles

-Ran my “long” run on a pretty paved bike trail near my in laws house
-Mowed my lawn
-Lots of laundry
-Cleaned out Mr. Pi’s closet

-Watched “The Kings Speech” and really liked it
Things that didn’t get checked off the list…
-Start the book club book
-Re-do blog layout

All in all, a successful long weekend. We spent two nights with my in-laws in CA and got back home really late on Sunday night. Monday, I spent not thinking about work but doing lots of house and yard work.
Week 1 of tri training went pretty well. I’m loosely following a plan I found online. I didn’t get in my tempo run or my long swim BUT honestly, the biking is really where I stand to make lots of improvements and I kicked biking booty last week so much so that my booty is even a little sore from sitting on the bike seat. I did three strong cycling sessions. 1) Hill repeats on the trainer where I really pushed myself HARD + an easy 1 mile brick run; 2) An easy 30 minute spin after a great swim; and 3) A kick ass, booty busting, spin class, where I got there early and stayed after to get in an hour and 30 minutes total + a fast, heart pumping brick run. My two swims were also good. I did an effortless pool swim and another open water swim with this girl—thanks for always being my OWS buddy. My runs were okay, still trying to maintain running without pain. I didn’t do any strength training-need to work on that this week.
I’m dreadfully behind on blogs. I have been reading from my iPhone but commenting from there is just a pain. Here’s to another week!

That path looks soooo good! I'd say shed building definitely counts as strength training.
I loved Kings Speech, such a great movie.
What a great weekend!
It sounds like you had a great weekend!
Spending lots of time laughing and enjoying family time is way more important than a tempo run! :)
I love making to-do lists, too! Sounds to me like you got a nice balance of great things accomplished. I have that movie on my library request list.
What's the book club book? I always like to know what people are reading. Sounds like you did some very fun things and got some things done!
sounds like you had an aggressive plan for the long weekend. celebrate the things you did and don't worry about the things you didn't do.
Building a shed most definitly counts as strength training.
Lots of yummy, but not healthy food. Check.
