so here is the deal. last week was a record week, but then this week was a record breaking week. over 22 miles of running, over 103 miles on the bike, but i think only 2.6 miles swimming, but still it was a good week. i skipped out on friday's swim since i have been kind of sick and i cut the bike ride on friday short by 15 minutes, too. throat is sore, there has been some coughing, what the hell and then the super what the hell my shoulder has been hurting. my left shoulder has always kind of hurt even with the tiny bit of swimming i had done last year it would hurt. when i met with the swim coach she helped me learn to rotate more and keep my stroke infront and that seemed to help then i think i slept wrong or something on it and now its been hurting all the time. it felt fine on saturday but then today its been killing me. i think carrying sirus around this morning didn't help it. my coach suggests that i need to stretch out my pecks and some other things and maybe that will help, damn i hope so. i think eric is just sabotaging me since i told him i might wind up beating him out of the water. here is a photo of where it hurts:
but gosh i hope it gets better soon. i took today off and then i'm not going to swim again until wednesday. then she is going to have me do another 1000y tt on friday!! yikes!eric did a 5k race on saturday. his first ever that wasn't at the end of a triathlon or while pushing kids in the stroller. he did great. he was 11th overall which was his bib number, too. but then he came in 2nd in his age group! this was his benchmark race so now he is thinking he might do some running training and see what happens!
the kids did the kids 1k race and wow!! they were both kind of freaked out when i told them i registered them. seamus was worried it was going to be a full 5k like the last one she did and was happy to hear it was only 1k since 5ks is a lot of ks. sirus was worried because he said he wouldn't be able to keep up with seamus but i told him it was ok and that i would run with him. but wow! he ran super fast for quite a while!! he was booking, i hadn't ever seen him run so fast but then he said his tummy was starting to hurt so we slowed it down and eventually we walked. he did run accross the finish like. he got a medal, too.
it was his first one ever. he had gotten ribbons before but this was his first medal and boy was he proud. seamus had gotten medals for her triathlons and she was happy to get one for this race but sirus was so excited and wore his all day. today we picked up a desk for sirus's room.
we figured that maybe if he had his own desk he would start to draw some more or somethin. he was very excited and was more happy to have someplace else to drive his cars and trains...today i had alreayd decided i wouldn't ride but then when i woke up it was snowing followed by torrential rain storm followed by sun and wind storm followed by hail followed by rain followed by snow, repeat, etc.
