to motley crue on bones. WTF. i do love me some tommy lee though although they aren't giving him nearly enough screen time..
on saturday eric and i had the rare opportunity to get out and go mtn biking together. just the two of us. we went out to fall city. i hadn't ever been there but eric has been a ton. it was perfect for what I needed to do that day but i prolly won't go there on a fun girls ride ever. there was a ton of road climbing. a ton. which was good because i was able to work hard and get up that hill. and there was a fun uphill single track climb with switch backs that we did twice that i was pretty happy i made it up in my middle ring! the parts that were single track were really fun and pretty technical so i got to work on my skills. there were some tricky decents and a few totally sketchy down hill switchbacks that i did not do but i did do one that was pretty tricky so i was pretty happy. it was a ton of fun. mark from work and his wife were watching the kids so we rushed home so they could go about the rest of their day. the kids looooved them. sirus has named mark as one of his boyz. hopefully we can get them to baby sit again! then off on a 20 minute run real quick.
then we all got dressed up, except sirus, he wore shots and a ghost shirt, and went out to dinner to celebrate mother's day. and i got trashed and ate a TON. it was sooooo good. so good and exactly what i needed. the kids were a ton of fun ad it was a great evening.
sunday was a rest day and mother's day! the kids brought me cards and breakfast in bed. eric took the kids to pick out cards. he showed them where the mother's day cards and said they could pick out any they wanted. sirus picked out one with some candy on the front and when you opened it it played that son "i want candy." he loved that card and would open it and wiggle his funny little dance. thats all great and all except on the inside of the card was a dude in a banana hammock!! pretty funny. eric said he tried to get sirus to change his mind but he really wanted that one. the kids and i went and got them some new summer clothes and then we went and got them some hair cuts. waaaay cute!
monday i couldn't want up in time so i missed masters. i need to stop that but xtie meet me at mercer island. i did a pretty hard workout and am sticking to my thought that its a meters pool. i didn't get home until almost 10. ugh.
tuesday was our very first LUNA ride - so fun!!! i showed up early and went out for 40 minutes first on my own since i had a workout i needed to do. then all the girls showed up and we headed out on the sammamish river trail and up and around the hollywood hill loop. wow! that was fun! i only managed 3 of the 5 zn 4 efforts i was supposed to do but I did go 20+ minutes longer than I was supposed to. once again, I didn't get home until late, this time after 8.
but on wednesday i was able to get up for masters. part of what got me out of bed was that i knew I wouldn't have to go again until monday. i am not very swim motivated right now. but i wore the hamburger suit and had fun. i realized 1/2 the battle is getting out of bed and the other 1/2 is getting in the water. the actual workout isn't a battle, its generally fun and i usually like it.
that night eric dropped the kids off at my work and we hung out there for a little then the 3 of us went to sirus's favorite place ever, red robin. he wanted a hangaburger (as he calls them) with a side of corn dog. we had fun. they were both really good and i was happy to spend the time with them. it seems like i just don't get to do that nearly enough.
after they went to bed i did a 45 minute run on the treadmill and was finally done at 9pm. these lte night workouts are not the best.
today i was worried about the track workout. i was excited but worried. this morning i had an egg sandwich at home but while i was driving to work i was so starving still that i went to starbucks and got a scone. i just knew i would never make it until snack time. we had some out of towners in the office so we went to lunch and i chowed down on the awesomest firebread pizza ever. but yeah, it was too much and it made me kind of dehydrated and burpy the rest of the day. all this helped add to the not so sure about the track workout. amy met me at the house and we ran down to the track. i was to do 4x1200 with the first in 5:20 and the last in 5:05, each with a 3 minute lap in between. lest just day i did 4x1200 but not how it was supposed to go. first one was 4:59 and the remaining 3 were 5:20. ??? that and i almost left it all out on the track. ugh that wouldn't have been pretty. i am happy with how hard i went but not happy with how i don't know how to pace. i guess that is a skill i will have to learn.
tomorrow is a rest day although I am supposed to do some core work. then OMG i just looked at my schedule, and I am just like yikes! saturday is a 50 minute pre-ride, sunday is a mtn bike race followed by a 40 minute zn3-4 run. then monday i have masters swimming and another track workout! its not as long, only 4x400s but the are fast and followed by a 1 mile! and then!!! on tuesday i am doing an open water swim in water that is supposedly only 46 degrees. yikes! wish me luck but really i might bail on the open water swim!
