It is February 10, and two months from now on April 10, Caleb and I will be racing!
It has been a little tricky trying to balance everything over the past week. Both of us have been very busy working, taking care of the Lu (which is actually quite a responsibility and time commitment), trying to clean, cook and stay caught up on chores at home, and workout!
This past weekend, “workout weekend,” Caleb and I decided we would begin to combine our sports and do a little mini triathlon of our own. Saturday morning we got out to the gym and swam half a mile. That afternoon, we went out west for a 33-mile ride. It was absolutely beautiful!
I got to try out my new wheels!
I love my husband and my new bike!
I think our hardcore carbon road bikes look pretty darn good together J
After our bike ride and a quick first trip to Burger King (I do not think I had ever had Burger King before...probably when I was a kid, but I do not remember), we headed back home to finish our little weekend triathlon. Caleb, our little Lulabelle the Athlete, and I ran our 3-mile loop from the apartment.
We were both pretty exhausted after our Saturday workout. We slept in on Sunday, went to church, met Sarah Henderson for lunch at Niko-Niko’s (a fun Greek restaurant - http://www.nikonikos.com/ ), watched Roman Holiday and took a nap that afternoon…it was a wonderful, beautiful day.
Neither of us was really up for a workout that evening, so we took a family trip to walk around Buffalo Bayou. The greenway near our apartment runs on the north side of the bayou, but there is a mountain bike trail that runs along the south side of the bayou. We were able to let Lulabelle off her leash to run free, hunt, and be happy! She loves it out there.
I have my Lulu and my Lululemon, two of my favorites. I am a happy girl!
They have bonded!!
their little feet are even in sync
happy to get out and play
This week has been pretty busy. I ended up having to work one eleven-hour day and another nine-hour day. I have come home exhausted and unwilling to go workout. Tuesday was the one day I did not work too long. I was able to take my husband lunch at work, run errands, take Lu for a five-mile greenway run, and meet Caleb back at home to take Paula’s spin class at the gym that night.
Caleb had to head to Carthage yesterday morning, so Lu and I have been pretty lazy around the house for the past 24 hours. We finally got out this morning for a little run. We ran the mountain bike trails for two and a half miles until the trails connect to the greenway, and we ran back on the greenway. It was a nice little five-mile run to get us moving today. Other than that, I am just working on chores around the house, preparing for our "First Married Valentine's Day" celebration this weekend, waiting for Caleb to get home tonight, and mentally preparing for what is to come in two months!
