Well, as I just finished a workout, I am thinking where in the world has all my time gone? How did I accomplish this while I was teaching? Seems like I get up, workout and ski and now it is time for bed again!
To begin, I am helping a friend build a deck and that is consuming some time. But I really enjoying building things like this, I love seeing the final outcome of the deck. I am trying to get this done before they get there pool installed. Secondly, I am trying to stay on track with my triathlon training and keep getting better at what I do in the ski show!
The ski show is coming along great! If you have not been out to see us, The Backwater Gamblers, you are missing out. I believe it is a GREAT show. I am in seven acts of the show and run crazy during the show, I can't imagine being in more acts, but I want to. I want to help the team out as much as possible! We have a really good group of people willing to help everyone out and I really enjoy this! Last night, i had some team members really encourage me to get out and hit the jump. This is something I did not think I would do, but I did it and it was AWESOME! What a feeling soaring through the air like that. Although the landings were a little bit off, probably funny to watch. I will get it though, I have some great teachers out there! I also got some good strap doubles practice in with my partner. Good night of skiing overall but didn't get home till 9:00.
This morning, I needed to get a bike ride in. Mary had to help out with a garage sale so I decided to just sleep in and get some rest. I have been up training at 4:30 everyday this week, I think I deserved some rest! I am glad I did as I feel a little more refreshed now. Instead of getting outside, I used the trained and had a nice little workout on the bike. I need a couple more rides this weekend so I will ride over to the Race for the Cure tomorrow to get one more in. Sunday, hopefully a swim and bike to end out the week.
I am looking forward to the QC Tri next weekend. However, I would be not be truthful if I did not say I am looking forward to a bit of a break. I am going to take some days off after the tri just to let my body settle and recover. I have done this much training for this long of a period of time in a long time. I am starting to feel the effects on my knees. Rest will be welcomed to say the least!
Tomorrow is Race Event #4 for the Live Uncommon Race Team. We will be supporting the Susan G. Komen Race for The Cure tomorrow. I will run this event, it will be at a slower pace than a normal 5k. This is more to honor the lives that have been taken by cancer and celebrate those who have battled and won. I will run to honor those I know....Donna Shoening, Melissa Bixby, Gail Zager, Chris Lennon, Lisa ( Reid's Friend), Nancy Blanche, Bev Hartwig and many others. Looking forward to some fun my my Live Uncommon Crew!
For now, I will push forward and see what I CAN accomplish in the next week. I know I am in shape for these events and now I just need to perform and have fun.
