The result is that I've been rather discombobulated. My attention is all over the place; I seem unable to accomplish anything of consequence. I DID get in my training this week despite the amount of time my lovely family was at home. I squeezed in runs during Jordan's two day swim meet. I watched Scooby Do re-runs with my kids while riding the trainer. I swam and did yoga before anyone was awake.
And today I got out of the house for a long walk in the woods with the pups. (I thank my wonderful husband for allowing me the respite! Not that I asked. I kinda just left.... :)
The woods were cold and still and lonely and the snow was deep. We lost the trail a few times, but that made it all the better.
I also spent a good chunk of the weekend at Jordan's swim meet in Milford. We arrived for warm up at 7 am on Saturday, and she didn't have her first event until 9:45, so I got in a nice, butt cold 10 mile run while I waited. Milford is an hour away by car from where we live, but knew the roads well since I ride there frequently. It was actually quite cool to run on roads that I have only ever ridden on.
Then it was back to the hot pool to watch Jordan swim!
She's getting more and more fun to watch. Here she competes in the 200 IM.
Here is a closer shot, just cause I know you are fascinated!
I am working on a post that involves a discussion of a book I just read called Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex. I tell you this only because I have been so boring lately in my writing, and I don't want you to give up on me just yet. I do have some somewhat unsavory and controversial things to say. They are just percolating right now-getting ready to be spewed forth... not to be too graphic or anything.

We are only supposed to get 1.5 inches tomorrow, that is nothing, right? You are my here for watching Scooby Doo while on the trainer. And your kids are awesome for putting up with the trainer noise; my kid screams and tells me to stop, even though the bike is quiet. Jordan looks like an awesome swimmer. And I love the tattoos:)
Such cute pups.
Great idea to make your waiting time for the swim meet some quality run time.
Good luck to your daughter in her swim meets. My hubby is trying to perfect his stroke for triathlon training. Swimming isn't easy.
Nah, it sounds like I'll just wait for the movie to cum out. I'll pass on that book thank you.
lol
I absolutely watch scooby doo while on the trainer, my 4 yr loves nothing else. Swim meets are definitely crazy and way to long, I only wish I could leave during them to do something like a long run but unfortunately my son tracks me down and doesn't want me to leave. I gotta like the love this probably won't last forever. Keep up the good work.
we used to write all over our bodies too!! Remember?? Jordan Does look great in the water!!
Wow, your little one is such a studette! She looks awesome in the water. I wish my folks had gotten me into athletics when I was a kid.
I am impressed that you were able to get a run in while at a swim meet!
Jordan looks intent! I am looking forward to your perspective on Baker's book and evolutionary logic! I no longer trust anyone.
LOVE the writing on the body idea!!!!!!!!
Looks like an awesome walk with your dogs. Kudos for getting in your 10 miler in Milford :). There are some good back roads out there that I've been on as well.
Hey Mary - I'm a new follower. :)
Love the girls writing on each other - I totally did that as a kid. And yep, we were so cool! :)
I wish we could take our dogs out in the wilderness to explore! Unfortunately with the sheer amount of snow right now, they can hardly pee in our backyard without suffocating. The snow is tall than them, so they have to stretch their necks up above the snow to breathe while walking. HA!
