July 22, 2007

Balance

A week from hell. That is all I can say. The first 3 days at work were horrible. I had a complete meltdown at the end of my work day Wednesday. The weather this week, absolutely crappy. All week it was cool and rainy. What is up with that? July in Vancouver is suppose to be hot and dry! My training goals were not met to say the least. In fact the only training I got in was a 2000 yard swim with Bonnie Monday night. Thanks for swimming with me Bonnie!

This week I was smacked up along the head with the fact again that sometimes crap happens and that I can only do so much. Maybe, just maybe, I wasn't suppose to train this week. At least that is what I am telling myself. I have to remind myself that I am well trained and that I am going to do well at the Grand Columbian!

Now onto the good news....... I did get a swim in this week! I started vacation Saturday and was able to spend the week-end with my Dad and brother Ron at a antique engine show. I am most likely getting my dream bike this week! Kuota Factor. Oh I can hardly wait! More to follow about that. A planned 60 mile ride Monday on the La Center route. I WILL RIDE UP ALLEN CANYON!!!!

Weight 173

This week with vacation and all that goes with it:
Monday: 60 mile ride/ 2000 yard swim
Tuesday: 90 minute run
Wednesday: Bike fitting!
Thursday: 60 minute run
Friday: Off
Saturday: 45 minute Fartleks
Sunday: off

Back to your July 15th blog note--YES I AM 60 YEARS OLD!
To yesterday's comments--don't talk to me about RAIN!!!! If you need 'extra' training technique this week, feel free to bring your 'John Deere COMBINE' over to help me cut through 5 inches tall grass, man between Robert's fertilizer and the damn rain, me and my lightweight electric mower are going to have a bitch of a time 'mowing' the north '40!!!
Sounds like vacation is perfect time after crappy work week....for what it's worth old woman's wisdom is that it's a job, hopefully it helps pay bills and that the important 'stuff' is the great wife, kids you have and most of those treasured experiences get you through the crap part of Life 101!
The damn Oregonian newspaper is driving me crazy with all the IKEA articles and Nicole says she'll take me BUT I have to wait until the crowds die down.....
Last night for my last cig on front porch, here came momma deer and two cute cute cute little fawns....they just stood on our sidewalk looking at me, while Robie the cat eyes were BULGING as she hid behind flower pots! Poor Robert it is just killing him to have all the deer around us!
So have a great break week, have fun, you'll figure out some training I am sure and feel free to send any pics of the tractor shows!!! xoxox old old blond auntie
