IMAZ

It's that time again...IRONMAN time! Today was spent travelling to Phoenix (upgrade - woot! but spent too much time on the computer this morning and forgot my IPod and reading material - boo!) and hanging out with Joe's sibs, aunt and grandparents. I am not uploading any pics yet because I forgot to pack the battery charger on my camera and don't want to risk losing juice tomorrow.

Looks like tonight is going to be an early night and I am going to be dreaming fast thoughts for the hubs...maybe a trip to Kona next year is in our future? Fingers crossed!

Early morning

I love the possibilities of the morning: waking up, making a mental to do list, enjoying the quiet. I love these things even more when I have a whole weekend off!{Thinking of being off from work: I can't decide if work is more stressful when we are super busy or super slow...the recession has finally been hitting H-town over the last few months and it is quite evident at my practice. But I guess I must keep on keepin' on.}

Anyhoo, I took a break from running this morning but still work up early. I don't like to break my routine, even on the weekends, because it makes it that much harder to get back into the swing of things come Tuesday morning. Joe was up already by 5 AM so he made me a nice fresh cup of coffee.He is going on superlong bike ride with some of his triathlon buddies today so he spent most of the morning getting ready. He left about an hour ago and is actually riding his bike to meet his friends, so even being a little green while exercising!{Yes, he is looking a little skinny these days...he is really focused on doing well in Arizona come November}
My plan for today? See patients for about 1 hour, practice yoga, have lunch with Tinger, get my hair highlighted, meet Joe for manis and pedis and rest before Marc's bday party tonight! And hopefully document the day in photos, as usual!

Sleeping in

You know you are used to getting up early when waking up right before 6am seems late. Of course Joe woke up at about 3:30 AM to ride the CompuTrainer before work. Yes, he is crazy crazy! I think, though, even he is getting a bit tired of all this training. I'm sure it will pay off in Wisconsin next month!
We had some major rain and thunder early this morning. Hopefully this will cool things off a bit. Only 2.5 days until I leave for VA...

TGIF

...even though I must work tomorrow - blah!! My back/butt started hurting again yesterday - must pay attention to posture and stretches!! I am enjoying yoga again so I don't want to stop but I just need to be more careful.

Joe and I have been getting up at the crack to run in the mornings. He is a crazed, obsessed boy. I am anxious for him to do well on his half-Ironman in Galveston on Sunday. THAT would be very good positive reinforcement that NO DRINKING is a good thing! I am so proud of him this month - I need to go pick him up a little surprise for his race and for his dedication.

That's all for now. I am just gearing myself up for a crazy busy day.
