ARGH... plan was to get up fairly early and get a short run in... woke up past 8 and it's getting hotter by the minute.  TONS of work to do today while  hubby is at work, mainly painting, but the days are running out, so this will probably be another one of those work my ass off "rest" days.  We've decided we cannot be without the truck this week, at least till after Waco, so we'll just wait to turn it in for repair till everyone is gone.  We have stuff we have to haul out of the house to the storage shed, and a couple of beds to pick up to bring in, plus we need the option of hauling 5 people.  Time for one more cup of Joe, gonna check logs and then it's work time!

So I know it looks like a pretty lame week training wise, but if I was logging all the crap I'm doing around the house, it would be right up there!  Yesterday I hauled I don't know how many buckets of hot water up the stairs for the carpet cleaner (our upstairs tub faucet has limed the button permanently shut that allows the water to go from the tub to the shower, so it's kinda hard to fill a bucket when the water is coming out of the showerhead), our bedroom is about 800 square feet (I KNOW, can you believe that??  It's the entire second floor of our house), and I did the entire carpet twice.  It sure looks nice now!  Inbetween I had to go get more cleaning solution... and since I had the machine for 24 hours, hubby decided I should do two of our area rugs too, so had to drag them outside since I didn't want to take a chance of the hardwood floors underneath getting wet.  Also did a bunch of touch up paint, did a few small repairs that included wood putty and sanding, and then painting.  I am just such a handy girl!! 

Today, hubby is supposed to make up his mind if he is going to do Waco or not.  He's had a beast of a week at work and hasn't trained at all, so we are going out to the lake to see if he thinks he can manage the swim.  I really want him to do it, because he is famous for impulsively signing up and then bagging.  Then again, if he DOESN'T do it, he'll stay home and make some fabulous Texas BBQ for our triumphant return from the race....  later today I am treating him to some shopping at the bike store, so I think we are heading down to Austin for lunch and shopping.  Hoping to pick him up some Speedplay pedals which I tried to talk him into when we bought his bike, but nooooooo, he opted for the Shimano SL's which he now doesn't like for the same reason I ditched them.  And possibly a tri top for him, I'm TRYING to take care of him so he doesn't look like a freakin' wierdo out there on the race course, if it was up to him he'd be wearing baggy cotton shorts and a Tshirt!

"Rest" day.... been busy steam cleaning carpets and doing touch up paint around the house.... My chore list is getting shorter!!!!
