CASUAL run challenge--july (Page 23)

My training has kinda gone out the window this week for a few days. My dw went to a conference in Chicago on Sunday morning and does not return till late Wed night. In addition to her reg full-time job she sells "Pampered Chef" (fancy cookware stuff) so she is at their national conference. Man that must be an oestrogen fest in that hotel this week!

Anyway with her gone I have not been able to get out on a decent run, bike or swim since last Friday!!!! I am going crazy, feeling guilty and have been eating like crap.

Need to do lots of making up from Thursday onwards.

It's been nice hanging out with kids though. We've been keeping busy going to swimming lessons, dollar movies, hanging in the park. Good fun and lots of rest for me!

I think I am gonna ride like mad man on Thursday on my way to work. Been watching the TdF every evening once the kids go to bed and I am all caught up on the 10hrs of recorded coverage I had.

Might need to take a trip to the import store and get a jar of Nutella (to finally try this Nutella ice cream potion) and few cans of Irn Bru and kick back and watch a good movie tonight.

Oh well.......I suppose I need to just make the most of the rest.

Sorry guys.......my goals are sucking in this challenge this month. I am glad it was a CASUAL challenge cos I would definitely be needing to put up a speedo shot if it wasn't!!!

Love this pic of your dd Tracy. Her little personality seems to scream out in this pic! Coolest girl around eh?

Fabulous! Had a great time! Of course they never last long enough! but I am exhausted and now need a vacation from my vacation!

dcrunningdiva - 2008-07-14 5:54 PM OMG!!!! Look what happened to my eyes when I ate my nutella/ice cream mix...maybe it was the Hershey's Almond bar I crunched up in it... BTW, I'm drinking a TON of water for the rest of the week thanks to that combo! Excuse the hat - it was a really bad hair day!

You go girl! you look fabulous (even bad hair day!!!) looks like a skinnier Tracy to me!!! kiu!
