From Flabulous to Fabulous

My client canceled so Roy and I went out (him on bike) for a meandering "as much as I feel like" run. Ended up doing eight miles and stopping for dinner on the way home. It was nice! What a beautiful day.
It was actually two Netflix DVDs. The first one lasted all of 15 minutes. It was some Self Cardio Power Advanced Workout. Advanced if you're an ameoba, I guess. After 15 minutes of watching Stepford Triplets prance around in front of the ocean I stomped into the office (my computer runs the TV in the studio) grumbling "I hate these girly mamby pamby workouts!" Loaded up a Jillian Michaels workout and went back in. Now THAT is a workout! She's mean and the moves are combined and painful, but in a good way! When I finished I felt like I'd really worked. I came out of the studio and Roy says, "I think she came out of the TV in here and slapped me a few times!" He was doing Wii Fit in the livingroom. Hee hee.

What am amazing day! I had SUCH a great time with my ladies, and I got to see Lisa and TONS of other people I know. I could sit in the middle of Marysville for ten days and not see anyone I know. I got to Seattle for a 5k and I see at least a dozen people, and that's not including the people I brought with me.
Good part of that, though, is that he agreed that we need "real" kayaks. I told him if I'd realized it would take a little fear to get him to see that, I would have poured water in the kayak months ago. We did get our money's worth, and we did determine it's something we want to keep on doing, though. So it was worth it. He will be so amazed at how much easier those are to handle than the inflatable. (It is, in all fairness, I high-end inflatable intended for calm waters. Nothing wrong with it, but I really wanted to take it out on the sound. We have a put in not a mile from our house that leads out to the slough or out to Puget Sound. The sound is protected there, but the cold water causes "shrinkage" so we learned early on we can't go out to the jetty because of that.)

W00T! My first EVER 60+ mile week! Seriously how FREAKING cool is that? I did the marathon Sunday and my long run today, since tomorrow is Iron Girl. I've had a BAD running week, too. I haven't felt good in any run at all until today. Today I woke up feeling like a million bucks! I think, looking back, I might have had some low-grade flu or something.
Not only that but we found our camera. Now explain to me how a camera that we lost before we bought the van was found in the van? Of course we've torn the house apart for DAYS trying to find it. Roy said he wanted to do one last-ditch effort and I said if we couldn't find it, I'd run to Walmart and buy another with my business money because I need pictures of tomorrow's race. He went to take something out to the van and lo and behold, there it is! Freaky!
