    Tired to put in more effort this week. It paid off, but I have been sorea and tired. 

    Monday- 10k (Run 6, walk 2, run 3) bike 10k

    Tuesday- Swim 1.9k, walk 5k evening

    Wed- Boot camp. The nice teacher is back. Good workout, been sore the last few days. I was super tired but did a slow 3k run afterwards. Very slow, but did it.

    Thursday- Swim 1.9k, bike 10k, walk 5 k in evening. Still sore from boot camp. Even woke up in the middle of the night a couple of times because I was so sore.  

    Friday- Bike 22.5k I was still so sore from boot camp, riding my bike was about all I could do. Got in another little workout afterwards just cleaning the car- It was getting pretty scuzzy. Scrubbed, polished and shinned. All I need now is a new airfreshener. I think the  only way to keep it clean is to never let the kids inside again. :)

    Not sure what I will do Saturday. I shouldn't be very sore anymore,  maybe run and swim. I have to hlep my teenager with something early in the morning and then it looks like the day just stays busy.  My husband volunteered to coach the kids baseball team, but then he had to travel out of town so I'll be spending the afternoon standing out in the hot sun trying to help kids do something I know nothing about. Yikes.

    One good note I found out the time for the 10k I did 2 weeks ago. I thought my time was 1:10:00, it was really only 1:07:00. I was still last but not as slow as I thought. :) 

     Saturday-

    Yipee, got my exercise in before 8am. 5k run and swim 1k.  I even got up early enough to not need to wear sunscreen or a swim shirt in the pool. I saw a lot of friends walking today becuase tomorrow is their marathon. Someday for me, maybe, but not tomorrow. As I was running around the lake, I saw the Saturday ealry morning boot camp class. I tried to sneak by because I didn't want them to start begging me to join.  I smiled, ran by quickly and then 2 mintues later, they ran past me carrying car tires above their heads. I felt like a slacker but also felt so glad that I wasn't in boot camp class today.

    wow, that is a huge workout week! You really have worked hard this week and I can see how you'd be so sore. Then, you get an early morning workout and an afternoon baseball game in. I think you are superwoman :)

    It's hard to keep working out when you've got that really bad sore muscle business going on.

    I had that a couple weeks ago and just stayed in bed one morning. You did great just working through the pain.

    Hope your hubby gets back soon so you don't have to be the coach again.
