    It was difficult to find the time to blog everyday, so I have been blogging just once a week.

    Monday- run 5k, slow. alone. peaceful

    Tuesday -swim, walk 5k

    Wednesday -run 7.5k good pace

    Thursday -swim, bike 10k

    Friday- Bike 10k . Slow, with kids 

    Saturday - Panther Run 5k. It was pouring rain, but my son still said he wanted to go. My goal was to run along with him and encourage him to finish. Because of the heavy rain, he was the only kid that showed up.  I think he was a little sad that his friends we invited didn't show up. But then, at kilo 2.5, we saw the 3 kids, and their mother, standing on the side of the road, under their umbrellas, cheering him on. It was so nice. I talked the 3 boys into joining us for the rest of the 5k run. The boys ran along together giggling and occasionally stopping to look at random items floating down the gutter,  but they made it to the finish line. I think they will join us again next run.

    My week in review:

    mon- swim 2k. I need to start runnning after I swim. The next few weeks, I am taking an Israeli cooking class right after swimming so I won't be able to run after swimmming on Mondy. We make such yummy stuff in that class and the teacher is great.

    tues- Helped support a friend on a hunger strike, so I didn't get to exercise.  After 5 days they were granted refugee status and will be headed to USA soon.

    wed- run7.5k (3 times around the lake). Helped pack emergency kits to hand out to flood victims. SE Asian people get rice, a bottle of fish sauce and curry packets in their emergency 72 hour kits. I think I'll stick with my granola bars.    

    thurs - swim 2k, bike 3k (heavy downpour, ended early)

    fri- boot camp, run 3k. I need to run more after boot camp, even if only a short run. 

    sat- run 10k (4 times around the lake), during kilo 9 a friend talked me into stopping by the condo building and running up and down 17 flights of stairs. I am paying for that today. Finished with a slow 1/2k swim. Yeah - It was the last day of basketball season and spending endless hours watching my 2 boys playing games on Saturday. It was fun, but I am ready to get my Saturdays back. Late at night, I finally had the time to make cookies. 

    Sun- I ate too many cookies, I guess I better give the rest away soon.
