It's been a great week so far, despite the hour of sleep that I seem to have lost. Getting up at 4am is a little nuts for me when I realize it is the old 3am. That for me is really the middle of the night. Eric and I had a weekend together at home. It was really nice to have nothing to do except figure out what movie we wanted to watch. We actually went for a great bike ride and Eric worked on the bathroom. We are keeping with the theme of "finishing" projects in the house this year. It's a close as we have come to a resolution for the year.
The girls have been swimming each week. After a not so good experience, she decided I need to teach her to swim. Ok, I can do that! I have mostly been having them just play and have fun, because that's what it's all about. Marley has been jumping in, putting her head under water and coming back up with a big smile. Payton is a little more hesitant. Last week I taught her how to float which was great. She tried it a few times with me and decided she would try on her own. Life jacket on of course, she went to another part of the shallow pool and before long was floating. It's fun and interesting to watch how my kids learn in completely different ways.
I've finally registered for my 1/2 marathon in April. I'm getting excited for this race and can feel my training taking shape. Only 4 weeks left! I'm looking forward to a weekend in Wenatchee, celebrating my mom's birthday, seeing an old friend and playing with my kids. Oh yes, and the race! I think I'm about in the same condition I was in 10 years ago, if not better.
The team is wonderful as usual. Inspiring me in new ways each week. I'm sending my 70.3 shoes off to Guatemala with John. Those shoes should have a pretty interesting story in the end! I'm loving watching the progress everyone is making. We are getting faster, stronger, more fit and most important, laughing a lot.
