Good morning! Vilma, sounds like you've been busy! We also had a bit of a surprise with our first grade guest. I thought his parents would get him sometime yesterday (and so did he), but the mom called yesterday at lunch time and they were still finishing up the bike ride! So, one more night. The poor boy -- he's not really having much fun here -- we do not live quite like they do, with tv in the morning (not), etc. I guess my boys are used to playing more independently, too, because he seems to be bored a lot and needs someone to play with him -- my boys are sitting there doing legos or whatever, but he's not into it. Sigh. It's got to be hard on him -- away from his parents for a good solid week, in a strange house, etc. They are playing nicely now, with Travis still trying to sleep in a bit!!
I've been up for hours -- went for a run this morning, but it wasn't so great. I tried to do that cc "hiit"-like mix, and the first problem was shin splints (or is it just a splint when it's one side?!). I even put a longer warm up in there, but I think I still started with sprints too soon. So, I slowed down, tried to begin again, but the second problem is that I realized I just don't like the cc mixes, because you never quite know what's coming. He describes in the steady, so unless you create the mix with the right steady before the challenge, the description is off or nonexistent. So, 20 minutes in I switched to volume 1 and was happier. I finished and then did Stretch X -- almost an hour of stretching -- nice!
We are off to the fireman's bbq today -- they have games for the kids, a helicopter flies in, they use the jaws of life to open a car, etc. Good old fashioned fun.
Hottie, I hope you are feeling better! Maybe CLX can help get you back into a routine? Do you think Joe will try it? Or, getting Evee out for walks!
Chris, how was work? Waves to Joanne and Kathy, too!
