I postponed my bike yesterday morning in lieu of getting some actual sleep. Instead I did it in the evening. It was a short bike with some jumps (maximum effort for 30 seconds) thrown in and I had fun. It was exciting as a major dust storm was slowly rolling in and I could see the lightening and clouds getting closer with each loop I did. But made it home with plenty of time before it actually hit.

I typically have a short run this morning. But since I biked last night and then have personal training later this morning I decided to cut my legs some slack. I may run this evening again...we'll see. It's nice having the kids in school and getting back into a real routine!

Happy hump day everyone!

Sounds great Val

We found a major plumbing problem in bathroom sinks and hope it gets fixed right, lots of projects but in the end think we'll be ok.

It wasn't smokey until we got close to here in Grants Pass, i can't wait for clear skies again.

I had a great time on beach, the salty air was good.

Today doing Nia at gym then doing laundry. Then writing my to do list, have a lot to set up for move.

This thread starter is exactly why I'm afraid of doing a triathlon.

I took a rest day yesterday. I had a massage after work, which didn't really take care of what I needed it to, and then went home and read the rest of the evening.

At 4:30 today I'm trying out a new class - it's a mix of pilates, yoga, sculpting (low weight/high rep) and core work. The instructor is the same lady who teaches our pilates & body sculpting classes in my office, but this is at the studio where she works. Someone from work (another Laura) is coming with me. I told Laura I'm way more likely to go if I have someone to go with me. I'm horrible about wimping out on doing things by myself where I'm walking into a new situation. I technically work until 4:30 but the studio is just a few blocks from the office. On the way home I'll stop at one of the trails & get in my run. It's warm today and is supposed to get humid, plus Jason bumped up my intervals, so I'm interested to see how that turns out.

Hope new class works out Laura!

Marla I'm an idiot. I totally intended to congratulate you on the house and then didn't bring it up at all, so I just came back to say something. So glad you found something, and hopefully the next steps all go smoothly. Will you & your husband do any of the renovations yourselves, or do you hire people? My parents used to flip houses before flipping houses was cool, just because they enjoyed the process. When the house was done they'd sell it and we'd move. I unfortunately didn't inherit those skills.
