Marla - So glad the cough is getting better! Having all those guests must be crazy! But it sounds like you're having a good time.

Laura - hopefully the weather is better for you today! It was 102 here on Wednesday but then dropped back down to the 70s this weekend.

Sherry - glad you found out the source of the smell! Good luck with cleaning/projects.

Yesterday started off well, was super stressful in the middle, and ended well. Weird day. I got distracted, left the water running, and had puddles of water everywhere. Kids were not the best during that time and then I was late for the mandatory meeting for my race today. Luckily, the race meeting was super long and tedious...so I made the very end of it, and missed the boring parts.

Have my very first duathlon today. It was supposed to be a triathlon, but they drained Tempe lake to take out the temporary dam, because they had finally finished the new dam. It was refilled last week, but I guess the race planners didn't want to risk being stuck without water. if the were delays. So they switched it to a DU. 5k run, 40k bike, 5k run. They have a big brunch available afterwards with two free glasses of wine. So I'm looking forward to that part! It's an all female race too, which is a nice environment to race in. Not quite as competitive and a little more relaxed.
Had to drop my bike off yesterday so I don't have to lug it with me this morning. Off for some breakfast and then away we go!
