still coughing...

DAMN!! This cold is hanging on to my chest! What a bugger! But feeling much, much better...sent the munchkins off to grandma's house for one night over the weekend and slept 10 hours...TEN HOURS!!! In ONE night!!! Was effing awesome.
The deck is coming along nicely. My husband is obsessed with it and it was a great weekend to get a very good chunk of it done. I LOVE IT!! I laid out there for a bit yesterday while he was pounding in nails and it was fantastic. We will be spending alot of time out there I imagine. Next up is shopping for a BBQ and some deck furniture....yey!! Anyone who wants to stop in for a beer on the new deck....c'mon over!! But bring bug spray. eeek!
On the workout front....have done nothing. As in nothing. I tried to run on Sunday morning as the local triathlon was happening out at Pike Lake and I was feeling a wee bit motivated but the run went like this....run 10 minutes...cough...cough...coughcoughcough....run a bit more....stop and cough...run a few blocks...coughcoughcoughcoughcough....nice. And I tried to climb over a big pile of dirt under the freeway bridge to get to the other side and cut my arm on the fence. Who knew running could be that dangerous? I get home all sweaty, can't stop coughing with blood running down my right arm. Looked like I had been in a battle!!

Anyway, it's a new week and I have my workouts for the week and I intend to get them in. Coach Justin is over in France for the next couple of weeks...do you you know what major event is happening in France next month? That's right....The Tour De France!! And I don't really understand what he is doing (because sometimes he talks to me in cycling-code-talk) but it sounds like each cycling team has some guys that do some of the course before the Tour to give feedback and tips etc. Justin is on the support crew for one of those guys. I don't really understand, however, he was super excited and told me all about it and basically said, talk to you in a few weeks....get your workouts in!!!

And I found this....since Canada does not have a team at the World Cup, the next best thing is our neighbors to the south. I thought this was a cool video. Those? Are some super tough "good ole boys"!!! Check out "the look" at about 1:45...
