We are trying to find our groove for July with no school and no kid's activities. The evenings are kind of slow and casual and relaxed. I am keeping up with laundry. I never keep up with laundry. One day this winter, I had to send Matthew to school in a pair of my running socks as the kid did not have one pair of clean socks...oops. I went out that day and purchased about 10 pairs so that "should" never happen again. I know, my dad would tell me that is the easy way out, but really...
We made it to the cabin for the long weekend. Was a gorgeous weekend and the kids had a blast. We rented and watched all 4 of the Indiana Jones movies. Who knew that there was an actual story line in those films? I did not remember that. AND now Matthew wants to be an archeologist...oi. He hums the theme song over and over again. Indiana is his new hero! We played 100 games of UNO and went for many walks. A family of deer has made its home in our yard so that was kind of neat to wake up and see a mama deer and her two babies each morning.
As for training...well...I have deemed July "Get Kelly Fit On Her Bike" month. The problem has been that each time I have scheduled to go for a ride, it is pouring rain!! So I have been on the TRAINER....IN JULY!!! I have 2 whole hours (I know some of you doing Ironman are rolling your eyes...but 2 hours!! That's ALOT for me!!) scheduled for Saturday morning. Rain, rain ...stay away. But before that, I have Friday afternoon booked off and we are going to play LAZER TAG!! How much fun?!! I will let you know.
This week I have 11 hours on the schedule. ELEVEN. And several 2 per day workouts. wtf? But I told him I had the time now with no stuff going on in the evenings....so? Here I go!!

Life lesson number one....you can never have too many socks! And I would never make fun of someone doing any length of ride as next year it is all about sprint distance and relays for me!
I loved Indiana Jones growing up and I barely remember a story line either. Too funny. Sounds like a great weekend (and month of July, too).
Good luck w/ the 2 hour ride. That seems like a lot to me. But, well, that's because I walk as my workouts now. :)
You can never have too many pairs of underwear either! Hee-hee!
2 hours is awesome Kelly -- and you only have yourself to blame -- you told your coach you had the time now!! Hahahahahaah!!!
Lazer tag!!! WOW -- Let us know how it goes! :) :) I've always wanted to play paintball. :)
A storyline? Who knew? My only way of dealing with kids involves lots of duct tape. Have fun on your bike!
