AM:
11:45 1 mile jog
30 min elliptical machine

PM:
30 min elliptical machine

So with my wife high on life from her 10 mile run she decided now is the time to sign up for a half marathon. Being the guy I am I decided I will run it too. The run is in September so I have plenty of time getting ready, but I will never catch my wife now! This commitment also means our summer is now on a predestined course. We will need to run each week and have a long run each weekend. This is going to be tough.

DINNER:
Filet Mignon, stir-fry veggies and Israeli Couscous.

Today was an OK day. There was a lot of speculation from yesterday’s bombing and the news played clips over and over so the mood of the day was a mix of anger and feeling bad for all who were injured. The world is crazy sometimes, the best you can do is pay attention to your surroundings, and be ready for the unexpected. Do not live in fear, but be vigilant.

Y3W10 Day 6

Posted on April 13, 2013 by admin

Today was a off kind of day. I slept in until 8:20 am! for exercise today we drove down to the Pentagon and then pedaled our bikes over into DC to see the Cherry Blossoms. We missed the peak. The peak happened on Wed or Thursday and with the rain and wind on Friday the blossoms suffered. We took some pix but it is not the same missing the peak.

Once home we had some lunch then some naps. After the naps we cleaned the house. We have family coming in to stay with us soon so it was time to clean. We did good but have more to do. Tomorrow will be an active outdoor day also so it will be interesting to see how much cleaning actually gets done.
