Preparation

Took yesterday day off to prepare for the houseguests. Husband is off all week, but I need to work Tues/Wed.

Started by preparing mentally; we went for a 32 mile bike ride. It was a nice morning, a little breezy and wam, but nothing to complain about. Apparently the MSF class took a lot more out of me than I realized because I started off low on energy. I do think that I learned some things that transfer to better bike handling skills. I'm noticing improved cornering already.

After the ride, I was in a happy place. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to activities related to "making it look like some other family lives here" as my daughter said. LOL. I like how she's thinking.

Soon I will be out the door for a personal trainer appt. Husband has been working with said trainer for a few months. He's been bugging me to go too. Today is my first appointment. It will be interesting to see what he thinks I need to be working on. This evening will be track work with the running group.

For me, the rest of the day includes a full day of work, making dinner for the family, and cleaning the patio furniture. The kids are in charge of cleaning the house today and have been armed with a checklist. You know what? I think we might just pull this thing off. :)

Have a good one!
