Since summer began I have had GREAT training.  Each week I build a little more volume on the bike, run, and swim.  I am so excited to start some of my HARD workouts again!  Just today I had butterflies in my stomach at the thought of taking my effort level to OUCH level on my bike/run workout!  My mind wanted to skip it or go easy and longer distance, but I had a plan and stuck to it!   I am still a long way from where I want to be in speed, but those critical workouts will get me one step closer! 

It was my kids' last day of school today.  Party, celebrate, cry, more parties.  After my two hour bike/run workout at the Austin YMCA (thanks to Evalyn for a great spinning class!) I showered and ate, then went to pick up my kids at school.  Aliya's 1st Grade teacher is moving to Oklahoma, so she was very sad!  I took Asha and Aliya to a cool party with a HUGE slip n slide.  I am glad, it was at least 95 degrees out!  Shanti and David went to our friend Barbara's house after school - another slip and slide!  We all ended up there and stayed until about 8.  Very thankful for our wonderful teachers, good friends, and water games.  Yippeee!  It's summer!!
