Catching you up

It was a crazy, hectic weekend, but I found/made the time to meditate in motion.

Friday: Rather than doing intervals, my body was begging for a fast run. I obeyed: I ran 5KM in 24:00. I had run exactly that same time as the first half of a 10K in a race a few weeks back, and that was with streets closed and hundreds of other runners to draft off.
Saturday: EEE-GAD, in the morning. I felt great and powerful the whole time. And Sue managed her first pull-up without any assistance! (I know she is capable of more than that, but she doesn't trust herself enough yet.) I did those dumbell presses, and I kept Coach Ilg's voice in the back of my head: no giving up! On top of all this, I set a new personal best with 54 crunches in a minute.
The rest of the day we spent cooking and cleaning, and we enjoyed a long night of food, wine, and friends.
Sunday: Sue's parents came, earlier than expected, so that became a rest day. But after dinner we took the dogs for a short stroll, and were treated to a show the muskrats were putting on. The dogs wanted to play with them, of course, but I told them I didn't think it was so good an idea.
Monday: I meditated in the morning, with only partial success, and then this evening we took a 15KM bike ride. In honor of Coach Ilg's race, and because we had rested yesterday, I led and went balls-out the whole way. We broke our record for that course by damn near two minutes.
