Catch-up days!

Sunday was a cross-training day.  My cross-training so far seems to consist of life.  I had a busy day on Sunday, work, driving Selena to Camp Lakewood, and going out for Birthday celebrations and moms' night out with some of my friends.  Monday was the ever-popular rest day.  Tuesday morning, I got up early, did my work and ran 3.25 (though I was scheduled for 3) at Forest Park.  I enjoyed the frogs croaking, the ducks bobbing, and seeing several people whom I see frequently walking and running.  I hustled it hard today, because, as is often the case, I had to hurry home to get the kids lunches packed and to camp on time!  With several clients out of town, and everyone's gardens and plants needing to be watered, work is taking even longer than usual!  My average speed was 11:20, and my max speed was 8:40.  I worked on my barefoot form when I was running on the boardwalk and footbridge, toe running on the boardwalk, practicing fast foot turnover, and single-tracking on the footbridge.  It was hot.  about 87 F.  They keep saying it's going to rain, but the ubiquitous "they" appear to be liars!

 I did the upper-body weight circuit at the Y, since I was there anyway, dropping the kids at camp.  I always enjoy my Y time.  Not sure why it's so satisfying, but everyone is always so nice and friendly, and I feel so much better after I work out.

Came home and weeded yard and garden, did some work with Merlin, adding a cue to 2o2o, and working a little bit on stays and left turns.  Made lovely Coconut Curry Shrimp and Green Beans for supper, with basmati rice.  The kids liked it, even after telling me they don't like curry, so it was a hit.
Tomorrow morning, 6 miles!  I'm sure it will be another beautiful, if HOT, day!
