Come on - Weekend....

Yes, I know - it's been a while since I last updated. David has been gone and I was in my last week of class, so it was a little hectic with working out and taking care of the little one. He returned Monday night, so all is well. I'll bullet really quickly what's been going on:

- David left for work to Boston on Monday night (last week), and returned Wed. I was standing there waiting on him to come out of the security area at the airport and the first person I see was Luke Wilson. He was here for the BMW Pro Am charity celebrity golf tournament.

- He then left first thing Thur morning and returned Monday night.

- I finished my class last week, and thus I finally have my Associates degree. It's been a long time coming with a class here, a class there for years. Now, on to the Bachelor's but like in the past, I'll take some time off from classes, in case David wants to get some in.

- Even though I had Grace all to myself, worked 8-5 last week, and had drill weekend to prepare for, I did manage to get in 7.5 hrs of swimming/biking/running. I was pretty happy about that. It's tough to do all the training I want to do, tough to do it with a toddler, and was extremely tough to do it without David around. I was actually surprised when I looked at my BT log and saw that I hit every scheduled workout.

- The U.S. Navy CPO Selection board started meeting Monday to hand pick the next Chief's (E7) of the Navy Reserve. I hope that after the weeks of deliberating, my name ends up on that list. I should find out in June sometime, probably end of the month. I checked for quotas last night and they're picking 68 people from my rate. I don't know what the % is because I don't have a list of us that made it this far to the board.

- I did my first ride alone this past Saturday. My cycle partner had scheduling conflicts, so it was me and the hills and roads of Donaldson Center. I did 4 laps that ended up being 30 miles. I embraced those hills, and learned I need to focus more on hill work. If it weren't for the constant crosswind no matter where I was on the road, I'd say it was a decent time.

- Yesterday morning I woke at 6:00 to head outside to meet friend for a short 3 miler. I can't believe I'm gonna have to become a morning person again but to have the workout over and done with is a relief. I swam at lunch yesterday too.

- My new wheels came in the day of Clemson tri. Go figure? Anyway, they're still in their lovely large box sitting in our dining room.

- I'm getting used to this 3 day/week each discipline. Although, last week I didn't run at all because of the shin'ish area of pain I'm having. But, I didn't slack folks and replaced each run with an elliptical session.

- TONS of bloggers and friends had races this past weekend and all did very well! The list is long, so I'm just gonna mention names and race. But, to all of you - CONGRATULATIONS - You all did so great and I've enjoyed reading your reports. I'm so proud of each and every one of you. I hope I didn't forget anyone...

Gosh, that's a lot of peeps that raced! That's all I gots to say for now. I'm tired, and ready for the weekend. Happy Hump day Ya'll!
