Although I left for
holidays with the best intentions of being on the ball with my training, I fell
short of all I wanted to do. I still
kept engaged with my sit ups and push ups, and kept racking up the kilometers. Darcy and I found a 5 km nature trail that we
took at least once a day. Because the
mosquitoes were so bad, we were forced to run most of the way; good training
but not so fun in such hot temperatures.
We spent a lot of time at the
ball diamonds, miniature golfing and of course fishing. I practiced doing little pieces of forms in
the lake, but was told by the kids that I was “kind of embarrassing them.” So I changed it up and sat on the beach
visualizing the moves as I watched the kids try to drown each other (good way
to relax and not work up a sweat at 32 degrees above; very cool).
The week and a half was a great time, with the highlight for
me, being that our youngest son finally caught his first fish. He has come home empty handed every time, but
this week he pulled in more than his share.
The look of excitement on his face was a total Kodak moment. He caught the first fish of the day, in less
than an hour on the lake. Totally
awesome!
So after some rest and relaxing, it is time to get back to
some sort of routine. I am starting to
feel a little anxious as I look at the calendar and realize that we are already
well into July. Our race day is coming
up in just under 3 weeks and September is coming up fast. So much to do!

No kidding a Kodak moment. I'm surprised his smile was able to fit in the picture.
