No rest for the weary

Boy, what a week! My actaul paying job has been keeping my too busy and I've been up to midnight every night. I missed several key workouts this week too. Just not enough hours in the day. I had meetings in NYC all day today, so I got up early and took the bus in. That was my first bus ride into the city. I would normally take my car or the train. Bus was very smooth and next time I will do that. Meetings went well (with my new team and new job), howeve,r I still can't shake the old job and am doing more than double duty. I took some time to break this evening and cleaned the house at least. It will be nice for Meredith when she comes tomorrow to take care of the kids. She is the best (of course, Nikki doesn't agree though. she is scared of everyone, just not dogs). Last time Meredith watched Nikki, she would never come in the house, so she stayed outside from Friday - Monday. Stupid dog. She hid under the deck. At least she has the breezeway too, but can't believe she is really that shy. Even food doesn't entice that little girl. She has eyes for me only, she is just a one owner kind of dog I guess. At least she loves other dogs. she is just more comfortable with her own 'kind'. I can't wait to get to MI and get on my bike and releave some stress. I really need it. (just yawned, so maybe I can sleep now)
See you soon

4 days to triathlon

Working hard and trying to get packed, etc. Of course, I have to be in NYC all day tomorrow for meetings, boy, this will slow me down. I need to goto swim practice tonight and get the lawn mowed, and work all day. Somethings gotta give for sure. I will miss my kids though, first trip home with no dogs:( Meredith is going to stay at my house and take care of them, she is awesome. The love her little dog though, so she will have the pack of 3 for the week.
Ran a couple miles yesterday and did pilates. Swim practice tonight will be hard and I am going to try to bike before I leave work anyway. Can't wait to just get there and relax. The race will be stress relieving. Update on racers: Tim Gutherie (cousin), Linnette Hidecker (from high school), and myself. Everyone else copped out. There should be around 300 racers, so very small race. I might be out on the bike course alone! Oh well, that means I will run alone too.
last year there was only about 75 people doing the Olympic (Tim and Linnette are doing the Sprint). Still, I will have fun. I will be looking for Jessie Marie to make sure she is all walked and groomed before the race!

Weekend Warrior

Boy, am I tired. My flight was late Friday night (of course) so I didn't arrive home until after midnight. I need my sleep, so no early morning walk for the kids Saturday. they still got one, but it was hot by then and started raining. Had 2 parties to goto Saturday night so I went to one around 4 and hit the other around 7. Needless to say I had too much wine:) The second one was at my neighbors, so I could just roll down the hill when it was time to go home.

Sunday, much better day. Got a good walk in with the dogs in the am. Went out to breakfast, did grocery shopping and then went out for a 40 mile bike ride. Was awesome weather, sunny and a little breezy. Finished laundry and worked on my class reunion bio book. Can't wait to get there.

See you all real soon! Driving all day Friday, so should be there around late dinner time.
