A week in review and other things too

Training:
*  I think this week went pretty well considering we had snow, thunderstorms, and crazy wind!  I missed another long bike ride last weekend b/c of good ole' Mother Nature and the Mother's Day 5k on Sunday.  However, the early swims, two-a-days, and evening workouts are definitely starting to catch up with me, and I was soooo tired on Friday.  I actually fell asleep on the couch while my two boys played right next to me.  It kind of freaked me out when I woke up, but our house wasn't burned down, so it was all good!  :)

Here are the numbers:
Bike:  2 hours (Yikes! This should have been more, but I did what I could.  I'm just really finding it hard to ride on the trainer for longer than an hour...ugh!)
Run: 2 1/2 hours (This includes my 5k PR...I'm still excited about it! ) :)
Swim: almost 6000M (My longest swim week yet...yay!)

*  I went to another Masters swim class.  It was actually really good this week.  Some people didn't show up, so I ended up having a lane to myself.  I felt fast and was able to complete most of the workout before I had to leave.  I have to leave about 10min. early in order to get home in time for my husband to leave for work, which is kind of a bummer.  So, I think I'm going to start going a little early to do the WU before the class starts and then jump right into the main set when the coach gets there.

*  I am going to have to start my marathon training pretty soon for the Denver Rock-n-Roll marathon in October.  So, I need some advice from you marathoners out there.  What is the best plan to follow?  Have any of you trained for a marathon and tri at the same time?  If so, how did you fit it all in?

Other things too:
*  I won an awesome towel from Words to Sweat By from Running Diva Mom and I got it in the mail this week!  It came in the cutest packaging:

And here's the towel with the phrase that I choose:

It is the perfect size for a workout towel.  And, when I used it when I ran on my treadmill the other night it absorbed all of my sweat!  I love it! :)

*  So, after planting all of these beautiful flowers for Mother's Day we ended up losing some of them when we got 2 inches of snow this week and the temps. dropped below freezing!  Are you kidding me?  Isn't it May?  Actually, I'm not surprised that it snowed because I do live in Colorado, but I am just tired of the cold.  We have paid our winter dues and we are ready for some nice, warm spring days!

*  My youngest son turns 3 years old this week!  I cannot believe how fast the years have gone by.

*  My in-laws are coming into town on Wednesday, so that means I have 3 days to clean, clean, clean!  Ha ha!  It will be great to have them here, and the boys are super excited for their Grammy and Grandad to come for a visit!

*  O-kay all you LOST fans out there.  How is it going to end?  I cannot believe there are only 2 episodes left!  My thinking is that in the end, the parallel life will end up being reality, but who knows.  This show is so unpredictable and that's what I love about it!

*  Speaking of shows, my two new favorite ones are Parenthood and Modern Family.  They are hilarious!  If you haven't seen them, you should definitely check them out.  I know it might sound like I watch a lot of t.v., but I do most of my trainer rides at night after we put our boys to bed, and watching funny shows really helps the time go by. :)

I hope you all have a great weekend! :)
