Tuesday: Bike and Swim


Today was a very fun day. Very fun. My husband and I did not have to work, so we organized a sitter and had a workout date. Why, when I was dating, did I not encourage more workout dates? It takes the pressure off of getting all dressed up and filling several hours with meaningless banter, and shuffling your food around on your plate.

I just put on my new bike shorts, some deodorant and Dr. Pepper chapstick, and I was READY!!! We rode about 20 miles on the Natchez Trace, and I had a monster lunch at Pucketts afterwards. They have sweet potato fries at Pucketts. I don't have too many life totems, but one of them is to never pass up sweet potato fries. It was the most fun I have had in years.

After our bike ride, we headed home and put Ivan down for a nap. He slept for 2.5 hours, which was pretty great. I sat in the sun for a bit, plotted my ebay bids for the month and caught up on my gofugyourself.

When Ivan woke up, he and I went to practice his swimming and floating, and went to the park, before heading out to swim. Workout as follows:
  • 200 warmup
  • 300 fly kick on my back
  • 16 X 50 swim
  • 400 pull without paddles
  • 8 x 50 swim
I hit Yogurt World on the way home, BECAUSE IT CLOSED EARLY LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I SHOWED UP IT WAS CLOSED. It was just terrible. I missed double punch Tuesday. This is a travesty, and I was forced to comfort myself with a Minty MilkyWay Bar.
