Thursday: Run and Swim

Snow Play

Just a personal thought that I had today when the internet was not working:   "The internet is not working” is fast becoming akin to “we don’t have indoor plumbing” in my book, and maybe worse.  MAYBE WORSE.  I could at least use the bathroom in the yard if we didn’t have indoor plumbing, but without the internet how can I find out how long my jeggings will be in style. What am I supposed to do? Think my own thoughts as if I were Thomas Jefferson.  

Anyway, luckily there was not that much time to be spent at home as we were quite busy.  This morning, I popped up and drank coffee while preparing my delicious egg puffs from my new Deceptively Delicious cookbook.  In my dream life, my son woke up and was so excited about the egg puffs that he ate them all and even loved the chick peas that were minced inside for extra fiber.  In my real life, I ate all the egg puffs because my child sat with both hands over his mouth for a solid half hour.  It was disappointing.  I cannot wait to see how putting carrots in his tiramisu is going to go over.  

Now of course, nursery school was closed AGAIN today.  It was a deep disappointment to both of us, and we were left with really no choice for an outing but to head to the gym yet again. I ran on the treadmill at a faster pace than Tuesday: two miles at 7:25, last mile at 6:30 and the last lap at a 6:00 minute pace.  I then hopped in the pool and swam a mile.  Now, I find that I love to get in the pool after a run, but my extreme sweatiness keeps my goggles from adhering to my face, so I have several leaky goggle laps.  Once I stop sweating, I get out, scrub down my face with my towel and swipe off my goggles before affixing them correctly and swimming as if I had never sweated a drop.  

At home, we ate lunch and during naptime, I got in a quick Pure Barre workout, mended some hats and shortalls, addressed the laundry basket and washed and pressed three cashmere sweaters.  I am fast becoming a champion in the land of cashmere care.  

Tomorrow is a leisurely morning, and I have made no plans!!
