Short post since I should probably be sleeping by now but I still have some laundry to do! Can't we invent this great little robot do unload, fold and put away laundry!
Anyways sunday morning swimming lesson was less traumatic for the whole family. Maia almost smiled but kind of frowned the whole time which is a huge step up from the screams of despair we had last sunday. Miles of course loved it.
After that we spent the afternoon at home, enjoying the 90 degree weather (30-35) trying to motivate to go for our long run. Since I weasled my way out of my bike ride it was tough to weazle my way out of my run too. Especially with all the moaning and whining I do about my weight appearance etc... So thank god the temperature went down enough for us to run a pleasant 5.2 miles.
Today I did some yoga with Jessica since I don't think I really stretched for the past 2 weeks and like 30 miles! I can tell you that my legs were tight but then again I am not known for my flexibility. She did made me do the bridge with my head on the floor that was painful for me but to look at too I'm sure.

I only put my head on the ground. I tried again later tonight to show my husband but he just laughed at my effort...
Anyways I am sore and I really hope that the temperature is going to be better tomorrow.

Wednesday night already....
I know I sound like a broken record but oh boy where does time fly? I mean I looked at bunny's site and realize that my last post was 3 days ago but wait I feel like I posted yesterday.
So what is going on in my wonderful life for me to not see time go by... Well not that much but we are still really busy and it always feel good when I can finally sit down for 10 minutes and write something.
On monday I had my second life coaching session which was part of a gift certificate. For those who know me I am very skeptical of those things and also very proud. I don't need help I can do it all and if I get help then it removes a little from the pleasure of succeeding like I cheated. I know twisted but anyhow.
I have to say that I am very glad that I had those 2 hours. Although it is not something I will pursue at this time it is something that I may consider later when I have a little more time and cash.
The thing that makes me happy is that eventhough I always doubt myself, can't find myself and feel lost and confused I do deep down know who I am and live by the core qualities that make me. But I can tell you that the layer around the core is a real turmoil of questions, self doubts etc...
Besides that I went for my interval session on tuesday and was proud of a 5 miles run until I my other half told me he just ran 6.4 miles which included climbing up Torrey Pines hill the tough way (inside hill).
I hate him well not really I am just really JEALOUS because I can't do that. Well maybe I can one can wish upon a star no...
We were wondering with Bunny who the heck just goes for a run at lunch and goes down Torrey Pines than up just like that.
Today I went for my swim and managed my kilometer and swallowed half the pool in the process. Well maybe not quite but it is how I feel after a swim.
Although I don't like talking about politics I have to say that I was really happy for Obama to have such a clear victory I am hoping for a brighter future. On a sadder note I can't believe prop 8 passed. I mean don't we have more important problems/issues in California than worrying about gay marriage. Let them be and lets worry about why art programs are cut out of our schools, why working people don't have medical insurance etc... Grrr... should have taken care of my citizenship and voted1
Back to life and cooking a new chicken noodle recipe with oyster flavor sauce, hoisin sauce and brocolini.

What is possessing me
In the last month I have decided that I will run the Carlsbad half marathon in January. Since this event will happen 3 weeks after we get back from France where we exercize our forks and glasses more than running I decided to start training early. Oh boy I didn't realize that 2 month of very very little running will throw me back to the really starting point of running.
Also it has been really muggy lately and I hate running when it is humid and warm.
But I have to admit that after 3 weeks I was able to run a slow 5 miles loop at 2pm and it was hot (about 87F)
I also started obsessing about triathlon. This is one activity that has always tempted me and I decided that the best way to start would be to add swimming and biking to my training.... So now I run 3 times a week, swim once a week and bike once a week.
My body isn't really happy with me. It went from relaxing on the couch to do all those things. Anyways this is my latest obsession. I don't know why maybe it has to do because I was never very athletic. I did swim and run and bike but never to a point where I would push my limit.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am not getting any younger and that my body isn't as slim as it once used to and never was that muscular.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I live in a country where you see so many kids already big and that I want my kids to get used to the fact that exercize is part of life.
Finally maybe it has to do with the fact that I have to challenge myself and maybe find an activity that both helps my mind and my fitness level.
We will see where this adventure will take me I just hope that I found something that I like. My husband has surfing I would like to have my own atheletic outlet ;)
