Back to Normal Life!

I got off the airplane on Wed. morning after flying through the night and hit the ground running!

Ever since I've been busy with triathlon clinics, subbing a spin class (yes, I know I said I was laying off for the summer, but I agreed to this one awhile back and don't mind subbing occasionally :), and spent Friday evening meeting my new niece Lilly as she arrived to America!

Isn't she beautiful!!

The weekend however has been REALLY nice! Not that Wed, Thur., and Friday weren't. But I've actually kind of chilled this weekend.

Saturday morning I was off for a physical therapy appointment, and then Adam and I took the kids to the pool for a few hours. Cooper and Gracie climbed 2 flights of stairs seriously about 20 times going up and down the slide. That must be exhausting!! I'm just glad that this year I got to watch from the sidelines. :)

Saturday night was a girls night out with my mom and niece. I've been DYING to see Sex and the City!! Lauren is a fan, and my mom could care less about what we saw but just wanted to come join the fun! So we met at Phipps Plaza in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. It's the swanky part of town and Phipps is the home of Saks, Neiman's, Jeffery's, etc. What better place to watch a movie all about fashion than in one of the fashion meccas of the city?? :) We had a lot of fun and the movie was great! It was funny and dramatic but everything worked out well, so it was a great.

And can you believe that I didn't even workout on Saturday?? I was supposed to ride my bike for just an easy hour and so even though I got a lot of good ride offers this weekend, I declined. I knew I needed the rest and should stick to the plan. AND I know what's coming! I figured I better take the opportunity to not have to go out on a big long journey before I'm once again doing it as my usual weekend routine! So I was going to ride my trainer for an hour before heading out to the movies, but by the time I put my bike back together, I had run out of time and just let it go. No worries!

Sunday began with a short 45 min easy run in the morning. I began at around 9:30am. I went just a few miles up the road to a little local park that has a flat, soft surface. When I went to get in the car I thought it seemed a little hot. On my way there, I drove past a bank that declared it was currently 91!! I was like... there's no way. But once I got going, it occurred to me that I think it really WAS that hot!! Good thing it was only 45 min. I just think it's funny that ever since it started warming up, I've been praying for hot weather to help prepare me for Honu and I get there and my body is in shock with the heat! Then I turn around and come home to highs of 97!! Don't get me wrong... I'm not complaining... at least not yet! :) I generally much prefer the heat to cold and should adjust soon. I just thought it was funny. :)

So then we went for a hearty lunch at McDonalds so we could get a new Kung Fu Panda toy before going to see the movie. I LOVED it! It was funny, and cute, and the story line was good. It was a definite see... maybe even without kiddos if yours aren't interested!

I did manage to squeeze in my bike ride this evening on the trainer. So all is well here!

Next week we have Vacation Bible School... Whoo Hoo!! A little Kellye Time each morning and something to keep Cooper and Gracie from being "borin" as Cooper would say. :) PLUS... I start a boot camp this week for my personal training position. I think that should be fun!

But, Light and Easy!! That's my summer motto!

I hope all is well with everyone else! Thanks for reading!
