Shelbey will be in Bakersfield, California most weekends for the next 12 weeks. Which means longs run are going to be lonesome (unless I can talk Ry or Smo to come along) and my motivation to get up early is pretty low. Slept in, it was well over 100 degrees out so I headed to the gym.

11 miles on the treadmill, AP 7:40 (the TMs at my gym seem much easier than mine at home). I wanted to poke my eyes out! Then a very short leg workout on the machines.

Come back, Shelbey!

2.5 crazy enjoyable miles with Ry, Smo and Iggy in the morning! The plan was to run another 2.5 miles with Smo in the evening. She has started cross country but is trying to balance that with basketball. Since she had basketball at 9:00 we got in 2.5 before (because she knew that wouldn't make her tired and she could still go hard at ball). Then, we were going to run later in the evening again. Livvy decided she wanted to come with us. I kid you not, the second we started running it began raining in an outpour I have rarely seen. Smo begged us to keep going. We tried. But about a quarter mile into the run it became apparent that it was not safe. Lightning, thunder, and the gutters were already overflowing. The rain hurt when it hit you. It was crazy. So we bee-lined it back home.

Yay!!! I'm caught up on the blog! I need to start using it more. It really does help me.

Ry, Rylee, Smo and Sherm went to the gym this morning. We had SO much fun!

3 TM miles, AP 6:59 (that's pushing it for me)

ST: 30 minutes (arms and back)

Then Ry and I went mountain biking. We headed up to the Chuckawalla trailhead. Road up Beck Hill to Paradise Rim and began making our decent when Ryan blew a tire. He has tubeless tires so there was no way fixing this. Dang!!! Hiked our bikes down a couple of miles until we got to an area where a car could get. Then I road back to the car and came and retrieved my boy! :-) :-) :-)

Even though this was a fun day for our family, it was tainted by the sadness we are all feeling regarding the hateful mass shooting in Orlando. Somethings will never make sense. I cannot wrap my mind around it. My kids cannot wrap their minds around it.

Another Monday! The best part of working 4 10 hour shifts is having 3 day weekends. With that said, Monday mornings can be rough. Ha! :-)

These are TM miles, so nothing like hitting this pace outside, but still tough for me. In other words, I'm happy about this pace. :-)

Just lots of watching Smo do her thing on the basketball court! That girl is insane. She is playing on two teams at the same week camp/tournament. She will have played somewhere around 16 games by the end of the week if her body holds out! :-)

Planned on working out once all of Smo's games ended today, but took a TWO hour nap instead. I must have been tired because usually I can only nap for about 30 minutes. But I laid down and was out for the count!

Smo ended up playing 17 GAMES over the tournament. One of her teams went undefeated and took both the 2-minute tournament championship as well as the overall tournament championship. I have no idea how she does what she does. I know that I am biased, but dang, that girl goes hard!!! It's insane how much she puts into whatever she does! LOVE HER!

6 miles, including walking breaks, with Lowell. Nice and easy just enjoying the conversation! Mostly trails. Oh yeah, Iggy joined us as well! Fun!

When I got home Ry was ready to go mountain biking.

2 hours mountain biking with Ryan. Bear Claw Poppy Trail. Took a different route that had some serious climbs. Quads and glutes were feeling the burn! HOT (both temp and hubby). :-)

Loved it all!

Fun fun fun day!!!

Smo has started cross country but has to balance running and basketball right now since she still has a couple of weeks of practices, tournaments, etc. I have no idea how she does it. She ran just a few formal runs last week since she played 17 BASKETBALL GAMES at her camps (and most of those games she was never subbed out). So, she had plenty of interval work and we didn't want her to overdo it more than she was already! Ha Ha! But today she wanted to get back into the swing of cross country. Sundays are usually her rest day but since she rested yesterday she wanted just a few easy miles. So this is how today went:

4 miles, AP 7:29, by my lonesome, pushing comfortably hard. Extended Sunrise Loop. Then went home and Smo was waiting to join me.

3 miles with Smo and Iggy, nice and easy, mostly on dirt. LOVED these miles! Then I wanted one more mile pushing the pace.

1 mile, AP 6:54, looped up to 2450/Little Valley road and back.

THEN . . . Ry and the kids wanted to go to Summit. It is Father's Day, so ABSOLUTELY!!!

45 minutes strength training

800 meter swim

I'm hungry, and totally swole!!!! Ha Ha Ha, that will be the day!!!!! :-) :-) :-)

6 evening trail miles with Shelbey with a bunch of tire throwing (found some old tires on the trail and we decided to have a tire throwing contest: I got smoked). SO MUCH FUN!!!!
