Another Day Off

The boys did not have school today for a Teacher Workday. They like to tack those on to the end of three day weekends. Parents just love that. It was a pretty quiet day, the boys were happy to remain in their pjs until lunch. We sorted and built legos and then headed to the Commissary for a long overdue grocery trip. The boys were very good and of course were rewarded by chocolate milk and reese's peanut butter cup.

We bought new goggles for swim lessons and they were much happier in the water although they are still getting used to the actual goggles. They also got new suits yesterday, I have pictures of the boys swimming, forgot to take one before they got wet. I will try to remember Thursday before they dive in. Their swimming is definitely improving. They can't wait to show off their skills. Hopefully we will have a nice warm place to live this summer so they can swim all the time.

First Day in the Pool

It was a good start. I was able to do about 1000 yards. Not straight swimming, but it was up and down the lane. I needed to use a kick board for most of the workout to prevent myself from dipping too far into the water while trying to breath. It was a successful swim for the first time in a long time. I did manage to do the breast strike for a full 100 yards, that felt like a good accomplishment. Hoping that my arm is not going to be super soar later this evening or tomorrow morning. Ice pack, Here I come!!!

I am still hoping to get my run in after dinner, but we will have to wait and see about that one. Hey, at least I got one workout in today, it is not like I did nothing. It is also not too late for a Green Smoothie, last night we made one at 8:00, mostly because Brandon chose not to eat his dinner and that was the only way he was allowed to play the Wii with the rest of us. Hmmm... I think that might be another topic.
