Balance

This was one of those rare weekends I was really glad my kids were at their Dads for his every other weekend.   This weekends training plan called for a 2 hour run and 1 hour swim Saturday and a 3 1/2 (60 mile) ride and 20 minute run on Sunday, and quite honestly to work out for that many hours when they are home, I just wouldn't be OK with it, and likely get up at 4 am to get it done....so yes I will say it, it was nice they were  having fun and being watched.  

The weekend was wonderful, it was nice to have the time to get those workouts in, and of course some fun on Friday night.  I love my friends, really love them.  They are the greatest bunch of gals and guys to be around, so anytime we can all get together is so fun, often coming home with sore ab muscles from laughing so much.  We decided to celebrate the summer solstice with a progressive appetizers and drinks party (must of us live within a mile radius of one another), the only condition was from house to house you had to use non motorized transportation.  Needless to say the night was a huge success and we plan to make it bigger and better for next year!

Below are some photos of the night, in all we went to four houses.  At house #2 we decided we'd take a picture at each house....well that only happened at house #2 and #3

This was the scene all night, and no I do not condone helmetless behavior

Well this wasn't  a planned stop, but we tried to pick up our friend Steve...he wasn't home, his loss

Two of THE greatest people you will ever meet
