Biking, Track & Jaws… :)

Today was not to eventful… I did watch 4 extra kids throughout the day but it was pretty quiet. While the 2 older girls were in school, the 2 younger ones were invited to go to a friends to play for a couple of hours (and then I had kids over at my house). It was nice because I was able to go to the gym and use their spin bikes. Before I went on the spin bike, I tried out the elliptical… I did it for 10 min and then headed up to the spin room. I was all alone…

It gets boring but I had the fan to myself and I brought a book. 🙂 I rode for 54 minutes and then headed down to do the lat pulls. I am getting tired of riding a bike inside but I am grateful I am able and have access to the bikes.
After school got out, I went to track practice (I had the girls with me but they wanted to go home and play with a babysitter… So half way through a neighbor came over).

After the initial warmup and agilities, the distance runners went on a 1 1/2 mile warmup to the pond. We have a pretty steep hill (short but steep) that is excellent for hill repeats. I had them run 6-12 hills (depending on what shape they are in)… Surge up the hill at 80 percent effort, then recover back down.

It is a tough workout and by the end your legs are hurting! 🙂 The kids finished off with a 2 mile cool down. They did their 2×50 leg hops and did their stretching together.
It is Friday night, movie night for the girls. This is a fun night for them. It is a real treat because they only watch on average 2 movies a week. I don’t allow the T.V. on during the week. The girls don’t even ask anymore… It is nice because they just play!

The girls went to bed. Corom fell asleep so Z (our foreign exchange student) and I went to Amy F’s house (we grabbed Julie A. on our way up). We watched… JAWS. Now I don’t know how we decided to watch it but it sure was funny and a little disgusting. I think Julie and Z covered their eyes most the time. We did have some good junk food!
