A day of slumber

Well, my body finally rebelled from all the activity and I got a whopping sinus headache on Friday complete with sinus pressure and itchy ears. I called in sick and literally slept the entire day: as in, fell asleep on the couch in the a.m. after watching about 20 minutes of news, woke up to eat some soup, moved to the bedroom for more slumber, awoke at 3:30 and relocated to the couch again only to take catnaps between t.v. time.!! When Kyle came home from work, I hung out with him for a little bit and then slept again from 9 pm to 8 am the next morning. Think perhaps I was a bit tired?? The sleep did the trick though, by Saturday I felt tons better. Honestly, I think I was just run down and needed a recoup day!!

Got a lot of tri training done this weekend - Kyle and I biked from our house to the causeway, rode over the causeway on the bike lane (which is a little unnerving with cars whizzing past you at 50 mph!) and back home. It was probably about 85 degrees, which will be a similar temp during our actual triathlon. We rode about 6 miles total and weren't very winded, so I'd say our endurance level is definitely rising. I also hit the gym today and did 4 miles on the elliptical followed by 7 miles on the bike, for a total of 675 calories, which ain't too shabby!! My parents are thinking of coming down to cheer us on for the tri, so that's even more incentive to actually finish the darn thing :)

We also purchased a car seat this weekend, which honestly freaks me out. I know this is silly because our nursery is about 60% done (new pics coming soon, by the way) but for some reason this is hitting home. I think what is hitting home is that the call could come at any minute now and it will come when we least expect it!! Plus, I want to make sure this carseat fits in my VW beetle, too (fingers crossed because I love that car and I already had the "mom" car before which jinxed everything, so no more).....
