Off to Vacation!

I know, I have been a terrible blogger lately! I've been very busy with training, prep for my best friend's wedding, and being swept off my feet by the biggest stud in the CTC (I'll leave ya'll hanging on that one). So just a quick update before I'm off on a 2 week vacation that will consist of:

Wed- drive to Milwaukee, bike with my dad, hang out with the fam
Thur- Bachelorette party at the House of Blues Chicago
Fri- Bridal shower and rehearsal dinner, outside Chicago
Sat- Wedding at my best friend's Grandma's house (Chicago)
Sun- Back to Milwaukee- a little father's day bonding. Maybe I'll make my dad do a brick with me!
Mon- My cousin will be in town from S. Carolina
Tue- early AM get on plane to Colorado- breakfast with Bro in Denver- drive to Fort Collins- party with my roommate Colleen
Wed- Whitewater rafting
Thur/Fri- Rocky Mountain national park- high altitude training
Fri/Sat- Hang with my brother and his family
Sat night- back to Milwaukee
Sun- back to Cleveland

Whew! Something tells me I am not going to be well rested after this trip :)

Okay, last week's training-
Mon- Bike- 8 miles - Run 5 miles- bike 8 miles
Tue- Run 2 miles, swim 1 mile (open water)
Wed- Run 4.5 miles
Thur- Rest!
Fri- Run 3.5 miles- hilly and fast (well, fast for me!)
Sat- Run 7 miles- Great run around Shaker Lakes with Matt and TriFrog. The trails out there are really beautiful.
Sun- Bike 62 miles- That was awesome, by the way! A great bike ride in Amish country. Janet and I took it on together and I think we did pretty darn well, considering it was both of our longest rides. We topped it off with a great lunch with Brooks and Matt and then I collapsed on the couch with a movie before going out for sushi. What a great day!

Totals:
Running: 22 miles
Biking: 78 miles
Swim- 1 mile (doh!)


I'll be away for awhile. I'll try to post on Sunday or Monday with some pics of the wedding and general festivities. But I won't really be back in blogland until the 26th.

Have a great couple of weeks everyone!

Enjoy your 'break'!

The Shaker run was a good one, we'll do it again sometime after your vacation.

'The biggest Stud in CTC'? You picked only one with so many from which to choose?

Wow what an itinerary. Sounds like a great time.

I think you and that "running shoe guy" make a great couple.
