Woo hoo for whitewater rafting!
Jun. 1st, 2004 06:48 pmWoo hoo! Whitewater rafting yesterday was soooo much fun. Class III and IV rapids as promised-exciting enough to be fun but not so much as to be terrifying. The weather was near-perfect-chilly enough in the morning that we needed wetsuits (which where really uncomfortable but warm), warm enough by the afternoon that the spray from the rapids felt close to delicious. And Heidi was the only one who went over-that was scary for all of us, fortunately it was easy it get her back in 'cause she's so light-and we worked really well together as a family. Too bad Mom didn't come-we'll have to go again over the summer and get her in on it. And don't worry, we have pictures...
Back to work today. Boy, was I ever stiff and tired from yesterday-mostly in my shoulders and back. Fortunately, putting away ties and pants doesn't require too much heavy lifting. I ran home today too-I need to keep up my reputation at work as the girl who runs and it was a beautiful day. Just under 70 and breezy with a few drops of rain. I know ideally it should be cooler for running, but I'm a warm-weather kinda girl. Gimme heat and humidity over cold and wind any day! 7 miles at a pretty easy pace-I had speed repeats planned but then remembered that the local race series starts Thursday and I want to put in a good showing, That'll have to serve as my speedswork for the week.
Okay, enough of rambling. Chris, I know you're still at school and reading this, anyone else? Any point to me keeping this thing updated over the summer?
