Watch out for the enemy

Miss Lucy today

It's raining...and I think I'm one of the only people that likes it! The days are warmer because of it, and I have the luxury of not needing to be anywhere so I can stay mooched up at home with Miss Lucy. Lincoln doesnt seem to mind it either; he loves the sound of the rain on the roof when he goes to bed, and as he is sleeping upstairs gets a good dosing of it on the thin roof.

Linc off to school

I do feel a tad sorry for him as he has to bike to school in the rain. He tells me its okay and that I need not worry...such a great kid! So off he goes each morning, on his bike (which he won in a Paddle Pop competition!, dressed in wet weather gear, and the compulsory green fluro bag cover. We say our 'good-byes', wish each other a great day, and I finish with "watch out for the enemy". The enemy is of course, cars. He knows to make sure that they see him before crossing any roads, but it's still scary as hell every morning sending him off. One thing about being home on a wet day is that I can have a nice warm bath ready for Lincoln when he gets home...from soaking wet to soaking in the tub!

Burning calories

Today I blasted my 500 calories that I had pledged to do.

This was done by:

10 min run at speed 11 = 130 cals
10 min bike, random, level 9 with hills & sprints = 95 cals
10 min run at speed 11 = 130 cals
15 min bike, random, level 9 with hills & sprints = 126 cals
10 min run at speed 10 = 120 cals

Which actually adds up to 601...just thought I may as well go for an extra hundy!


The rest of the day was well spent.  Contacting clients, prepping work, a snippit of study, marking down clothes for a huge sale coming up soon, and planning dinner. Tonight the boys are having sweet n sour pork and I'll be having grilled chicken & greens...yum!
