My M&Ms Are Coming! July 15, 2005
Posted by vollenda in : General , add a commentMy nieces are coming! 
In fact, the whole family will be here this weekend for our family reunion. Can’t wait to see my little M&Ms – Morgan & Madison! We’ll all be staying at my mom’s so I’m hoping to get a bike/run/bike in tomorrow morning around Puddingstone before everyone wakes up. Other than that, I plan on just hanging with my family and playing with the girls. I’m trying to talk my sister into letting me take the girls to Raging Waters on Sunday. They’ve never been to a water park and I haven’t been there in years. And now that I am in such good shape, I have enough energy & speed to keep up with a 5 yr old & a 7 yr old!
Friday is usually my rest day but since I’ll be taking Sunday off, I pushed a little harder on the bike into work today. Green lights all the way this morning…the bike gods must have been smiling down on me…so it was a nice steady ride. A little faster than normal thanks to the lights and I felt really good. The ride home tonight is supposed to be a little cooler than it’s been the past couple of days! Woo Hoo! And then Pilates tonight, which by the way, is really helping w/ my flexibility and my legs don't feel tight anymore.
The family reunion should be interesting. I missed it last year because Morgan was sick with the stomach flu and I stayed home with her so the others wouldn’t miss the reunion. Rumors have been flying around the family that I did a triathlon in June and I’ve lost weight. But no one’s seen pictures of me yet. I’m really looking forward to the annual softball & volleyball games! Now that I have confidence in my athletic abilities again, I will be participating instead of sitting on the sidelines. That’s one thing I’ve noticed w/ riding/running/swimming…I’ve gained a lot of confidence in what my body can do and that confidence has spilled over into other areas. Especially at work.
Have a great weekend everyone!
