First Communion

My oldest son, I call him Noodle, that is the nickname I gave him when he was little and it has stuck. Of course, he HATES it when I call him that in front of his buddies but sometimes it just slips out. Noodle had his first communion this weekend. We had everyone in for a party and it was a wonderful weekend. It is always nice when you plan a party and everything falls into place, the weather, the food, and the attendees. It was just a great time. I think that the coolest part was how excited my son was to receive his first communion, he could not explain why he was just excited. Very neat!

Training -- it was a short week last week (12 hours). This week, however, 16 scheduled hours... and I have the Mini Marathon this weekend. The race fits in fine to the schedule, I am supposed to do a 2 hour run on Sunday. That will move to Saturday with the race. The only thing that I need to work out is how to get the 1 hour ride that I am supposed to do RIGHT after the run completed. I think I will probably have to wait and just do it that night. So, today I forgot my printed workout when I headed to the pool and had to just wing it. So I decided to see just how far I could swim in 45 minutes. I knew that I was scheduled for 45 minutes so that is how I decided. I swam 100 laps -- 2500 straight. It seemed like I should have made it farther then that, but oh well. I am still early in this training. Hopefully, when I get closer to the race I will be a little faster. Tonight -- I have an appointment with the trainer and Heroes!!

I am physically feeling good. I was sleepy this weekend but I was off schedule with the party and the church ceremony. So that is fine and normal. Just need to focus on my eating.

Later!
