Haven't written much lately b/c I've been crazy with work since we came back from an awesome few days of family vacation at Lake Chelan.
For those of you who have never been, boy, let me tell you, it is purty nice out there. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Penticton. The lake water is the clearest I've ever seen, and I thoroughly enjoyed swimming in it in my wetsuit every morning before the boats got going. Donovan was ready to go at the crack of dawn every day, and he would give me just enough time to get out the wetsuit, take a shower, eat b-fast and head out to the pool with him.
He had a really good time, building sand castles, swimming in both the lake and pool, and playing putt-putt golf. All uncles and aunts were there to keep him entertained, which was great. It gave Theresa and I a rest from time to time. Below is one of the works of art built by Donovan, uncle Teddy and uncle Chris.
Training-wise, it's been ok lately- I swam a lot while on vacation, and found some really good rides. Haven't done a whole lot of running lately. I almost broke a toe, thanks to kicking a kitchen chair about a week ago, and I also have some issues with my left hip flexor, giving me trouble at the knee. There's a local Half IM I was planning on doing this coming weekend, and I still have not decided either way. We'll see.....
The end of the summer is quickly approaching. I'm getting in as many lake swims as I can, but the mornings are getting crispier and the sun is coming out later and later each day.
Last, yesterday was our 7th wedding anniversary, and Theresa and I got to go out and celebrate a little bit. Our life is good.. :o)
