This week has been so much fun! And tiring. And exciting. And busy.

I have been working on a project with J. I am designing his website for work. I am honoured (and free) to be able to work on this for him. It has once again really pushed me beyond my current skills as a graphic/web designer. The challenge always makes me all twitty and happy. I truly am a geek.

The children & I have been hanging out with new-ish friends that we enjoy a lot. It is so awesome to be around someone, that makes me think, makes me calm and afterward I am a better mom and person. Friends are amazing that way. Replenishing your spirit, just by providing their company. We have created humming bird feeders and hit the lake, each day presenting full filled moments.

I swam 1.6 km (a mile) tonight. 64 laps amazing laps. It took me longer than I usually have time to swim (I have to head home to help get the kids in bed), except on Fridays lane swimming is held earlier. I am in awe. When I first added swimming to my training, I had to swim 2 lap front stroke then one breast stroke. Now I swim all out for half an hour (excluding tonight I swam for 43 minutes), hitting 50 laps if I go full tilt the entire time. I feel FRIKING AWESOME> Dudes. I swam a 1.6 KILOMETRES. That ROCKS. I have been experiencing some shin splints while running (grrr bad bad BAD shoes) so I may be adding some cycling to the mix. J has a bike I may be able to tweak to my size.

Quite a few people have asked me how I find the time to do all this training. I don’t. Blogging, photography, knitting, sewing .. have all taken a backseat at the moment to this. I feel like this is my moment. My time. My chance to make peace with my body, learn to love who I am, how I am shaped and be a wicked great role model for the kids. I still get little chances to be creative and to blog. I miss it. My soul hurts when I am not creating. I need just like 5 more hours in each day.

HEY it is a long weekend here … is it there? Got plans?

I am off now to start a Star Wars marathon with my adorable husband! May the Force be with you … hehe I am such a DORK! love it!
