Why did I have to get up so early today?

First day of school. All went well for the boys (Joshua in Kindergarten and Elijah in 2nd grade). It was also my first day of school at the preschool and all went well there. Hopin' the goodness lasts.

Today was Spring Creek, aka, Secret Hill. I didn't warm up from Runtex because I needed to be home earlier than that allows. I met Yvette a smidge early and we ran down to the 3/4 mile marker and back to add some extra warm up. My legs were already tired just from that short warm up. The rest of the jog up to Spring Creek was fine with all the good company.

We did 5 ladder versions of the hill, and it was really hard. I'm sure the heat has a lot to do with it as everyone was feeling it. We did 3 backwards with the first going all the way to the stop sign. Ouch.

Gayatri and I soaked our legs in the Springs after the cool down. Ah, that feels so good. We really want all work outs to start from Barton Springs so we can do that every single workout. Now I know why dv loves starting and ending from there on Gazelle workout mornings.

Tired legs. Tired mind. Tired body. Familyvance will get the school routine down soon and hopefully have more energy. T-ball practice starts this week. Piano is ever-present. Soccer starts next week. I start school tomorrow (I'm taking a class at ACC - my first college course since getting my Master's...that was 11 years ago). Maybe I'll take a "first day of school" photo, too. ;o)

Fyi, Elijah takes piano and is in Cub Scouts. Joshua is doing soccer and t-ball. That's info for those that wonder why we have so many activities going on. Oh, and dv is the Asst Coach for t-ball. He got strong-armed into that one.

My goal is to have a strong arm when someone (everyone) wants me to volunteer this year. Just say no!
