What week is this?

Friday straight through to Sunday, both Mel & I were painting the interior of our new house. My legs/calves are sore from standing on a ladder all weekend. We got a fair chuck of it done, but still have a ways to go. The colours by the original owners are way too dark so we are lightening them up a bit. We'll both be glad to never see a paint brush for a long time after everything is finished.

To break up the weekend we both went shopping a bit for some new furniture...a sectional for the bonus room and a 32" flat screen TV for the bedroom. We dumped all our old TV's, which were honking beasts, to lighten the load for the move.

My training has definitely taken a back seat over the past two weeks...I hope this week things start get back on track somewhat. The highlight of my training week just past was swimming just over 12,000m. This week I need to get back to running/biking.

Other than that, not much new...trying to sort some kind of race schedule. I got the gears from Chris/Jill and Mel last night for not having signed up for the Calgary 70.3 yet...I dunno what is taking me so long.

Happy Greenery Day (Japan)
