Whirlwind Weekend

It was another one of our busy Underwood weekends. Friday I worked all day in Denton, went to packet pickup for The Cowtown to get Soren and I squared away for our races, went to swim team to pick up Soren's stuff for her swim meet, woke up at 5am Saturday, ran the Cowtown 50k while Soren ran the kids 5k and helped at an aid station with her swim team, came home and tried to recover my legs in my neighbor's freezing cold pool, packed up everything we would need for our full day of a swim meet and trip back to Denton to finish working, went to a neighborhood party!, got in bed at 11pm, did not sleep, got up at 5am to take Soren to Grapevine for a swim meet, left the meet at 12:30, ate lunch, stopped by my parents house to use their leg massager because, oh my gosh my legs were hurting!, passed out on the couch for 2 hours, got up, came up to the office and worked until 8:30, went to bed at 10:30 and now I am back at the office. Or my body is, anyway. Not sure if I can be considered completely here or not; kind of in a haze right now.

But it was all good fun! Soren had a great run with a pace of 7:10/mile...wow! That put her 7th in her age group of 11-12 year olds. She was also able to shave one more second off of each of her races at the swim meet on Sunday inching her way back up to the "A" swimmer rank. She was pretty tired when we went to lunch; I hope she is having a good Monday at school after such a weekend. I was able to stay here in Denton and avoid a crazy commute in the rain this morning, so I have not seen my sweet girls this morning.

My run went better than expected considering I did less than half of the training that Pete set up for me a few months ago when I signed up for this race. What can I say, I finished. Race report posted at www.trisara.blogspot.com

I am so bummed that I do not have pictures of Soren's run. Blame it on Pete since I was out on the course already :) and Pops was in his photography class.

Happy Monday.
