If you are my Mom, STOP READING! There is a birthday spoiler in here!
Yesterday was the official bike/run day. It was tough to get done though. On Monday, my siblings, Greg and I began renovations in my parents home. They are on a week long vacation in New England. So, we've taken it upon ourselves to get some much needed stuff done in and around their house to surprise my Mom on her birthday. Her birthday is also Earth day by the way.
On Monday, we took all the furniture out of 2 rooms to begin swapping them. We painted both rooms, and one ceiling. Yesterday, we moved the furniture into the new rooms. Oh, one is upstairs and the other is downstairs. The first room is my Mom's sewing room. The other was the guest room. The rooms are being swapped so that my niece, Scout, can now have her own room. Last night she helped us move everything back into her room. It looks VERY cute.
Back to the workout though... while Greg was taking a load of stuff to the dump, I went for my bike ride and run. The winds were 20-30kts from the north. It was in the low 60s though, so not too cold. It was fun to ride through my old neighborhood. So many memories on those streets. After the bike, I hit the road for a run. The recovery only took 1 block this time, which makes me feel better about it all. I ran for 30 min, instead of 15. It just felt good.
I still can't believe the improvement from last year. You can see it for yourself. You can look up my April 2008 posts and compare. It's pretty cool!

Your folks are going to love this! Is your dad in on it as well?
Yup, he's with her. We cleared it all with him. I think he may be happier than she will be.
