I am home. So glad to be home. I love going to Sunriver. I love the house(in-laws have a house). I love the house we rent. I love it down there. Beautiful weather. Fresh air. Relaxing. Oh, that’s right, in-laws will be there. Not so relaxing. We drove down last Sunday and it was so peaceful. My son had already gone down with his grandma so there was no constant talking. I love him but he likes to talk. Only half the in-laws were there.
No walking on Sunday. Monday morning I got up and went for a 5 mile walk. It was my baby’s 15th birthday this day, so he had decided he wanted to bike down from Mt. Bachelor. I can do that. So we loaded up the truck with 6 bikes, 3 boys, my dd, grandma, my dh and I. Water and power bars. Went almost all the way up to the top and unloaded the bikes, 3 boys, grandma, dh and I. My dd was going to drive the truck down and follow us to make sure we were ok. Last time we did this ride my husband rode his bike to see how fast he could go and when he stopped his front tire fell off. He is so lucky it didn’t fall off. So that is why we have a follow truck. We had a great time heading down hill. It was easy. Except for the pain in my area. Not very comfortable. Needless to say, it kept me off my bike the rest of the trip.
Tuesday I ended up going to Bend to work. Lots of walking between the 2 houses. I would get to the main house and realize I forgot something, so I had to go back… etc… I wish I would have worn a pedometer.
Wednesday walked 6 miles. Then went to the library to check email. Found out that my grandpa wasn’t doing well. So after hemming and hawing decided my dh and I would drive to Salem to see him and say goodbye. That was a long day of sitting in the truck. But worth it. As of Sunday he is still kickin’.
Friday I needed to go to town again for work so I got up and went. While in town I decided to walk Pilot Butte. 1.5 miles up. 1.5 miles down. It was really muggy and hot when I did it. Usually I do it twice, but I had not brought any water with me and it was our last full day of vacation so I headed back home. Everyone was going to the pool. I am not into going to the pool. So I laid in the sun on the back porch.
Saturday headed home. Glad to be here. We had taken our dogs. When you are in Sunriver there are no fences so you have to keep an eye on your dog all the time. So that is my favorite part of being home is knowing I can open up my back door and let my dogs out and they aren’t going to run away. I am weird that way.
No exercise today. Dh wants to go see a movie. Kids are gone for the week. They went to camp. I am joining them on Wednesday. That will be fun.
Best news of the week: We got a van for the race. It is the same van we have used in the past. We traded another team for the Excursion we were going to use for the van. YEAH!!!! I can’t wait to do the race.
