This will be my 7th…wow 7th Father’s day without my Dad.
After years of having a standing work commitment on Father’s Day it was great that I got to spend his last two Father’s days with him.
Love you Daddy and miss you always.

BRICK HOUSE
I have my first brick workout after work: 30 min bike – 10 min run – 20 min walk.
doable.
But the triathlon is ~6 weeks out and I’m scurrrrrred. I need to figure out transitions, gear, and make some vast improvements in my swim game.
Hedwig Bootcamp?
What sort of exercise routine do I need to start doing so I can recreate NPH’s Hedwig performance at the Tonys?! I can’t wait to see the show next month!
So many squats, pelvis thrusts, and jumping to his feet on the hood of a car from the kneeling (NEILing) position (see #10 – http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariellecalderon/amazing-moments-from-neil-patrick-harris-tonys)
Made you a thing:

Swim Help
I did 300 yards yesterday. In 50 yard increments (or tried for those increments). And bogs, websites, swim tips. My breathing/breath control needs WORK!
Lots of walking at Busch Gardens on Friday. Also lots of screaming, especially on The Griffon and Verbolten!

Amazing food, I highly recommend going if you can!
Yoga
Made it to the free lunch time yoga at work they are offer this summer!
I also got to use my new mat. I wish they made extra long mats, I hate choosing to hang my head or feet off (I usually try to keep my head on the mat). Seriously so many #tallgirlproblems in this world. Shorties don’t take fitting on your yoga mat for granted!!!
June 1 Measurements
On Sunday before/after (I can’t recall) wrapping up Insanity with my last fit test I took my measurements. I SHOULD have taken my before measurements, but I wasn’t fully confident in my ability to finish the program I suppose. Regardless here are the current numbers – let’s see how they look in 2 months after my triathlon and after I finish the pump/insanity hybrid

- Hips: 41.5
- Upper Thigh: 26.5
- Mid Upper Thigh: 22
- Calf: ~16
- Ankle: ~9
- Wrist: 6
- Neck: ~13
- Mid Upper Arm: forgot to measure b/c I’m a idiot – will get on it
