GFTW 34: What's SUP Y'all!

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's a shot from last Sunday where I attempted SUP (Stand Up Paddle) Boarding for the first time with my high school BFF's. If you haven't heard about the sport, it's sorta the current rage over here in California (it originated in Hawaii). Actually, now the new thing is to doing yoga on your SUP board. And we tried that too. In fact, my two hottie BF's (the ones in the svelte blank bikini's) where able to jump full 360's on their boards by the end of our stint. Yeah...I was jealous. I got to a ~135, but not the full rotation. But that leaves room for next time right? The great thing about doing SUP-ing out on the East Coast though is the water is WARM when you fall off. Not the case here in California. 
But I'm fully back in California. Vacation is over, school has begun, and I am ready to roll baby! So in the spirit of Back to School, Back to Life...here are my Goals for the Week:


Athlete: I miss biking (and swimming sorta...)! I went for my first bike ride yesterday in months and lemme tell ya...I am OUT of bike shape. And I miss it. So I'm bringing back my true cross training this week: 4 runs, 2 bikes, 1 swim, 3 strength training sessions. baby steps.


Mom: Sign up lil' A for either horse riding lessons or art class. She wants both. Start looking at ways to simplify all the stuff they have piled in their bedroom. It's outta control.


Wife: lunch date next to my new office, and research anniversary get away


Health: 2 cups of coffee, 2 lil' servings of dessert. Reward myself with smiling at myself in the mirror. Sounds cheesy but I think it might work.


ME!: Artist Date where I carve out 1 hour to just go play, investigate something new, satisfy my inner kid.


Now...as always I write these down on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and read it each morning as part of my morning routine. And this is what I've got going on in my neck of the woods this week. Now...how about YOU? Would LOVE LOVE to know what you've got going on in your camp? Is it school time yet for you? Are you gearing up or coming off a race? Talk to me, talk to me!
