I'm melting...

So, it is ridiculously hot. It's pretty much all I can think about. The heat and humidity was way worse in Dubai, but we lived in our air conditioned bubble so it was manageable. Here there is just no place to escape!I was trying to figure out

The weekend was great, Steph and I walked from Grinzing up to Kahlenberg on Saturday morning, went to another friends for a Mexican feast, got up early for a long bike ride and then went and had a great salad for lunch. All part of my new "active lifestyle" vs. training. Work is work, super hot, kids are nice, crazy start, but it should be fine. Back to more interesting things... I am going to try an "active lifestyle" instead of training, but, it's hard because I don't feel very motivated. I've been running an hour or more pretty much every day, no swimming and a few long bike rides, and I can do it all, but, it just doesn't feel good. Ugh. I'm hoping it gets better! I don't want to feel like this for long. May need to sign up for another race so I have some sort of goal in sight!

I just pulled out my spiral notebook of things I want to do in my life, I finally get to cross off Ironman, which was written in with a question mark because I wasn't sure I wanted to do one. Well, I did it. I'm going to look through and see if there is anything else I can cross off, or anything I should add.

I've been reviewing my finances and should really cut back on traveling, but I just LOVE it. I really want to buy a scooter too, the commute is making me crazy. I wanted to take public and get to school early for the first week, but after a terrible commute on Friday and another awful commute on Tuesday, involving broken tram lines, a 45 minute walk and then a 12 Euro cab ride... something has to be done. Until I figure out what to do, I'll just have to take the school bus.

Since I'm melting and can't do much more than sit still with a fan blowing on me I have gone back to my Friday Night Lights addiction. I'm still on the first season, but loving it.

So happy tomorrow is Friday.
