Claire is laughing a lot.  She's got a really funny laugh that makes me laugh and then she laughs even more.  I say she laughs like Frankenstein.


Claire and I were playing Charades.  It took me a while to figure it out but she was playing out the Leaning Toward of Pisa.

Dad and I made 4 corn hole sets while he was here.  Marquette colors!!


We made two "Extreme Cornhole" sets and two regular sets.  The extreme cornhole attachment adds a 10 point hole and a couple of drink holders.

We moved Claire up to the level 3 nipple this week because she was taking an hour or so to eat.  She's eating much faster now.

RECAP:
The photos recap most of the week.  I also changed web hosting companies from WebHost4Life to Arvixe because WebHost4Life "upgraded" their systems and ever since doing so our websites were having uptime issues.  I had been using Webhost4Life for 7 years and told them I would continue using their service if they could fix the issue but after a few weeks I decided to make the switch.

We also moved Claire to a 4 hour routine instead of her old 3 hour routine and it seems to be working just fine.  She's sleeping between 7-9 hrs each night.

TRAINING:
Total Aerobic Hours: 3 hrs 38 mins
Running: 32 mi :: 3 hrs 38 mins (6:47 pace ave)

I've set some goals to get back into running shape for next year (2011) so I'll start posting progress here again.  This was my 3rd week of running over 20 miles.  My previous two weeks were both 23 miles.  I plan to slowly work my way up to 60 miles of running with 3 hours of cycling and hold there.  Right now I'm just trying to build a solid foundation of aerobic miles so won't really be doing much work above 160 bpm (lactate threshold minus 20 bpm) until I see that my pace and heart rate remain constant during my 10 mile run test.  I also won't be working above that level until my paces at 160 bpm are between 5:40-5:45 pace.  I suspect that will take another 2-3 months of aerobic development.  My plan is to run 2-3 runs per week at 160 bpm and the rest between 145-150 bpm to ensure that I'm working the lower aerobic zones as well.  The heat is definitely slowing these paces at the moment but I'm in no rush to start any faster work yet anyway.
