No, I’m not out of town. No I’m not injured so badly that I can’t run or bike. No I’m not working late even though I should. What I AM doing is working on my annual Landscape Cross Training which occurs in a mad rush the week prior to Memorial Day weekend. Tonight will be the third night in a row of Landscape Cross Training.
Fortunately, the weeds and giant thistles have been pulled prior to them going to seed. Yay! 🙂
I have repurposed an old, torn pool cover for ground cover in an attempt to keep SOME thistles from popping through my mulch!
I have purchased some new shrubs in an attempt to retake the thistle thriving territory.
I have spread mulch, more mulch and then yep, I have more to spread.
I’m still not done but it’s Wednesday and I will trade in some cross training for running with the F’N Runners! Then I’ll go home and hopefully finish planting & mulching…..so I can start work on the pool.
Which may or may not have some living creatures.
So we can have a pool party!
Any landscape cross training for you this week? Any green swimming pools that you are trying to bring back to life for the holiday weekend?

Yesterday I mowed the lawn and some gardening. I have not yet dug up my vegetable garden to plant that yet though. It’s small but a lot of work for me! And I tend to feel guilty when I don’t workout (in the traditional sense). Too much to it in after working all day!
I know! It’s so hard to fit everything in and I get irritated when the things I “have” to do interfere with what I want to do. 🙂
