As always I have too many things on my to do list.  Right on the top is:  swim x2, run x1 and bike x2.  That will put me at 100%. Doubt I will be able to get over though.

Wasn't able to get out of work long enough to get my final swim in last week.  So, I headed over to the Y and did that this morning.  I need to go get a run in today...  I was putting it off since my foot hurts was waiting for it to snap out of it.  Now my husband is going to pick us up a new kayak.  Hopefully, the thunderstorms will hold off until he gets back so I can do this outside!  My foot will NOT like the dreadmill.

Had a wonderful massage today.  My only beef is that they use a lot of scented oils and candles around the room and my sinuses (which are lousy on a good day) let me know it wasn't a good idea by filling up.

Also had a nice ride on my bike too.  So I am officially over on the bike.  Over on the strength/stretching......even since dropping the run and swim (though I did swim last night and my lungs weren't too keen on it!)

Come on ladies, finish strong!!

I rode 52.5 miles today to finish off my bike goal! Next Sunday I'll be up in Saratoga Springs, NY doing a metric century for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. Perhaps you'd consider sponsoring me?

Today's race made it necessary to come up with a new acronym, so here it is: FATS. It stands for Few Are This Stupid. The water was freezing! I mean, FREEZING! It stung everywhere your skin was exposed. It rained almost the entire race, too.

On the bright side, I set a new course record for my age group! I finished in 1:28:??. Not blazing fast, but 9 minutes faster than the former record holder. I had a great bike ride, though official results aren't up yet. I'm excited to see them! I was fourth in women's overall for the day!

Way to go setting a course record!  Don't envy the conditions though.  Ouch!

Last night at the pre-race meeting it was 52F. It rained and was cold through the night. It took me about 200 yds before I finally put my face in the water.

Shoeless - 2010-05-26 11:38 PM I am happy to say that I am well! I'm sorry so many of you are sick or injured. It must be the pits. It looks like I will be 100% on all of my goals this month! I am racing this weekend, and that should finish off everything but the run. This morning I nearly got pushed off the road by a school bus, AGAIN! This happened last week, too. There is no alternate route, and I can't go at another time, because I work at the school! I left a message at the bus garage, but I need to call back tomorrow. These drivers need to be educated about Montana law. Both times they could have slowed down for just 10 seconds and I would have been out of their way. Happy Thursday!


YIKES!!!!!  I have been buzzed by school buses too, it scares the bejeepers outta me!


Be careful out there, ladies!  I find that whenever I have a close call, it's almost always a pickup truck.  And last summer, some jerk in a rusted old station wagon with the fake woodgrain siding (remember those?) literally tried to run me off the road.  As I barely recovered my balance and came to a stop, he had his hand out the window and was flipping me the bird.  Nice.

I wanted to wish you all a fabulous (and safe) holiday weekend! Cool

It almost sounds like you live in Central Illinois, we have that problem here too.

I ran today.  It was not pretty.  No BFHG on my back....more like a 40 lb sleeping child.  UGH.....Just glad to be able to get out there and do it though!

My race report is up, but the times are unofficial.

My poor daughter (18 years old) had a terrible race. You can read about it in the 'comments' section of my race report. She was so bummed out.
