aquagirl - 2010-01-15 8:42 AM Hello all!
Hope everyone is awesome today.
I am going to make it a "leg free" day.....thats what I call a day when I only swim. I wish my waterproof headphones were working.....I feel like swimming with music. Must order some new ones. 


How's swimming with a SwimP3 Helen?  I was contemplating getting one a few months ago.

Hi everyone!  I've been away for a little while...  I was sick all of last week and on was a course for the most part of this week. 

As far as the challenge goes, I think I will be able complete the swim before the end of the month.  The bike and run portions are in jeopardy.  I haven't put any bike kilometers thus far and have a little less than 10 km for the run.  Same goes for the 100-days run challenge I signed up for; I intended to do 57 runs but will have missed 8 come Sunday.  I will see how I could sneak an extra run in there or perhaps break an hour run in two 30 minutes runs and leave a minimum of 45 minutes in between as per the challenge's rules. 

Hope you are all doing well!

Nathalie

I actually have a waterproof case for my Ipod and waterproof headphones to go with it.....you have to buy them separately  but they go together.  Both are from H2Audio. Swimming with music is divine. Makes swimming more like running. Which everybody knows is way better than swimming!!

Nathalie be careful about "sneaking" in extra runs........not worth getting hurt just for the sake of a run challenge.

Now i am frying my HOMEMADE pierogies  in a bunch of butter....to be washed down with a cold beer....mmmmmmmm..........

Pierogies - ya part Polish?


I am 100% Polish!! Both parents Polish....they emigrated to Canada after the war. 

I knew it!  My wife and her family are 100%, also, but don't speak the language.  They only know a select few words.  My wife's Grandma would throw in a couple of sentences here and there.  She was a lot of fun.  I miss her.  She was the only Grandparent (even though not by blood) I ever got to meet.

You eat "punchki" at all?  Yummy!

Wifey had that when she was growing up.  Me, never tasted it.  I hated beets as a kid, though, when my Mom (Slavik) would serve beets at dinner.  BLECH.

It's only pink if you add the beets... that's optional.... borscht be yummy!

Paczki sounds delish.... you let me know when you're cooking them... we'll all be there for some.

yup... good ol' fashioned Polish/Russian/Germanic cooking. Stick to your bones good food. Or maybe that's because I grew up in a Mennonite community and this is all comfort food for me.

I miss certain foods now that I have grown up.  My Mom made a very tasty beef stew.  Wifey hates beef stew, though.

Hi all. Sorry I have been a bit absent I have been dealing with my back "issues".

Nats...dont worry about the challenge...do what you can.It was an incentive to keep us all motivated. I will come no where near finishing. No big deal, get better first!!!

I am also part Polish but only remember eating Gumpkies ( stuffed cabbage) and perogies( not a big fan). I remember my great granmother telling us to "yeat yor fud".

Quiet in here today.  Just got back from my ride - went just over 50 miles in 3 hours.  The trail was beautiful - 29 miles one way thru some beautiful terrain.  Didnt see another soul for the first 25 miles - stopped briefly to refuel and headed back.  Saw a lot of turkeys long the way, 2 BIG otters a couple llamas and an unidentified creature that crossed the trail a few hundred yards ahead of me - couldnt tell what it was.  I took a few pics but need to figure out how to upload them - will upload them later.

Ha! I never made stuff like that when I was little but a couple of years ago my friend and I spent one drunken summer day making pork sausages of all descriptions! Some with white wine and basil....some chipoltle....some oregano and garlic. It was a blast!

Wow those pics are beautiful. Were you on a bike trail in Lakeland? I plan to come to Fla (once injury free)and would love to ride on a trail like that. My folks are in Vero Beach which I know is a way from Lakeland but I fly into Orlando. They have bike lanes in the Vero/Treasure Coast but I do fear being run over by the over 70 crowd.

The trail is in Polk City which is 20-25 minutes from my house.  From the Orlando airport area it would take about 45 minutes.  From Vero Beach its about two hours.  I would be happy to play host if you want to make the drive over.
