Artemis - 2012-11-16 11:00 PM There's a new half marathon in Richmond on February 9.  Only $45 if I sign up before December 26.  That fits into my marathon training plan nicely. 

DOOOOO EEEEEEEET

P.S. How's the rainbow phlegm going? Hopefully not so much anymore ...

Less rainbow, more clear!  Definitely a sign that the infection is clearing up.  Sorry if that's TMI.  My husband thinks it's weird that I look at phlegm colors, but it is a good sign of infection.

Planning to just do a long walk on the treadmill this weekend and then start running again next week.  I have a 10k scheduled on Thanksgiving, so that will be my long run for the week.  I have to go to New Jersey for a wedding over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Is there even such thing as TMI in this thread?

I was going to ask that, but clearly I don't even know what TMI is.

Go Salty!
Go Kate!
Go Felicia!
Go Peanutbutter!

This little piggy went to the store and went WEE WEE WEE all the way down the cereal aisle ...

Thursday was Muslim New Year here, so as a holiday there wasn't the all-day rush hour logjam and I could go downtown Jakarta to meet one of the core fellow Triathlon Indonesia starters (we now have SIX triathlons in Indonesia, from sprint to iron, and HUNDREDS of triathletes) ... AND ...

... hit the boutique grocery store there ...

I bought TWO cartfulls of cereal (cough cough 50 boxes). I got my own personal piglet escort to the car (hard to push two carts at once, especially down people-mover escalators), where our driver piglet and the personal grocery piglet unloaded the goodies.

In case you were wondering:

-Cheerios (plain, Honey Nut, Yogurt Burst, Banana Nut, Apple 'N' Cinnamon, Multigrain, and Frosted)

- Lucky Charms

- Apple Jacks

- Honey Smacks

- Honey Kix

- I forget what else. I'm in athleticoma from an 8+ hour trainer ride and tranny run after.

Longest ride ever (even than the IM Melb bike course time).

- Oh yeah, how could I forget ... FROOT LOOPS

Saw the PT today.  I still feel sore on the heel etc. so still on the fence about racing.  I might start, see how and feel and if the pain is too much I'll stop.  I'm not a big fan of finishing a marathon a whole hour or more slower than I am capable of.  This is not a huge event so portions of the course will be quite lonely, nobody to cheer me on while I'm hobbling along etc.  I do feel better each day but I was hoping to be feeling better at this point.

But I'm not that dissappointed because good lord my running mile went from 77 in September to 164 in October duh!  I'm I suprised I have some type of run related ailment, nooooooo!

It's all good.

I do have a swim meet tomorrow!  I'll probably only swim a couple 50's and maybe the 100 IM.  I looked at the 50 yard breastroke start heat and it's pretty weak.  My PR is faster than the fastest seed time (for ALL age groups) so maybe I can get some swim meet hardware!  Of course at swim meets I'm MOP/BOP anyhow so I do it cuz my swim budz are there and we go for beer afterwards.  Perfect setup the day before a marathon don't you think?

What?  No Peanut Butter Captain Crunch!

Yes! On the beer, and the swim meet. Just don't sproing too hard off the starting blocks or the walls.

There was only plain Cap'n Crunch, and it was the generic Magic Time one. Some of the MT cereals are very good and dead ringers for the "original;" others, not so much, so I wasn't about to risk a precious cereal slot for something untried.

Well it sounds like you are on the right track and I am sure you will make the best decision for you. Honestly, whether you race the whole thing or not if you have a beer tomorrow after your swim meet you are golden in every way. 

Wait, 50 boxes? Why so much? Are you hoarding for the fiscal cliff? 

Everything is so come and go here. I may never see cereal like that again. I have never seen cereal like that here before. Even if there is some kind of selection (or just one or two good kinds), there may only be one box of it.

For example, SOMETIMES Pop Tarts are available here ... then will mysteriously disappear for months.

Anyway, it should last me 'til Australia (in 3 weeks, snerk), right? Then I can re-stock there.

Nice cereal haul, Yanti.  I loves me some Lucky Charms!

....I could jump on the drainer...I could pop the bike into the car go to the park and ride up and down. 

I choose the park - yay for me getting out there!

This weekend is very important.  I'm going to spectate at Shepparton 70.3  There I shall see of course the lovely Nigel - can't believe it was March when I met Nige and Yanti!  BUT more importantly I get to see Terenzo Bozzone race - WATCH OUT FOR A NEW AVATAR..!  Swoon.

Racing

Manatees!

This weekend we have a number of racers...

Salty - Mustache Dache on Saturday
Kate - Spartan Beast on Saturday
Felicia - Wichita Turkey Trot on Saturday
Reece - Gobbler Grind Marathon on Sunday

GO MANATEES!!!!!I'm doing my 70- could be 35- ride this weekend too

I will not accept blame for not putting it in there.  It is not listed on your racing schedule sidebar thingie (just the half marathon that you said that you are not running!) nor is it in the top bloggie thing (where Kate listed Spartan Beast).

GO ANN-MARIE!!!!!!!!

(Shhh!  Don't tell Yanti the news about Hostess)

You give our Nigey Pie a HUUUUUGE {MELON PRESS} and sloppy kiss from me, 'kay?

GO MANATEES!!!

HAHAHEAEHEHEEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!! Tomorrow's weather: low 60's, 80-90% chance of rain,?? up to 30 mph wind!!!! Plus lots of mud and sweat and obstacles!!!--_--_--_----_--_--_...We need a bouncing happy face.

Super excited for tomorrow, though super tired, and kinda nervous...Okay the beer I had at the pre-race mixer is probably helping my mood too. Whatever, good times tomorrow! 

Good luck racing Manatees!  For any of you who didn't get a pre-race beer in, I had this one for ya!

Mmmmmmmm, ginger.

I was meant to donate blood today--rushed out of work to make my appt--and then my hemoglobin is too low.  I was borderline last time too, so booked appointment with my doc for some bloodwork.  Not sure why I would be low; I was anemic years ago, but I was a veggie-tarian at the time.  I eat plenty 'o Fe rich foods, so curious... but figured beer would help
