QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED (Page 50)

Today's an off day....went to a movie!  Tomorrow, a little 15 min or so run, and Sunday is the MARATHON!!  To say that I have the jitters would be an understatement.....and the weather report isn't helping.  Looks like 50 degrees, rain and wind....hunky-dory.  Not even sure what to wear, but at least obsessing about that is keeping my mind off the 26.2 miles ahead of me.  It'll be fun.  It's in Napa, about 2 hours from here, so I get an overnight with hubby and friends, and wine tasting afterwards.....yeah!  See, I can keep my mind off the 26.2 miles, easy!!

Don't know why I have the sunglass girl up.....looks like I won't need them!

I'm running tomorrow.  It's supposed to rain so if it's real bad I'll take the still coughing self to the gym and suck it up on the dreadmill.

After my trainer ride (if it's pouring) I'll head up to Performance with Sweet Mama cause she needs some major bike love after the winter on the trainer and 2000 miles since I bought her. 

I need to head over to 3sports too (tri shop) to try on the tri club suit and possibly order it.  No more racing in a bathing suit and bike shorts.

Kathy, I loved it!   I've also been blogging a bit lately, (not to your caliber!) and would love to get input from you - and anyone else with an opinion!  Seem to do my best work when I can't sleep - note the posting times!

Middle of the night question that's been floating around our neighborhood.  If you are married (or engaged) do you train and/or race with your wedding/engagement ring on?  If not, why not?  Any thoughts?  This has been a recent (big) topic of conversation on the pool deck, and I thought I'd throw it out nationally, and internationally, and to a great range of people!   I'd love to hear your thoughts!

 I do not wear it when I race. Don't want to risk losing it in the water. 

 Funny thing is my husband has NEVER worn his....it does not agree with his skin. I have never minded that he does not wear it.  

Nope I haven't been wearing my wedding/engagement ring for months and never swimming. I just bang it to much and my fingers change sizes depending on the weather and I'm afraid I'd lose it. I have white gold ring and they put platinum prongs on it to try to have it hold up better. I probably have had it fixed 10+ times.

A good BT friend has had to have her engagement ring worked on a few times and her jeweler told her chlorine is bad and is what is wrecking her prongs.

I lost a new sapphire earring in the pool once but after seraching for it found it on the bottom. Now I only wear cheap stuff or nothing.

I had a pair like that from my Grandmom, but they were lost and I sure miss them

They had been through a lot...burned in the trash in her back yard but recovered..my parents threw them out by mistake and we looked thru the garbage and couldn't find them.

Friend-of Harpoon hasn't proposed yet so i can't answer the current question; maybe next season i'll have to worry about it

as for my bad mood, well it's going away - had a great swim and outdoor run today and i'll be picking up my new toy later:

a local BT person is selling a 1-time-used-at-expo trainer and since i'm the last kid on the block to get one i figured it was time - and at a great price!

Now, when i'm feeling agoraphobic i can ride indoors

OH Linda - best wishes for a VERY fun little run thru Napa!!

i'm very jealous...... of the wine tasting

 Hey Pam!! Gorgeous pictures! You are a VERY good looking family!! 

Checking in after a few days - again.  Congrats Darren on the new arrival.  When do we get to see a picture and get an updated report on Mom and Daughter?

I wear no jewelry of any kind while working out.  I don't want to risk damaging or losing anything.  

I missed my Crossfit workout yesterday and so this morning I ran to Crossfit (5.5 miles) and then did the workout.  Chuck then picked me up and we had breakfast and it was all good.  

Tomorrow morning I am getting in my first ocean swim since the La Triathlon last September.   I have a wetsuit that I wore a couple times some years ago, but found that it was more trouble than it was worth.  Tomorrow will be cold enough that I am definitely wearing it.  Now I just have to hope that it still fits me (with the recent weight loss it should) and that I remember how to put it on.  I also plan to bike along Pacific Coast Highway after the swim. 

Have a good weekend everyone.

 Next thing you know she will be sprinkling random glitter all over the place!!!

Somehow, I just can't see it...I should probably leave that to you!!!

ps...I don't even glitter stuff up, too much work!

I never train or race with my wedding ring on. I'm afraid to lose it and my husband would prefer that I don't wear it because he's afraid that I'll lose it.
