Totally Nutty Triathletes (TNT) (Page 52)

Just some silly boy in the passenger seat of a truck.  Here's the full detail, copied and pasted from my log (and edited for content):

On my way back into town I got to have this fun "conversation" with some idiot in a truck.  He was stopped behind me at the light at 9th and Greenbush waiting for the left arrow.  We got the green light and I crank up to get started and start hauling up the hill.  Greenbush is narrow at the bottom of the hill so dude in the truck had to wait behind me for a few seconds until the road opened up again.  The passenger of the truck (not the driver - the stinking passenger) shouts out the window, "Get on the sidewalk."  So I politely shout back, "F--- off."  Followed by an incredulous, "There is no sidewalk, jacka--!"  upon realizing that this particular section of Greenbush is indeed sidewalkless.  Thanks for the advice on how to ride my bike, dude.  He's lucky there was a car between him and me at the next stoplight.  I would have continued educating him if I could have.  They really shouldn't mess with me when I haven't had enough sleep.  I get cranky.

that is really early! I am very impressed!! these are my shoes trying to get me up before....lets say....7am:

as for pictures of where I ride...here are just a few:

 15 minutes from my driveway and we are here...on our way up to Huddart Park in the hills that you see in the distance.

 this is one of my favorite places to visit...the Pulgas Water Temple on Canada Road. this is me and my dh.

and this is me going shopping...with all the gas prices...I ride my bike and then I can get more goodies with my savings in gas money! BRILLIANT, EH?

 LOL!

Went for a short slow run this morning and then took the kids to mini-golf for a quick 18 holes.

My afternoon was spent shovelling gravel into a wheelbarrow and taking up my driveway round to the back of the house to fill in the dog run. My neighbor bought loads of gravel for their yard and had a huge amount left over. They said I could have it, if I got it moved today........so since beggar's can't be choosers, I spent 2 hours in 97degF heat shovelling.....Man I am tired.

Me and dw are gonna take the kids for a swim this evening once she gets done with work, but I don't think any laps are on the cards for me today.....just too wiped out from the yard work.......think I will just goof around with the kids and practice my scary shark moves.........................how does it go again........something like this........

...Daaa...dun......

......daaaa.....dun....

Dun,dun......dun,dun....dun,dun.......dun,dun

...DA....DA.....DA

LOL!

"We're gonna need a bigger boat!"

OK Dee - if you are trying to keep me from swimming....you can keep showing these pics! I want my mommy!

i did actually go out and do my regular 3 miles last night after dinner (yay for almost being the longest day of the year!) and it DID make me feel better. (usually does) the pool was closed because it's a high school pool, and there was a sign on the door saying that they were going to be closed from the 18th to the 22nd for cleaning, and then they were going to be on summer schedule (which SUX for me, but whatever) SO i ran. i'm better. i'll run tonight when dh gets back (all he told me yesterday was that he'd been called in-this MORNING he told me it was only for a hearing thing, and he'd be back in like 3 hours, so it's FINE, but geez! he KNEW i had gone to the dark place, he COULD have been more specific!! LOL) SO i'm back from the dark place, i'll still get my run, (and possibly a ride too) in this afternoon. the swim-well, with 110% on the table, i MIGHT just have to suck it up and get in the lake. (ooh boy) OR find another place to swim-anyone out there super wealthy? we really need an aquatic center in my town!! LOL--oooh, i forgot to log my run last night. better get on it now!!

Good Job Lyssa....way to not let that pool closing get you down...and glad you are back from that dark place! that is no place for you...even to visit! have a great run....and BTW - the lake is calling you.....I can hear it from here!

I'm here...............at work :-(

My meeting just cancelled so I thought would do a quick check in.

As for 110% goals...........Run, oh yeah, gonna nail that one......................Bike, should be able to get close.....Swim, maybe, maybe, maybe

Never got any photos taken on my ride to work this morn cos it was too dark and I forgot my camera so none on the way home either........LOL.....maybe tomorrow.......
