Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 67)

Day 3 of feeling normal -WTF!!!  Maybe what was really needed - yes hormones probably settled into the new medication, but maybe a rest from training!!!!  I know it's an outrageous suggestion and I struggle with it myself, but could it just be that!????

Oh and I'm still eating - found something which is basically almonds glued together in a flat circle with honey, glucose syrup and sugar - I think I broke three teeth, my fingers are all sticky and I'm in heaven!

Excellent news!  It's way cool about the potential sponsor but even more cool that you dad showed interest :-) 

Maybe you got behind on your eating? 

True dat on the hormone meds though.

Kirsten,

Do you read ST?  Have you seen the "Challenge Penticton" rumor?  Very interesting...

Uh, now DC Rainmaker is piling on.  "Just received press alert for Challenge Family adding new race, 10AM PST. Looks like rumors this is last year for Ironman Canada prob true."

Dang it!

Been trying to drop a few pounds and have been using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone to track food intake and some kind hearted jackaroo left donuts in the office, yesterday I was able to resist today not-so-much.  Apparently 1 maple frosted donut from Dunkin' is 270 calories!  Curses Foiled again.

Swimming tonight and beach weekend starting on friday.

Beeeaaaaach! Just beachy.

Yeah ... I've never figured out how something that weighs a couple hundred grams can actually put, like, two pounds on ya. But there you have it.

Wowsers!

Gotta wonder if WTC (although technically IMC is NAS) is reaching saturation point and "dumping" some races, especially those less popular among pros because they're so close to Kona and not worth many KPR points.

For the record, Ray Maker is a smokin' hot redhead. Hooooo boy ...

Hadn't heard this, but did know that the current RD was 'relinquishing control' and that changes were possible.  Another reason why I was debating signing up for 2013...Too bad, because I have family and friends in/around Penticton, so would've been nice to have an IM race there...time will tell I guess--there are all sorts of rumours that the race will be moved to another interior town, so we shall see.

I don't really follow any of the "long course" drama BUT I appreciated this comment:

"If it's a rumour about IMC it should probably be spelled rumour. 

Douchy Canadian spelling lesson over. "

Yes, I got a giggle about that as well.

I FINALLY joined a running club! 

Actually right after joining I immediately got an e-mail asking if I wanted to join the XC series through fall and winter.

Hmmmmmmmm do I?

I always like XC way more than track running when I was a kid.  Always seemed easier (prob because I never knew how far I was running).  Dooooooooo eeeeeeeeeet!

Hey, speaking of that did Froggy ever get his RR up?

No, that SOB, comes in here throwing out British insults and then doesn't follow through....

Well, of course.

Speaking of Brits, I just got the Emeli Sande album (she was the girl with the  that sang in the beginning of the Olympic closing ceremonies) Good stuff. Killer voice.

a shoot scratch that, she is Scottish

I'm online shopping for tri stuff. Someone lasso me!

The other day when my sister, mom and I went to the mall, for $170, we got:

3 pairs of New Balance runnies (one for each)

1 pair NB running capris

3 Converse sweatshirt hoodies

1 super-cooling (who knows if it does, but I ran in it and it's awesome) women's fitted running tee

1 regular black women's fitted running tee

They applied so many discounts, we were thinking they might owe us money by the end.

She's still Great British. Just not English.

Lemme get my rope.

Well, at least you are discount shopping. I can't bring myself to pay full price. For anything, just about ever...

Yeah...I was wondering how those categories fall. So I could still call her a Brit? Ugh, GB, UK, England-I don't get it. 

FLOWER POWER!

Do you have any idea how FREAKIN' AWESOME mini-Mini Wheats taste at midnight???

Eh, I might have an idea.

PS ran out of milk this AM and had my Fiber One (original) with applesauce. Not bad.

Hm. I can see that. I've eaten cereal with lots of interesting things ... syrup, butter, yogurt, coconut milk, strawberries, chocolate, Nutella, but never applesauce (that I remember).

Running out of milk is really unforgivable, though. You need to keep some powdered or canned around in case of contingencies like that, or real emergencies, for that matter.

You keep a survival kit around? One in house, one in car, one at work?
