Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 82)

Its been super interesting reading everyone's posts re. joining BT and mentor groups experiences. I joined 3 years ago, got with a pretty SLOW mentor group, then joined a busier group, and then joined the manatees and haven't looked back (truly, if I look back, I lose, like 20 pages!!!)...I have never been lucky enough to meet any manatees or other BT-ers for that matter, though I would certainly be happy to give any of you a tour of the zoo!

In other news, my dad got to go home today. According to my mom, they removed a bunch of fluid from him, and she is DETERMINED to make sure they BOTH eat really healthy---with her massive veggie garden that she has gotten going, I have no doubt that she will succeed with her plans. She emailed me and let me know all of that as well as her thinking that my father is actually scared enough to change (fingers crossed)--I replied and asked if there was any mention about his needing to be more active, including the thoughts of doing upper body stuff and swimming. I also told her that my gym is cheap and the pool is clean, so fingers crossed for possibilities there too. 

In other other news, I forgot to mention yesterday (in lieu of dad stuff), I picked up my cap and gown and got all the stuff needed for sending out grad announcements; I also joined the alumni association! (that needed special coloration) Only 1 month and 21 days to go!!! (and 1 month and 16 days to go til my biggest race this year--Auburn Oly. Tri.)

I'm going between a screen with an OWS 800/12.4/5k sprint  or a reverse 3.3mi/14.5/400pool "maxi" sprint. Ugh...decisions, decisions.

And what's with all the different sprint designations? Mini...maxi...super...and none of the distances seem "automatic" with the title. Swim and bike distances are all over the place. sheesh.

Since it has been awhile since I updated a picture of Pikatti, here is a collage of him. The lower left was at 7 weeks old, lower right is 11 weeks old. One the lower left he is under the same chair he is sitting in front of on the lower right. The top is just one of him napping.

I am looking forward to him being able to run, but I know that is a few months away. For now enjoying the break from everything in taking him for walks.

**I had very little sleep last night and have been loopy all day, so apologies in advance!**
