It's official, I finished my first triathlon! With a respectable time of 2:04:53. The swim was terrible because my goggles fogged over and I had no visibility. The bike was tough but much better than I expected and the run was ok but could have been faster. I finished where 70 others dropped out! Pictures to post tomorrow, including the hilarious ( Read more... )

Tomorrow - Sunday Sept, 17th, I am competing in my first triathlon! EEK! I'm excited and freaked out. 1/2mi swim, 14mi bike and 3.1 mi run. Swam yesterday in the pool in my wetsuit for more practice and the looks the old ladies in the water aerobics class gave me were priceless ( Read more... )

I have been keeping a secret...I've been on a power diet since about February. I started at the beginning of the year, but then was sick as HELL the whole month of Feb, so once I recovered I really got serious.

I have spent the last week with the flu. I haven't bee this sick for many years. I also managed to get an ear infection. My doctor said it's an infection that's so bad you don't often see it in adults. Well, that's me, overachiever. I went into the city on Monday for a work conference, loaded up with drugs, and stayed for the INXS concert. I can't ( Read more... )

Predictable. That's my opinion of the latest HP book.

I knew it was going to be Dumbledore who died from page one. I just had a feeling. I liked this book the least of the 6 so far. I am wondering if D's death was planned by he and Snape? Maybe D went to Snape and said that he felt his death would be necessary to further their cause? Snape might ( Read more... )

True story: I slept for about 7 hours on Tuesday, from 9am-4pm. That sounds like plenty of sleep, but for some reason when I sleep during the day I need much more to feel rested. Take that on top of the fact that I've worked 40+ hrs a week for the last month, and I'm just plain tired. After I got up I wanted some socks for my cold feet (my feet ( Read more... )
