Since Barton Springs is closed, I was stuck swimming at the Y. Not the same, but it is what it is. I have a bunch of workouts in little ziplock sandwich bags and I picked one that I thought would be ( bearable to do alone. ) -

Planning ahead: I'll be doing a 4 hour ride on Friday, with an hour run off the bike. Anybody want to call in sick to work and join me ( Read more... ) -

Rain is coming down sideways and hail is hitting the deck & the back door. I have been looking forward to a long swim with deankat at Barton Springs on Tuesday. I need this. I need a lot of things. But I really need this. Please don't close the pool due to run off. Please? -

I saw handsome, darling Mr. Spencer towards the end of my run today. I haven't seen him in so long and it made me so happy that I gave him a kiss. At swim class, Laurie told me he started grad school. I guess that would make me disappear too. -

2.5 hour bike. After a spin on SWParkway as a warm-up, I did the length of Lost Creek, in honor of _fool, from Barton Creek Bvd to 360. From there a toodle through Rollingwood, access road to Mopac, SWP, etc home. Great ride. One of the best I've had in a while.
Swim class tonight. Whee.... -

The "in" crowd is posting their Wilke times. This morning I cleared my watch to time 2 Mile Time Trials for a couple of my marathon peeps, but I can tell you my first and my last. I'm fairly sure they were reasonably consistent, or I would definitely remember that they weren't. Andrea's mantra for me for the evening was "Think Quality, Not ( Read more... ) -

I like to write affirmations on index cards and have them in my transition and special needs bags. I am currently reading this book, which I bought after hearing the author speak. Very charismatic, very inspiring. He autographed it for me and I am making his words one of my affirmations for Ironman Coeur d'Alene ( Read more... )
