I'm going to try to escape work a bit early today to bike ride.  My neighbor has poker tonight, I've heard poker is a sport, can I log that?
Okay, so I made it home at about 4:00; cleaned up a few things went up stairs to change into my biking stuff and I passed out for about 1.5 hours.  I did manage to get the bike rack on Z's car, play poker and now I'm backat work.  (11:25 PM) Lovely

run is in.. hit the showers 
Free Lunch Thursday - they ordered Ribs and all the fix'ns  so I eschewed that and went and got a salad + a nice piece of steamed ginger sole. I feel good about that
DW finished school on tuesday for the term so  we wnet out with friends last night for the first time in forever. - missed the training session but it was good to get out and  act semi-adult.
At Harbor lights there was an amazing woman who passed me twice - once on my last lap of the bike - it must've been her first and once again at mile 2 in the run. She was um.... very fit.
Turns out she is a pro, took 2nd AO women and 1st in AG, 51 OA.

I hate monsoon season.  Don't get me wrong, I love the cooler weather and the rain and all that stuff.  I just hate the bugs that come out when it rains.  On Tues night I went out to cover up the grill, barefoot of course, and glance down to see a 1.5" dia spider and its larger 2-3" dia companion nearby.  I hop back inside and get Katie (cat 1) in because I have no idea what kind of spiders these are, just that I don't like spiders.  AT ALL!  So I determine they are wolf spiders and I go to bed with no problems.  So last night I'm checking the doors before I go to bed and I flip on the porch light and glance down (from inside this time) and I see half of this huge black thing.  I have a freakin saucer sized tarantula by the door.  For whatever reason this scares the crap out of me far more than the two spiders the night before.  So I sleep with the light in the bedroom on until about 2 and the tv on all night.  Every t

The New Avett Brothers album came out Tuesday and I completely forgot I have been so busy. And imagine my joy at finding out that it is available on vinyl. I just picked it up and can't wait to listen to it tonight.
 
I was actually looking forward to M&M last night I had a very stressful day and wanted to hang out with the gang but I got home and decided to read until it was time to go. I sat down in my chair and promptly fell asleep with the book in my hands. I woke up at 11:00 with the book still on the same page.


rbschlesinger http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.asp?memberid=15169&year=2008&month=7&day=24 Well, guess this week will be my rest week since the weather is kind of ruining my plans for high mileage this week.  I'm gonna try to get a good ride in tomorrow but Saturday is a no go since I'll be helping my brother move.

IMAZ 23 November.  Thanksgiving is the 27th.  Hmm.  Maybe if the Dr. and I have a good place near San Diego/Pendleton - vice 29 Palms - we should have the family come to us.... Lottery Winner Trains for Kona ... in Iraq
Look at this guy go!  I just shot him an e-mail wishing him luck with his training.  If I get a positive response, I'll ask if he needs anything for his training... maybe just some positive vibes... and I'll pass the address (if he agrees) on to you peeps.

KathyG http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.asp?memberid=18074&year=2008&month=7&day=24 Nothing today. Not able to swim, do weights or bike right now.. shoulder is very acutely painful. Getting treatment for it, but I'm trying my best to not use it at all. Even going as far as to use my mouse in my left hand. That's, uh.. interesting...
