Run, Swim, Bike, Run, Swim, Bike, Run, Swim, Bike . . .
So, it's been a few weeks since I"ve updated. What's the inspiration to write today, you ask? Well, I really just love my new userpic.
So, I'm getting ready for that August 6th KTown Tri. I took the week of my birthday off, and was really dissapointed with myself...until I realized that my 'slow' week was that week, anyway. So... I feel OK with missing the slow week. Anyway, it seems like it's only benefitted me regardless. I'm re-energized..and getting excited to work out...! I know, I sound ridiculous. But sadly, it's true. I feel restless when I miss a workout these days... does that mean I'm getting in shape? I hope so..
Anyway, I got an iPod Nano for my birthday, and I think that helped A LOT. I mean, c'mon. When you're ready to stop after those 3 miles and Ciara comes on the pod with 1 - 2 step, you kind of HAVE to go for that fourth mile. I don't want to dissapoint Missy E (my gangsta counterpart). And the biking is going well, too. I'm doing about 22 miles a workout. Swimming is a little harder to judge, what with the size of the PSC pool (it's dinky)... but I'm a good swimmer, so I'm having a hard time imagining it being a problem.
The long-short of all this is that I think I'll be ok for this race! I can do the 7k that this requires, no prob on the 18 miles of biking..and I think i'll be fine for the .5 mile swim. It'll be interesting to see if I can put it all together though... but c'mon, I still have about four weeks to go.
Oh, and I have a toe blister. On my pinky toe. Erin says I should try new socks...which makes sense, considering I strapped on my cheap pink thick ones this afternoon. No wonder I have myself a blister..woot. Thanks for the tip, woman :) And yeah, I definately fell off my bike yesterday at the intersection of 5th and Arch. Nobody asked if I was OK...(there were about 10 people watching), but I did hear a few snickers. I swore a few times, stood up, dragged my bike onto the sidewalk, and am now tending my battle wounds in privacy. I WILL CONQUER YOU, CLIP-IN PEDALS!!! AAAARRGGHHHH!!! ;)
Ok, enough for now. Two weeks EXACTLY until I am basking in the sun at Canandaigua Lake, enjoying life! SUMMER, HERE I COME!!! :)

PS: Running 4 miles in 38 minutes ROCKS.
