Seriously....I did!
But first things first....who watched that Ironman Hawaii on Saturday? That was very exciting! I was bummed that Chrissie was out but that really opened up the race to see what others had for the day, didn't it? And what about Mccormack...is he the hottest triathlete? Or what!!!?? DAMN those guys and girls can RUN!! Justin has told me that to get to Ironman Hawaii, you need to be a really good swimmer...a really good cyclist...and a really good runner....so basically, I have one out of the three...but no desire to do that ever...would take too much time out of my regular scheduled life...so that's that!! I have been following a blog for awhile now of a gal out of California and she started triathlons 2 years ago. Sounds like she did not really know she was all that athletic...never did much as a kid etc, but picked it up (easily) and CRUSHED it in Hawaii!! Ran a 3:10 marathon!!! But damn she works hard...I will give her that...she really works hard at it all and deserves all the success.
So about my swim...nearly 3000 meters in the pool on Sunday. A long, building fitness type of a swim...some pull, some drill, some kick, some swim. I was kind of bored by it all, but was good to stretch these arms and legs and go nice and steady. I need someone FUN to swim with...all those boys are just too damn serious...I am only swiming once per week this year. Dumped my Wednesday swims for pilates. Due to the holiday, the Monday pilates was cancelled so I got my butt out the door and ran. For over an hour!! It actually felt really good. Was nice and cool and a bit breezy and I just ran and ran and ran until I got back home. Nothing very exciting to tell y'all, but I RAN!!!
Coming up is pilates on Wednesday, another run on Thursday and a swim on Sunday. That's it for the week. Coach Justin sent me a very kind e-mail last week that he is taking some space and all of my workouts are optional...yeah...I was THAT stressed out a few weeks back with everything going on...the week I bailed on the half marathon. We are going to ease back into some training after kids' schedules are sorted out. Work is crazy busy...I have been selected to be the lead volunteer the night of the Gold Medal Plates Gala...will be super cool and exciting to have dinner with some of our Canadian Olympians!! Hockey is in full swing...frick...no one said we had to fundraise for this level of hockey...that SUCKS!!! I am going to keep track of what we spend this year (already over $1000...and he has not even played a game yet...) post the income statement and then we can all barf together...

Those pilates classes sound like a lot of fun -- I remember I took a series of them a few years ago, and I loved it.
I think hockey totally trumps triathlon in terms of moolah spent, eh? CRIPES!! $1000 already. I'm going to tell Mike, "At least I am not into hockey!" LOL!!!
