booze gut

Holy.

Fun.

Have not done that in awhile...first was a tri-group get together and everytime I looked, my martini glass was full...it was like magic...my head hurts today...then off to a pub to celebrate Karina's 40th...someone made her a hat with a cougar on it...my head hurts still...I have to be at the hockey rink in an hour...help...

Shaun and the birthday girl...

The other Shawn and Colleen

I didn't disappoint on the nachos...

The night was an 80's theme night, so some of the hair was way up there.

My crew. My support system. My girls. My rocks. We have been together over 20 years now...I can hardly believe it...it has gone by so fast!!

what's new

Nothing.

I still have not yet done a workout.

Justin sent me an e-mail..."Relax. Let's talk when you are ready."

Okey Dokey

I think I am getting close...to getting ready....to do something. We had our local tri club sign up on Wednesday night and I have signed up for Sunday swims again. Jenna and Chuck will be there...thank-gawd. And we are in the city's brand new $50 mil facility!! Bonus. I will post pics so you can all see what our taxes have built. It really is a beaut.

Hosted my book club last night. Had too much wine and ate way too much. Was a really good time. Those gals are all so on their game. Except not many like my book choice; "Sing them Home." Oh well...can't be brilliant ALL the time...next up is "Book of Negroes." Looking forward to this one.

On tap for the weekend is maybe a bike ride...the weather is absolutely gorgeous and I would hate to waste it. A tri-club function. A 40th birthday party. Hockey practice (at which I expect to be tired and hung over...but sometimes you just gotta have fun...) Paint part of the fence. Clean the garage. The couch. Football.

Have a good one!!

c'mon baby light my fire...

That old fire in the belly has not lit itself yet for any fall training.

There was a brief little spark that simmered for about 20 minutes when Jenn texted me her run splits today...but it then puffed out as quickly as it came...

Coach Justin has called me twice and I have yet to return the call.

I am a hack.

Plain and simple.

A very busy hack, but a hack just the same.

I have a friend who is turning 40 this weekend. My first 40th birthday party!! OMG!! The plans are laid out for the night and I think my subconcious is telling me to hold off any other strenuous activity as there is an all nighter just around the corner....

even ninja turtles reach their limit...

MS Bike Tour 2009

Eeeek...look how white my arms and legs are!! And I do have a bike tan!! I may have to reconsider my anti-tanning stance...

An emotional day for me today. I bike the MS Bike Tour up at Waskesiu. And it was fun at the same time! My team "Back of the Bus" raised OVER $10,000!

This is what I am wearing next year.

The Superhero team...not sure which super hero this guy is but I wish I would have known and I would have worn my WonderWoman costume.

A two seater. Notice the hydration on this bike. Gotta love events sponsored by beer companies!!


I wanted to steal this.

We had these signs tied to the back of our bikes. The red lights really worked and flashed!

Welcome to Northern Saskatchewan

You don't see this at a triathlon. And they were packing "the heat" too! Maybe they thought they were going to see a bear?

Everyone stopped at half way and here was our lunch...

Another Northern Sask shot...

This was the last rest stop...that's me and a bit of time with a Kayak...
