I can see clearly now....

the warm up

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled blogging about training (or lack thereof). I'm part of the 30 day challenge, in fact it was my idea. I am struggling to get the workouts in but thankfully I was smart enough to make walking acceptable. The whole idea was to get me off the couch. I even did a short trainer ride last night.  I'm prepping for weekend festivities which include the Kona party on Friday night where I finally get to meet a few other bloggers and I'm sure there'll be much fun. I promise to tweet!! John and the Mrs. are staying at my place and I'm going to try to wrangle John to make sure I've got the trainer set up correctly cause it's awfully noisy and feels weird. I probably just need to get used to it. Now that the tattoo has healed it's back to the pool for me I think on Sunday. I am equally dreading and looking forward to it. When I think about swimming the first thought I have is how nice it is to roll around in the water, maybe do the breast stroke at a slow pace and won't that be nice but sure enough when I get my butt in the pool and start doing laps I start immediately with 'oh my god this is exhasuting!!' My coached swim program this year is on Thursday mornings @ 5:30am (WTF coach) so I need to get some practice in before we start.

yay, a surprise 

Re the pictures. It was my birthday this past weekend and on Saturday morning I woke up and went to our local Santa Claus run. I did not run it, I was hanging out with my friend's son so that she and her husband could both race. This boy is completely adorable, he had me in stitches the entire time!! When I arrived home between the race and going out for my hair appointment there was a present on my doorstep, NICE!! My roomie has moved out but she dropped off a gift for me. I think she was sick of listening to me complain that there wasn't enough light for me on my kitchen counter so she bought me a lamp. I have to admit that when I first looked at it I thought, that is strange, who would put a lamp on a kitchen counter but then I put it up and I LOVE it! Looks pretty funky if you ask me. She is my decorator and I should learn to NEVER second guess her, it's because of her that my house looks so nice (when I clean it up).

New job is going good, am actually enjoying riding the train into work. I guess I was sick of sitting in traffic and I'm reading books again! I have to admit that it's a bit awkward to read my latest new book on the train, it's Jenna Jameson's autobiography, and there are pictures. I can feel the men stealing looks over my shoulder and I feel a bit pervy myself. Interesting story but I need to get a library card.

That's all I got
