woohoo Phelps!

*finally* having a chance to watch some olympic swimming tonite, and it's interesting b/c this is the first time watching as a 'real' swimmer myself. I'm noticing stylistic points and uber muscles . Makes me want to be in pool rather than on the couch eating pastry. But hey I did do two half mile loops at Brighton on Sunday. And got a jellyfish sting on the nose to show for it. *nods* Battlescars, baby!

The perfect workout formula

One Starbucks Iced Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte + One Luna Mini Nutz-over-chocolate before + propel raspberry lemonade powder in water during + 2 scoops Luna recover smoothie after = 5.8 miles in 65 minutes :)

Ok, so it's not gold medal worthy, but not bad for an asthmatic who dislikes running tho enjoys the munching out afterwards .

I'm doing the Nike Human Race in three weeks, and would LOVE to do it in an hour.

Because serial killers drink milk, milk drinking must cause people to become serial killers

Borrowing a page from Joe Mallozzi in titling my posts ;)

I am programmed to run on Wednesday nites, so run I did. Didn't do too badly either - only walked a little. Did the 5 mile loop along the bay, plus the extension under the bridge. It's lovely running in the rain - don't get overheated, and it keeps most of the people away. My new race belt *rocks*. It holds my keys, and a gel or some chews, and Tonks the iPod shuffle can clip to it. Tho today she had to stay in the car b/c of the rain, so instead I listened to the birds, and the waves, and the horns on the Cross Island Parkway... *g* Now I just need to find some running shorts that don't ride up, or I shall have to resort to wearing my diapers tri shorts all summer to run.

The NYC tri is the day after I return from Hungary, so I guess I will not be a cowbell girl for that. But there's always Westchester in the fall :)
