Workout: 3 mile run around da hood.

Scheduling

I just found out (via Fb) that Stayton, Oregon will hold its first spring tri in May. This is exciting becuase TH's mom was looking to do her first Tri next year and this would be perfect for her. Guess what else happens in May? I graduate. Guess what happens the same day as the tri. :( According to the Triathlon Brochure, it starts at 8am. Commencement start at 1pm, but I'm going to guess we have to be there by at least 11:30am for setup? It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get from Stayton to Eugene (at the most). If I finish the tri in 1 hour 30 min, that leaves me at 9:30. THe latest I would need to leave Stayton would be 10am. This is also assuming that my wave starts at 8.... Oh dear.

I dragged my mom to the pool today. She doesn't swim. She doesn't really kick with a kickboard either. Flippers helped. She's hooked. ha



Workout: 1700m swim and a 3 mile roundtrip walk to and from the pool.

Fall Back

Daylight savings starts tonight/tomorrow morning. It'll be light (sorta... it will be 40 and raining) a lil earlier in the mornings. Unfortunatly, it'll be extra dark, extra early. Mother effer. I dread the fall and winter






Workout: Bike trainer: 10 miles; Treadmill: Interval run 5K.

This is how we do it.

That's not clapping from the fans. That's rain. Welcome to the Northern Oregon Coast:

Tracking

I started this blog as a way to hold myself accountable. Well, accountability has been lacking. From now on I will start posting my workouts for the day. :)

Workout: 5 mile run after work

New goals

Hi Friends,

I'm saying goodbye to my VFFs. I'm too impatient to "build up" to them. See one of the only negative posts I could find, Here. I stopped the 100 pushup challange at week 4. Oops. I've seriously considered training for a Half Ironman next season. I think my only option is the Pacific Crest Tri our in Bend in June. Funny how I won't run a half marathon, but I'll do a Half Ironman (1.2mi swim, 56 mi bike, 13.1 mi run).

I've also started a batch of kombucha tea. I couldn't find a SCOBY, so I researched a recipe using raw storebought premade kombucha. Cross your fingers I don't get mold.

Halloween Weekend

Friday night TH and I and our friends went to see Paranormal Activity 2. TH and I saw the first one and really liked it. I'd say see both. Probably better to see it in a theatre on the big spooky screen. On Saturday, TH went hunting for Bambi in the morning and that evening we headed over to his parents' place for a Halloween party. we found our last minute costume... can you guess?


The Beagle dressed as a mummy. He was very threatening and scary... as you can see:

My favorite part of the night was probably when TH's Cousin's son put on my wig and pranced around like a girl. It was adorable and I'm sure he'll regret that decision when it starts trying to impress the ladies.

Sunday was pretty uneventful. I slept most of the day because I wasn't feeling all that great. (No, not because of that!) I went on a short (2mi) run and almost died. I've really had low energy lately. We had a handful of trick-o-treaters. The first one came and the Beagle was in attack mode for some reason. TH was handing out candy and I heard screams and ran to the door. The Beagle was busy wagging his tail saying, "hello," but I guess the kid wasn't so excited. We ended up putting the baby gate up so Attack Beagle couldn't do any more damage.

Here are some pics from the Astoria Triathlon I said I would post.
