Happy Birthday Olivia!

 

 

okay okay

yes, i’ve been away from my training blog the past few weeks.. it all started when my laptop had to be admitted to the operating room. then it was several days before it was discharged and returned to me. Since, then I took two lazy weeks off of training. Got back in the pool last weekend. Oh, yeah I was also in a car accident last week and it really exasperated my “swimmer’s shoulder”… am going to see a sports med. dr. on tuesday.

I attended a Summer Fun Run on the Beach last evening. That was cool. You could choose a 3 mile course, or the 4 miles to the pier and back. I chose the 4 mile run. Silly me. Well, I enjoyed it…. My parents had the kids, while I was at the beach. When I returned the children were all asleep, so I headed to the POOL! at 8:15pm! and swam 1300 meters… I’m a little stiff today.  I’ve also been having some back pain since the accident too. Will have to mention it to the Dr. on tuesday.

Finite does not exist in the vocabulary of endurance sports.

So, I just started in April… really! I am a baby compared to many in the community of endurance sports. But as I near my first race day, I am already planning the next! I went from calling it “the race”, to calling it “race #1″, as if it sure to be a serial thing. If you see my previous post I’ve already got 26 miles on the brain…. WTF? is wrong with me? (LOL) I saw that cute New Balance commercial last night, the Love/hate commercial? know what I’m talking about? and it SPOKE TO ME!!! 11:30PM, and I suddenly had the urge to slip my tennies on and go.

What does this boil down to? I just love the way I feel now after training since April. Totally different body. My sensory neurons are a happy bunch these days.

My Life in Bags

 

Funny how the story of a person’s life can be reduced to just looking at a few inanimate objects… but seriously, i come home, i drop one of my many “persona” bags on the floor next to the others and wonder to myself, just how many bags does a person need? and this is not all of them…. and keep in mind, these are bags that I switch to and from every day….

 

BPA free bottles and the SKeptic

so, whenever something controversial comes out I always go to my dad with questions because he is so incredibly insightful, and also a bit of a skeptic… and if the skeptic believes the hysteria then i am more likely to believe it myself…. 

he is a retired M.D…. HE SAID that he’s been concerned about Plastics for YEARS… he said that he became especially concerned about 20 years ago when the hospital and pharmaceutical companies switched their IV bottles from glass to plastic, that in addition to plastics being used in so many other areas clinically, he has continually been concerned about possible leaching…. 

so, there you have it, straight from the skeptic’s mouth.

I went to Toys r Us, Wal Mart, and Target…. only BPA free bottles they had were the evenflow basics or evenflow glass…. Went to Burlington Coat Factory/Baby Depot and they had some Born Free and BPA free Dr. Browns.   The Born Free they had were only 5 ounces, unless you purchased the big starter box which was like $50, and i wasn’t feeling in the mood to spend $50 on bottles… So I bought a couple of the Dr. Brown’s….

Oh yeah, and all the bottles that were on the unsafe list at Toys R Us, were on Sale! I heard that the super stores will be switching their stock at some point…

Pilates for warm up before I run

ermm, i have SO learned the hard way that a good warm up is essential to any of my training workouts, be it swimming or running…. so I just did a bit of pilates here at the house before I head downtown for my run at Forsyth Park… oh, and then I will be rewarding myself with a trip to the beach… cause guess what? the kids are with their father this weekend.. whoo hoo!

About the thirst problem: target.com has an inexpensive camelback but it’s only online, not in the store… so I think I’ll just have to park my waterbottle somewhere on my run route. but, seriously i’m going to need something before my race next weekend….

okay, off to hit the pavement!
