Endurance Turtle A journey through this turtles triathlon adventures

Remember those dolls? My Buddy and Kid Sister? I used to have a Kid Sister and I really liked her hair because I could braid it, put it in a ponytail or just leave it down…and when I would grab her by her hair she wouldn’t cry

Anyway! Last night was a GREAT workout! It was the weekly PTC brick and other than hardly being able to breath, it was good. We started out with a “warm up” lap (which is almost full throttle for me) and then we did a fast 2nd lap (which I barely hung on for) and 2/3 of the way through the 3rd lap…I was toast! So I broke off to do some hills while everyone else kept going. I ended up doing 5 laps in a little over an hour and did a total of 17 miles. I think I did well overall and really tried to push myself up the little hills. Once I was done on the bike I loaded it up on to the car and threw my running shoes on. George had just gotten there when I had to pee, so I went pee while he got his running shoes on. So I go in to the park potty (gross) and squat…I normally don’t squat because I really don’t like it. But I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to carefully line the cold metal toilet. So I get up and turn around to flush and my AAA plastic key that I carry (instead of my keys) drops into the toilet….with MY PEE!!!!!! “oh shit” (I really said that out loud) So I dug in for it and went straight to the sink to wash my hands and key card…but of course…no soap…meh…

So I leave and George is there waiting for me so then we start our run. Turns out, George and I make GREAT running buddies. We go at about the same pace and we push each other to not stop and walk. And guess what, we ran 3.7 miles without walking! That’s huge for us! I am not sure how long it took, but it was nice being out there with George and we got to catch up on our daily activities. There is something great about being able to do that with your significant other, it really is a bonding moment. 

We get back, we chat for a bit with some other PTCers and then we went to din din. I had a coupon for La Cabinita and we pigged out on some chicken and steak fajitas. Yum!

Overall, a great workout, I had fun and was pleased with my results. I think I will have to drag George out for more runs since we run so well together, he’s my buddy.

Now, I follow a few blogs and one of them is The Chic Runner, she is having a contest and if I post about it on my blog…I get an additional entry! The contest is for a $100 gift certificate to OnlineShoes.com…now…2 things to note:

1. In this post I spoke about my new shoes…well…where did I get them from???? OnlineShoes.com!

2. I love shoes, I put them in plastic boxes with pictures so that they stay protected and organized. I think I might have about 50 pairs of shoes that are active in my life right now….

So check out her blog, and if you want to get an entry too, just read up on how to.

Otherwise, its Thursday! One more day till Friday! Then one more day till the SPA!

Yay!
