Tonight I'm supposed to swim laps, I skipped last week. Boo!
I'm not feeling it at all these days. I don't know why the excitement has declined.
I officially registered for the 5k on August 9th. And I found out that there's a wedding I MUST attend on August 23rd, so I'm not going to be doing a triathlon this year, I think. I want to do one before I turn 35, I just got so excited that I wanted to do one right away. I'm only going to be 29 on August 2nd so I have some time to get one done.
I've been volunteering and earning credits so I'll be able to do a couple next year for free!

Finally!
I mailed off my first ever ATCs for my first ever "stranger" swap! When they've received them, I'll post photos.
I got one of two of the ones I'm to receive. That's a cumbersome sentence! I haven't taken photos yet, though. (:

i'm not calling it quits, but...
I think I'm officially not doing the triathlon on august 2nd as planned. I'm now shooting for a smaller one called a "super-sprint" tri on August 23rd.
There's a 5k on August 9th that I'm interested in, too! If you pay $50 to register you get a SkirtSport package that includes:
Register before July 26th and opt for the SkirtSport Upgrade for $50 where your entry includes either a pink GymGirl or MarathonGirl (retail value of $50)
See http://www.skirtsports.com/shop/running-skirts.cfm
How cool would that be? I've looked at their gear and it looks cool. Can't wait until I'm skinny enough to pull that look off! (:
Anyone else free on August 9th and want to race with me?

lefoo, i'm afraid i've been thinking...
"a dangerous past time."
"i know, but that wacky old coot is Belle's father and his sanity's only so-so"
Anyways... (those lines are from Disney's Beauty and the Beast)
I pulled out a bike and rode it a mile or two yesterday. That was nice. I don't know how I'm going to swim .5 mile when i can barely swim 25 yards! and bike 16 miles when i can barely bike 2 miles! and run a 5k when i can barely walk for 15 minutes!
I'm crazy. I hope it all falls into place.

I'm trying, I really am...
I'm trying to make this blog easier to use so I'll update on it more often. Xanga is just so much easier!
soooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... joam and i took off for a week to Yellowstone and other places north of here. Lots of fun!
i volunteered at a triathlon yesterday and it was amazing. seeing those people just killing themselves! i still want to do a triathlon but it is getting scarier the closer it gets to the start!
new swim schedule: monday nights in elk grove, wed & fri mornings in Galt. I've gotta step up training to actually doing SOMETHING! it's not like the races where you can just walk them. i've gotta build up some sort of endurance.
today's my day off! woo-hoo! yesterday was too, but i woke up at 6am to go volunteer so it doesn't count. i had so much fun volunteering that i'm going to do it as much as i can. i don't have to wake up so early, i found out. as i live only ten minutes from where the races are held. AND i get a $40 voucher each time!
ok. check out the left side of my page and read some snippets of my favorite blogs and check them out.

20 laps = 500 yards
***copied from my xanga, so if you read it there... don't bother reading it here! (:***
so i officially started my tri training... FINALLY!
on monday i met my friend, jodi (who is a swimming coach) and we swam laps. i couldn't do more than one lap without taking a breather! she said i was an excellent swimmer, but i think she was just being nice. (: i felt like i was flailing about trying to get to the other side of the pool! after a few laps i wouldn't be able to make it all the way to the side of the pool so i just turned over and swam the back stroke the rest of the way. it was a lot of fun. all ready, just by talking about the experience we've gained more people who want to either do the race with us or at least join in the training!
my goal is to go swimming on mondays for sure and maybe a few extra times here and there.
oh, in other news... we weren't able to keep the kitten so another wonderful family has been found to take Kava. very sad subject, but all for the best.

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
1525,600 minutes!
525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.
It's time now to sing out, though the story never ends let's celebrate,
remember a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love!
Seasons of love.
I refused to see the musical RENT because it had *gasp* "objectionable" material. I am so glad I finally gave in. It's so beautiful and passionate.
It's on tv right now.
I have more free time now that I have quit my "day job" and I LOVE it!!!! I will be training for my triathlon soon, any day now. I'm excited and scared. /:
