These people are NUTS! I thought Ironman required psychoanalysis…. We have nothing on these folks! Check it out… www.ultramanlive.com.
(We swam and ran a sliver of their route today…..)

Had a great swim this morning….. If only I can figure out how to keep the salt out of my mouth, I’d be cooking.

Geez…. our timer must be on the fritz. We COOKED this morning on the same route as last time. There is NO WAY we ran the same time. Oh well. At least we’re logging the miles and we’re sticking to the ‘intermediate’ plan for the Vancouver First Half. Week 1. Done.

I came all this way and didn’t bother to do my toes. Bad girl!

Maybe it’s the time change? Maybe it’s my body decompressing? Maybe it’s all the salt water snorkeling? I don’t know for sure why it happens, but when I come to Hawaii, I find myself sleepy all day. I could very easily have a nap every afternoon on the beach. I am in bed well before 9pm. And I love getting up early to drink my morning Kona coffee and breath in the fresh air. Not that I’m complaining about it…. It simply fascinates me…
(It could be all those sleep inducing macadamia nuts?? )
Maybe, some things are better kept mysteries….

Even though our run today was hard - and I bet a great calorie burner - I’m sure I ate the GNP of a small country at the Sirian’s Apple Cup party. Brownie bites, chips & salsa, bar-b-que, cookies, apple salad, and many more morsels I didn’t even reach. Glad the Cougs won but … jeepers. Football is tough on the thighs!

Interval spin……. not as good of a high as the dreadmill….. but a good sweat all the same. Finished up with some core work.

Dreadmill sprint interval workout. Hard, fast, up to 7.5% grade… and in 30 second increments. 8mph to 10.5 mph. I love this workout because the ‘high’ lasts for ages. Yeahhhhhhhh baby.

At a conference in Boston. I LOVE the energy in this city. After a long day of (really good!) conference work, I was craving a roam!! Holy moly, the wind was cold and biting! After about 5 minutes I realized that if I was going to last, I had to stop at a store (Thanks, Filene’s!) to buy a hat and some mitts. Picked up a cute, matching pair that matched my scarf too!
Anyhooooooo - a power-walk about town, around Boston Common, with a self-potrait at the Cheers bar, and I’m back in my hotel to de-thaw.
If anyone has words to describe the cool factor in this city, I’m all ears.
Go Sox.

We rarely argue…… except for one thing. Sliding door open? Sliding door closed. I’m freezing. He’s burning up.
How do we meet in the middle? Arrrgh…..(Or, should I say, Brrrrrr!!!!)
