Random happenings

Oh, bullet points, how I've missed you!

# My legs have been tired after the mega weekend. In fact, Monday I ran 10 slow instead of 10 with 8X50sec hills sprints. I tricked myself to get out of the house on Tuesday by telling myself that I will run a few easy miles, and then once I was out I made myself do the hill sprints. Gotcha!

# Who knew that my arms could actually get sore? I started doing short pool intervals on Wednesdays (I hate them but I am telling myself that I love them), followed by paddle work, and my arms feel heavy up to Friday, when I swim again!

# I am considering joining twitter.

# I started watching "Desperate housewives" on the trainer. I never thought I would like that show, mostly bc I can't relate, and I was right. Still, I have a feeling starting next year I am going to be able to relate at least partly to the mommy dramas, as we embark onto the public school journey.

# I have not gotten a haircut since January. I need one desperately but I somehow choose to not make the time.


# We had 70+ degrees today. It was hot and muggy and I really did not like it one bit. Call me nuts, but I am going to miss running in the cold.

# We put a big sign in the living room "No Bad Language". It was meant for my little sign devil, but somehow it has helped ME tremendously.

# Speaking of language, I may have come across the best children's book ever written. Check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Yep-definitely pre-ordering that one! I don't "get" twitter. I can go without a cut but not a color. My hair is 100% gray. Lasts about 5 days before I have to touch it up. The joys.....

I have used similar strategy today- tricking myself into a hard swim. I usually do not have to use tricks but today was an exception.

I usually get haircuts every 2 years or so. I do not care what I look like...

Oh yes trash TV is the best for the trainer!!!

My hair hasn't been cut since sometime in the fall - I really need a trim at least to get the split ends but never seem to find the time - it seems like a lot of effort to pay for something so minor.

Join twitter!!!!!

I already miss the cold too :( and we don't even get nearly cold as you, but yah I love cold running.

I haven't had my hair cut in so long either (pre-CIM), my bangs are a mess. I tried to go before Boston but didn't have time.

Love the tricks into hard workouts ;)

I still don't know what twitter is really. Why are you thinking about it? what draws you in? I think I might get a running skirt before I get on twitter so um...never. ha ha. never say never. I might someday (twitter, not the skirt). :) Um, that book...awesome. F&**ing funny! :) Do you own it? ha ha. I am so going to get a hair cut next week....my husband has an appt. planned for me for MOther's Day. I NEED it!!!

I think my last haircut was fall 2009, but I don't quite remember. I really should get one soon, because this cut doesn't work with longer hair.

I love the feeling of tired arms after swimming!

I don't have Twitter either, but have thought about it recently. Do I really need another social networking outlet? I don't think so. Nice job with the brain trickery :).

haha. did petru make that sign too? :) is he still in his sign-making business?

LOL at that kids book.

Ha! I went to the hairdresser about 2 months ago..maybe 3. She said, "Ready for your annual hair cut and highlights?" She was kidding...but looked in the books and said it had been 11 months. That explains the not being able to get a comb through.

Arms DO get sore!!! But from swimming? That's hard core!!

I've only meddled with twitter a little bit - it does not ding my dong.. but perhaps I like being wordy and it's not the right medium for that.

Your trickery is inspiring. Inspirational.
