a coworker of mine (male, single) showed me his triathalon training schedule.
I could not believe it!! crammed into every part of his day was all sorts of training events. I think he had a couple afternoons free in an entire month.
Blowing my nose.. drinking tea. ah, isn't this fun?
Ugh. First day back at work. This kind of sucks. Of course, my job always kind of sucks, so why should today be different. At least no one is running up to me screaming "we missed you so much, you can't ever be sick again!" I must've finally gotten through to them that I do not take that as a compliment.
I've got all the production work caught up, everything is either printed or printing. Really, a monkey could do this part of my job. It gives me time to play on TD.:)
I won't even pretend to be a tri-girl, the thought of running makes my knees hurt, and I swim like a rock. So everyone out there that does tri's - I salute you!
I hate that first day back after being sick. You either get "wow, you don't look very good, do you feel okay?" type comments, or you get flooded with work you missed when you were sick, or you have that constant lingering brain fog that makes you completely unable to multi-task or speak coherently for more than 30 seconds.Quote:

All of the above! The only saving grace is our email server is down - who knows what's lurking there for me! I've had my first "you don't look like you feel good" comment. Oh, gee thanks! Almost lunch time - I can escape for a bit!Quote:

Hey when does this cold go away? I am tired of it.
On the tri front, I plan to do one before I am 40. I also plan to come in dead last.
BM03...you won't be last cuz I'll be crawling in behing you :p
I liked the comments I got when I returned to work from gallbladder surgery, mind you I was grey and gaunt and in pain..."you've lost so much weight, you look fantastic!!!". :rolleyes:Quote:

So THAT'S where our snow is hiding! Send it on home to us here.

Someone, anyone, I really would like to see some snow this winter. Please send snow.
We're getting snow here right now.
I'm a pretty lackadaisical triathlete. don't have a clue what my heart rate is. Ever. The only reason I survieve the swim part is because of the floatie wetsuit. I kick BUTT on the bike. I walk the run.
Wooohoooo! I'm a triathlete! (sally edwards told me so!:D )
BMo3 if you come in last on the Danskin you get to cross the finish line with Sally Edwards and you get a basket of goodies.:p
