Mind Wandering Wednesdays


It's Wednesday, and you know what that means............

HA!!

................yet another installment of Mind Wandering Wednesdays! I love these posts - gives me a chance to get silly (because who doesn't need a good laugh while their muscles are screaming in pain from last night's 9 miler...) and literally unload the stressors  that have been ruling my brain. So let's get to it, shall we? What's been rolling around my noggin these past few days.....


  • BOISE!! Finally got our welcome email from the race director and the official schedule. Talk about intimidating....the simple fact that the race even needs a 3 day schedule totally freaks me out.
  • 9 mile run outside in the gorgeous weather last night - longest since the Shamrock Run. Booyah!
  •  Remember that promise to myself about not biting my nails till Boise? Ummm yeah, about that..........
  • Got my supply of CarboPro last night - excited to try this total liquid nutrition plan on the bike this weekend. If my stomach can handle GU, it should be able to handle anything. ;)
  • Got this awesome shirt from P for my birthday...sadly it is waaaaay too small. Here's hoping American Apparel makes normal people sizes so I can exchange it. And by normal I mean an XL, as this L is small enough to fit a 6 year old!
 The sticker is super cute though and a total keeper!


  • Dancing With The Stars is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows to watch while on the trainer - mindless entertainment love.
  • Saturday will be my first bike ride outside since the crash - hoping my mind doesn't get in the way of what my body knows to do.
  • Visiting my pops in Chi-town for 5 days soon. Just 3 weeks shy of Boise so you had better believe I've got the closest gym/pool already mapped out!
  • Been pretty lucky to get through long runs and even my races without the need for a bathroom break mid-stride.....unfortunately I broke that streak last night. Thank goodness my route took me past our favorite local pizza shop. They were more than accommodating. #almostpantsmypoop! #TMI? #Sorrynotsorry!
         (and yeah, I know there's no hashtagging in blogging - but what better way to get your point across!)
  • The Kid has 4 more weeks before graduating from Middle School. Am I really old enough to have a High School Freshman???!!!!!


Wow, guess my thoughts this week aren't all that random are they? Can you tell I have a certain something on my mind?!!


Aaaaand, my favorite portion of these Wednesday posts -race spectator signs! Got some HI-larious ones for ya today.

Is that a promise?

So sad but so true!


You poor, poor thing.

I'll take sweat, a free t-shirt and pain any day!!


Come on now, who doesn't like a "That's what she said" joke?! 


My all time favorite by far!


That's all she wrote folks! Planning on getting a review of my latest Tri-Box up within the next few days so stay tuned!


Any weird or random facts you'd like to share?

Mind Wandering Wednesdays


Round 2 of Mind Wandering Wednesdays. Just me, spewing out the non-sense that's been running through my brain all week....

Ready...set......Go!

  • Made a bet with myself today - if I can keep from biting my nails from now to Boise....................
  • Don't EVER run out of Hoo Ha, Aquaphor or any type of glide gel when scheduled for a 3+ bike ride...God save the "Queen"!

  • My wedding next year will be 6 months into IMAZ training - wonder if I'll be sporting some real abs by then?
Um...NO..."real' abs, dear!
  • Should probably start thinking about race nutrition...200-300 calories per hour?... eat every 10 mins?...three bottles of water on the bike? Nunn or no? To Gu or not to Gu?......blah blah blah...
  • Wonder if Boise will be 35 degrees and rainy or 90 and windy this year?
  • Still recovering from my 3 hour no glide gel trainer ride........ouch.
  • My first Tri of the season is in 10 days down in CornPalace (Corvallis). Home of the OSU Beavers - pool swim....potential to be a down pour of rain on the bike/run....what was I thinking signing up to race with these collegiate wonders.......Should probably throw on some self tanner before the race - dem legs are white!

  • Signing the Kid up for his very first Tri this summer!!!
  • Thinking of my pops and the physical ailments he's going through right now - sending lots of love out to Chi-town.
  • Speaking of Chicago - wonder how I'm going to get my scheduled 4.5 hour brick in while visiting out there in May?
  • Bike is in the shop for a tune up and a 2 hour fitting....no riding till Saturday - this makes me a very sad panda.
  • Wishing Mirinda Carfrae a very Happy Birthday while I sit here drooling over her legs.......

  • No joke but that 1:45 hour elliptical workout last night seemed to have actually HELPED my hip...what the what?
  • PT scheduled for this afternoon - if they tell me it's some sort of bone fracture I am going to freak the freak out!!! 
  • Made THE best energy bars this weekend - super easy and ridiculously good. Props to another Pinterest win!                                 
                                                   
1 cup raisins
1 cup dates
1 cup raisins

Mix in blender for 2-3 minutes until it forms a ball. Place mixture on wax paper and press into 8"x8" square. Cool in fridge overnight, then cut into preferred sized pieces.


  • Last but not least I leave you with some more outstanding race supporter signs.....

Thanks, bro - very inspiring! lol


P swore he is going to wear this as a t-shirt for IMBoise - God love him!


That's good - cause I feel like S*#@


Awe.........


AMEN!!!!




Hope everyone is having a great week!
