Six Weeks to Go

CB gave me an iPhone for my birthday - he couldn't have missed my desire for one unless he had lived on Mars for the six months prior to my 36th birthday. To say I love this piece of plastic and glass would be an understatement. It's my new right hand.

But since getting it, I find I don't get on the actual computer much anymore - much to the happiness of my two children. I can check email, websites, play scrabble, read a book, check my bank account and the all important, FaceBook, without having to actually sit down to do it. The best thing is that I can leave it on the counter and away from little hands. I do have the ability to update the blog from the phone, too, but I just haven't really tried too hard to do it.

But back to the subject of this entry. I've got six weeks to go until my triathlon! I started training in February for it and at that point, July 26 seemed years away. But now it's "next month!" Eeeks!

I've been sick so much during this training - or maybe I've been as sick as I would have been without the training, but I am more aware of it when the illnesses keep me from running, swimming or biking. I'm just finishing up some antibiotics and for the first time in ten days, I finally got a run in and it felt great! Much better than I expected.

The next thing I need to do is finally order my gear - my suit and whatever stuff I will need for the big day. I also want to get my bike checked out and see if I need to get anything to make it more suitable for the 12 mile race. It's only two years old, but it's a recreational bike, and I just want it to look the part that day.

I'm off to get my workouts scheduled for the week, now that I'm among the living again!
