Take a Deep Breath

One of the rare instances where Aimee is right, I have not updated in almost a month. That's because the streak lightening fast month of May always gets the best of us, tri training notwithstanding. Ok, since we last left our "heroes", we saw the Eagles play hoops at MHS. Bean got all the autographs and Mike H. chatted up Hank Baskett sitting in the stands. I bet he asked him about Kendra. Brent did a great job! We celebrated Bean's 14 and Sports 20. Bean just keeps getting smarter and funnier and Sports is getting older and more mature-ish. We are proud of both of them. We honored all the mother's mid month. I am very proud of mine and my kids! They are honor worthy every day of the year. Cabo has been in and out of trouble for the last few weeks. I felt he was having a good day a week ago or so and left him out of his crate while I ran the trail. He left me a living room nearly full of furniture stuffing upon my sweaty return. Thank you for that, Cabo! The four of us plus one attended Memorial Day weekend at the Jones Resort. Always a lot of fun. Boating, swimming in their lackluster 3 waterfall only pool, and seeing fine people we usually only see once a year made for some great memories. See picture.
On to training. While in the not so deep south, I donned my wetsuit and swam 1/2 mile upstream with Capt. Patrick and his first mate Missy watching my every stroke. There were lots of them. 30 minutes of fighting like a salmon! Much different than the MHS pool with it's pretty little black stripe on the bottom for measure and lack of a current. I finished that and hopped on the bike. Good experience to recall for tri day. I have been biking and running a bit. Good workout the other day. 10 miles to the Rappo's and back and a mile by foot on the trail. I didn't feel whipped at the end. I will keep that up for the next few weeks and try to find another swim venue at least once. I have had a few bikes and runs where my blood sugar has dropped. Not a pretty scene. Thankfully, there are coke cans and sports beans always within reach. Well, almost always, right Missy?? They will go in my saddle bag first thing.
Please please please join my in raising some money for the American Diabetes Association on JUNE 3rd, WEDNESDAY, AT MARGARITA'S IN MUHLENBERG FROM 5:00 - 7:30PM. I will be the "celebrity bartender" for the happy hour. All my tips from the shift will be donated to diabetes as a fundraiser for my Tri for Diabetes. I hope to see many many Big Tone Tri Army soldiers there so we can drink, be merry, laugh with friends and family, and do all that for a good cause.
