Too Much Good in One Day...
So my good day continues...
1) My trip to the bike store was successful. The bike guy fixed me all up and now my back is going to hurt even more with my handlebars/aerobars even lower. (wait...is that a good thing? :)
2) While at the bike store I bought O some energy gels of different varieties and flavors. He will soon start his training plan for the Towpath Marathon in October! I am very excited for him. We both ran the Raleigh Marathon together as our first marathon in 2002 but I was about 99.9% sure he wasn't going to do another one. Goes to show I don't know too much! He surprised me when he said he wanted to give it another go, especially because he knows he's going to have to do the bulk of the training by himself (my bum feet won't allow those super long runs!). Either way, I think he's going to do really well and won't have a problem getting under his goal of 3:30. Anyway, I also got a package of Clif SHOT BLOKS to try while I'm cycling.
3) Next good news was the mail. First of all, I got the edition of Support Line with my article it in! I wrote the article what seems like forever ago (and complained about it quite a bit on my blog, so you all might remember) and it has finally come out. Pretty exciting to see your name on the byline for the first time (or probably every time). I've been fortunate enough to be invited to write another article, this one due in September. Ask me if I've even thought about starting it yet? Um...no. :)
4) Also in the mail, my new bathing suit arrived! :) My current suit is starting to get the sag - you know how they get all stretched out and big and whatnot. It's not totally unusable but it's getting there fast so I ordered a new suit from Swim Outlet's grab bag. Basically what happens with the grab bag is, you tell them your size and what type of suit you want (brand and basic style) and then they send whatever they have - you don't pick the exact style and you don't get to pick the color. They mention that the suits are "last year's styles". Yeah - I've never really cared what year's styles I'm wearing and I don't care what color my suit is either. And instead of costing $65/suit, the grab bag suits only cost $30. What a steal! And so I got my suit and it's perfectly fine (black, blue and silver) and now I won't have to wear my saggy suit anymore! Life is too good!
5) Finally (and probably best of all), Roxy did not get sick on the dead mouse that she ate this morning! Oh yes - that dog is like some sort of scavenger! At 4:45 am this morning when I let her outside she found a little dead mouse and brought it into the kitchen! I let out a yelp and before my shocked body could move into action, she swallowed it up and ate it whole! What the heck? It's not the first time she's ate a dead thing, but I was worried she was going to get sick on it. Luckily O put her in the basement all day (much easier to clean up down there!) and she ended up being fine anyway. Dogs. Can't live with them, can't live without them!

I guess I'm officially entered now in the marathon since it's in print. Roxy (our dog) kept me company for 10 miles on Saturday. We'll see how long that lasts as the mileage goes up and the temperatures heat up.

Clemens' funeral was a small gathering in Elmira, where his wife and daughters were already buried. But to allow his public a chance to pay their respects, his body was first taken to New York City, whatpresenttogetuk bravehost com where thousands saw it in the Presbyterian Brick Church. The viewing was open to the public, but if you had a ticket like the one at left you could be admitted first. kompletweb http://www.kompletweb.com/page13.html

In Oklahoma violators can be fined, arrested or jailed for making ugly faces at a dog.

Glad to hear about the Grab Bag! Hopefully it is still holding up!
