Random Thoughts
1) The ice cream truck came by our house today! We didn't live here last summer so I didn't know we had an ice cream truck. This is very good news. Roxy went crazy when she heard the blaring ice cream truck music. Next time it comes, I'll be ready with some cash. (not as if we don't have plenty of ice cream in our freezer, but somehow ice cream truck ice cream is so much better :)
2) Today O and I had lunch with one of my college roommates/teammates. She is actually the one who introduced O and I. They went to high school together. She lives in Key West, Florida now. That, my friends, is pretty darn awesome.
3) I took today off as usual. I was glad to do so. I've been having a hard time deciding what to do this week leading up to my first tri on Sunday. These are the kinds of times I wish I had a coach. I don't want to back off too much but I want to back off some. I may err on the conservative side since I've been feeling a little fatigued lately. No bricks this week. That will probably help me get time for a little more sleep at night too.
4) I read this article with interest this morning. I was glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't swim in a straight line in open water.
5) Only 3 days of work this week and only 4 days until we leave for vacation! Wooo-hooo!

Hey Beth,
I know you don't know me, but I read the blogs on this site frequently. I am a runner in Charleston, SC and noticed you are doing the sprint tri here this weekend. I don't know the weather for next week, but it is really hot and humid here now. That says a lot from someone who grew up in the south. It was 97 yesterday but is suppose to cool down w/ the rains from the tropical storm. The race is a lot of fun in a great park. The lake is kinda small and gross but will be great for your first tri as there are no waves. Charleston is not known for its fast women, so you will likely place high for the women. Good luck!
