What Now?
So it's only 7 pm and I have all my workouts in, work day done, home, dinner made and eaten and even cleaned up. Did I mention it's only 7 pm? So I ask - now what?
Ahhh...the taper. Such a lovely time where you might only have one workout/day and it's probably shorter than usual. This morning I did some (very) light work on the track and that was it for training. As I was driving home from work I wondered what I might do after dinner? Relax and rest I guess. Oh...that's what the taper is all about! :)
Luckily I have 2 workouts tomorrow to keep me busy so I won't have so much time on my hands.
In other news, some comments from my blog on Saturday regarding suntan lotion got me to thinking. Do we really own any suntan lotion? Of course the answer is no. I'm a little ashamed to admit this because I know the sun's rays can be harmful even when it's cloudy. But truthfully I never think to put suntan lotion on because, well...it's really not sunny around here. SO - any of you people from sunny places attending the St. Anthony's triathlon - I will need you to bring some for me. Or I guess I could buy some for $2 at the pharmacy. :)
Have a great night everyone!

I'm so jealous-I wish I was doing St. Anthony's this weekend. Have a blast, and try to remain sane during the taper--that's typically when my husband knows to scatter!!

O remember the drug store we stopped at to get chapstick in November in Clearwater? That might be a choice. I printed out your Packet; it will help us to navigate also. Thanks!

suntan lotion is good but i try NOTHING new during a race... if you can get some now and make sure of it that would be better...
