Trouble Indeed
Totally addicted to Facebook. I just knew that was going to happen. But it's fun! And you'd be surprised to know how many people have Facebook accounts. Astounding! Definitely not something for just high school/college kids. Besides, I think I was thinking of myspace.com, which is different. I think. Anyway, I still haven't figured Facebook totally out. There is a feature where you can write something on someone's wall. That's weird. You can also "poke" people. Which I think is even weirder.
In other news, I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE OLYMPICS!!! Of course the Olympics are the best ever and if there is something that's going to break me of my newly formed Facebook habit, it will be Olympics watching. Of course I will be watching swimming, cycling and triathlon with keener interest. I've always watched the track/marathon. And I also like gymnastics (who doesn't?) and equestrian (I used to ride horses in a former life). But I really like ALL the sports because when else do you watch the best of the best competing against each other for the biggest title in athletics? Awesome. I can't wait. O has already been watching the early soccer games on his computer and will be into the baseball, softball, basketball...and just about everything else. :)
As for training today I went to masters this morning for a great swim workout! It was great to be back and swim with my lanemates! And it worked out well because the workout wasn't anything crazy or too hard or long which was perfect for my "easier" week. Tomorrow I think I will finally try running. I haven't ran since last Saturday's failed attempt at a fast half marathon. :)
And last but not least, I signed up for this race in Charlotte, NC today! I'm really excited for an all woman's race and also just for another sprint race. That's my personal protest against 70.3. :) Yep, that's right, I'm going 20.6 instead. Doesn't that sound so much better?

There was a Sherox here in Philly too. I haven't done it but it looks like a good race. It should be fun.
I can't wait for the Olympics either!!!!

I am super scared to ever look at a face book, I think I better stick to blog land... I am too entertained here, face book would totally get me!
20.6, that is hilarious... back on the horse, nice!

Facebook is trouble for sure. The allure kinda wears off after a bit though...

Beth,
I'm just catching up on your blog (Getting a week behind here is a lot to read!). I'm soooooooo sorry to hear about your Steelhead race. Oh noes, oh noes! You seem in as good a spirits as you can be about it though, and being smart about moving on from it. It sounds like your body is in need of a little recovery time, and I hope you're able to get it back into tip top form soon.
Thinking of you a lot,
Meghan
