Four Fun Footnotes...
1. I am luvin' this list we've got goin on for...Ya Know You're a Tri/Runner Freak When.... Luv it.
2. It's always fun to discover new blogs, especially new ones where you know they're a gem to be 'discovered'. And I'm biased about this one bc we have just too many similarities..it sorta creeped me out when I first discovered her (in a good way;-). Her name Anne Marie, she loves tri's, is training for an IM, is a LEO, AND lives in Pittsburgh Pa, where I grew up! She loves the tri world and always writes fabu comments. I am ~15 yrs her senior, so sorta feel like a big sis in a way, but wanted to give a shout to her blog.
3. Through my own current Sugoi Giveaway, I learned about a GoLite's Daily Summer Giveaway they host on their Facebook page. I signed up, and yah, I haven't won anything yet...but I sorta get the thrill like buying a lottery scratcher each day. So...wanted to spread the word.
4. I know my running plan for the rest of 2010.
And it doesn't include a marathon. At least not this year. What I realize is I just miss running fast, and I haven't done so since my heel injury back in the beginning of May. I then missed ~6 wks of pivotal run training, and then only had ~5 weeks to just get my running legs back to finish Vineman. Now, I wanna feel fast. I miss that feeling. And training for a marathon won't bring that result. But training for a half could, and allow me to do a few more sprint triathlons, and focus on my swim/bike too.
That's it for me over here. Any footnotes of your own to share? Happy Weekend Friends!

Your training program sounds pretty awesome. I think I know what you mean about wanting to feel fast. I've never been a fast runner, so I don't know what it's like. But I've always wanted to be.
Good luck with your training! I can't wait to hear about how speedy you get!
A half sounds like a great plan...speedy!
That list rocks.
Can't wait to read about your speedy races coming up!
I’m so glad you “discovered” me – your blog has really been an inspiration and I’ve loved following it. I’ve been thinking a lot about different goals to set for all of my roles in life too!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
I signed up for the GoLite giveaway when it first started and still haven't won anything. :(
If I had your times I would feel like a speedy chick..fast as a flash:) I totally get it though...you know what you are able to do and your fast is my super-duper fast:) Hang in there, I predict huge PRs coming your way! Damn, I miss California! We have been having some crazy hot and humid weather! Running in this sucks the big one:) You are so lucky to live in Sonoma! I told my hubby this morning that I want to go back. Have a great weekend!
I grew up in South Hills, too!
When looking to set up a shoe collection site at Laurel Highlands (70 miler), I learned that the RD graduated from same HS I did 20 years before me.
And on a completely un-healthy (except for the heart!) connection, one of one of my former (this past year) students was kind enough to make a Sarris run for me when she went to her cousin's wedding.
(Note- I gave her money and the wedding was practically next to Sarris. :-)
It was high tide. The spider webs weren't so thick, but plentiful.
I've run the trail hundreds of times in a few years.
Yet each time, it's completely different.
Today I ran 1/4 of it. Hiked/walked the rest.
You gotta listen to your heart. It knows best. :-)
Enjoy the speedy running and what is best for YOU! :-)
Practically neighbors :-)
I grew up in Bethel Park- right on the Allegheny/Washington County line. Off of Clifton and McMurry, only a few streets from the Montour trail.
Not sure if you saw it and hope the other Anne-Marie won't mind my sharing it- try putting your wet money in saran wrap. You can fold tightly and it might keep it a bit more clerk-friendly. If you need to, you could seal with scotch tape. :-)
Yup, you weren't far from me at all... Small world! We would always go to South Hills Village because the malls in WashPA were pretty boring.
I did see your post about on my blog entry about the money but didn't have a chance to write back. Thanks for both ideas - I found the teeny ziplock bags and bought a pack and am going to see how those fit, and the saran wrap will be a back-up idea. Thanks again! :)
