Funny you should ask! She just climbed into my lap and her cold wet nose rubs against my arm (tickles) when I type!

She sounds affectionate.

nice kitty!

 

[zuropa_fit]

wonderful.....
is this a bigger event than before or one you retrain for every yr?

This will be the biggest event I've done to date. It's a 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run - estimated time = 1.5 hrs!!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Lines of longitude run north-south... latitude goes east-west (ie, laterally, if you think of north as "up").... that's how I remember which is which!

if I get mixed up.......i do the reverse!

Longitude= the long lines running North to South....they're all the same length.

 

[Alisaura]

she will after Ravelry's Knit/Crochet Olymnpics starts!

Aha...

I'm imagining Drea's flat being crammed full of this massive continuous knitted thing after two weeks...

 

[zuropa_fit]

Fair enough. Maybe we'll both be there at the same time in the future...

*pant pant*

Will you have your pom-poms out for me Oct 12???

I only work 2 events at a time (called a 'brick' workout). I had never really swum until about 2 months ago so that's still the hardest for me. The good thing is that I can do all 3 events separately at this point and pieces of them together - now it's just a matter of building up my stamina a little more.

ah! mAKES SENSE!

and the moniker...you build up the "bricks" !

Altho I rarly get to it----I being in the swimming pool!

Have to find my bathing siut, wash it and get a (it's very low $ for people over 50) membership at our NYC recreation places. One ;place i'm near when I in Manhattan has an outdoor and an indoor pool. My friend says its well maintained, too!

It's great exercise. Although I have a TOTALLy irrational fear of sharks, to the point where I wouldn't swim alone - so I had to overcome that 'cause there are not always others in the pool with me. I have to do math in my head to keep from picturing sharks swimming under/behind me. I'm

And indoor pools give me the creeps too! Again, I'm

SOmeday you'll have to plan a visit to NYC to see the BIG Marathon!!

I watch the earlier parts (depending from year to year) whgen they start running over the Veranzanno Bridge, then when they get to First Ave , finally the Men's & Women's first 3!

and sometimes I go down near the entrance to see them running later in the day around 3 - 6 PM, and cheer them on!

But this past Nov (it'd been qy\uiote a few years) and they blocked the arfea off MUCH more and put in looked like kind of "exclusive" bleachers right by the entrance .

Hey ladies Nice to see people here for a change!

Lame! Exclusivity sucks. I heard a report on NPR about these Masai warriors who were training to run the NY Marathon in their full warrior gear, in sandals, shields and spears included. I should look for pics of that...

I kind of was confused by it!
But it's possible that I was not in the best of moods/shaPE WHEN i SAW IT!

so I guess I sort of ignored it when it first shjhowed up on TV and was probably watching some other SF TV fervently at the time as well. I think--- let's ee will do the math......

Toast with crunchy peanut butter...

I read a book about peope with synesthesia, and this one woman said she loved her husband's voice, because it tasted like warm buttered toast... !

(Synesthesia is a thing where people get wires crossed in their brains, and one sensation (like sound) will trigger another one (eg, taste).)

I'll bet, but I've never done on-line shopping!

I was reading a while ago, and nearly fell asleep sitting up.

Sarah's out with friends, and I'm not sure she has a key with her, so I have to stay up. Her best friend from university, the one she's moving in with in Sept is here for the weekend (she's down to see her bf, who also goes to their university, and he was one of Sarah's sorta friends/acquaintances from high school - now, them and a few others are like this tight little family ).
