Triathlon

I've been thinking about doing a triathlon ever since last summer and I am finally starting to plan for it. (not really run or anything, I just put it on the calender) I'm only doing the sprint distance so it's not too crazy. I've done swimming and running races, but never biking so that's where I'm the most concerned. Even if I go slow, I'll at least finish.
So the question is: WHO'S WITH ME?! It's 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run. It will be so much more fun if friends race too. It's about an hour south of here. Saturday, September 10th, so we have all summer to train. It's one of the cheapest triathlons I have found ($55) And if you don't want to do the whole thing, they have relays teams! ($95 for the whole team) Repeat after me, "this is a great idea!" Now click here to sign up!

(and if you have any triathlon tips, I would love to hear them!)

Full

Here are some samples of how often Calvin will use the phrase "I'm full."

Do you want to go clean up your toys? "No thanks, I'm full."

Could you go get your shoes? "No thanks, I'm full"

I think you get the idea. 

Calvin the cook

Calvin thinks it's fun to dump spices on food like he sees me do when I'm cooking. When our spaghetti sauce was simmering on the stove the other day he went to town when I wasn't looking. What scared me most was him on a stool right next to the stove. When I saw what was piled on top of the spaghetti that wasn't a pretty sight either. And again yesterday I left my baked potato unguarded and the next thing I knew Calvin had added excessive amounts of salt for me. yum. actually, it really was yum. Not good for me, but very delicious.

Well worn

The 4 week plan is going... ok. Could be better. I realized today that of all the recipes I have in my recipe folder my chocolate chip cookie recipe is the most worn out. (cookies aren't a dessert though, right? Just an unhealthy snack? Oh well, better luck tomorrow)

And as a side note, my basketball stats are doing much better.
