When Baboo told me that I said, What? what guys? None of the friends we have are on Lipitor. And Baboo answered, in all seriousness, "our friends are freaks, Misty"
Hah. Freaks. My friends are freaks. FREEEEEEAKS! I like that.
12. I recently tested a new watch for Timex that I think would be awesome for sprint triathlons. It has 2 features I like: first, you can set it to remind you to drink and eat at planned intervals. So then, say, every 15 mintues it will chime a little tune, and when you look at it, it says DRINK NOW. There's also one that says EAT NOW. The second thing I like about it is that when in Chrono mode, you can just tap the screen to go to the next lap. So, no buttons, no looking at it. Just tap. I've tested it in training, so I'm going to test it in a sprint soon.
11. I also recently tested another Tech4o watch. I tested one with a built in pedometer a couple years ago, which I was very pleased with. The pedo watch was dead-on for walking, with about a 2% error ratio for distance, and then from that it would calculate pace, etc.
10. On Tuesday, we started our crazy hot hard afternoon workout by running up to tower 2 (see profile, below). It was fun, and I felt like a kid again, touching the tower and then running back down the hill.

7. About once a month or so, the lunch ladies at the psychiatric hospital where I work show up at my door, and ask me if I want an egg mcmuffin. they make them with cheese slices on a big old home-made biscuit. What am I, made of stone? then I entered it into Weight watchers: 9 points. Ulp. Next time, I'll have to say, "sorry, I've already eaten".
6. Sometimes, I hate how condescending artificial intelligence is. We couldn't find an entry for substitude. Did you mean substitute?
5. About an hour before doing my Tuesday night trail run, I did another experiment: I ate some instant grits. I am pleased to report that they sat very well with me, and I think enough of the carbs got into my system that I in no way bonked on this run, which was done with temps in the low nineties.
4. I am now mad at the Caldera marathon, and next year, I will kick its ass. Stupid caldera. I'll show you.
3. There has been a recent spate of people with motorcycles riding them into the open space. It's somewhat analgous to someone racing around your local park, tearing up the grass, scaring the squirrels and kids. They race around, scaring the crap out of people and animals, and by the time the police show up, they're gone. I'm going to contact the open space people and see if there is some sort of barrier we can erect to keep them out.
2. My tuesday night runs, (profile, above, of this week) I've been doing with my Vibrams. I'm trying to toughen up my feet.
1. Besides grits, I did another experiment this week. In case you're thinking it, I'll save you the time: My hopethesis that running without underwear would be comfortable was not supported. Step, Step *tug* Step, Step *tug* Step, Step *tug* Step, Step *tug*... .
no, no need to thank me. That's why I'm here.
