Sorta Wet

[legalmoose]

Swam, but in no recognizable pattern. Not to say I didn't have good form (I did), but no real plan to the swim this morning. Spent a couple minutes talking to the big guy in the next lane who it turns out is also doing the Newbie program with the DC Tri Club, and pointed out that there's a swim clinic on Monday that I'll have to look into attending now.

Sleep was... blah. Need to get to bed earlier than I am (as usual - nothing new there).

The kids peanut butter from whole foods, while having slightly less fat than, say, Skippy or Jiff, is almost too liquidy. It doesn't separate, but it looks like it has, if that makes any sense. I even stirred it up when I first opened it, it looked so liquidy. Bizarre. Good taste, but bizarre. (this is the stuff I keep in my office for snacks - at home I get the "natural" peanut butter and stir the oil back in)

Chatted with michaelnolan last night on the way to my reception, which was fun. Yay for freebie minutes on the cell phone. :)

I think one of the things I love most about the swim portion of my workouts is that it's one area where you look and feel truly graceful.

Okay, Aquaman™ I'm not, but it's more graceful than, say, running. The whole "glide through the water" thing is kinda cool.

And some of us do indeed appreciate your form.

That's because you have no bodyfat to keep you afloat. ;-p I, on the other hand, have no such limitation, to my chagrin.

just to be different, i'm going to comment on the peanut butter:

i always drain the oil out of the stuff, it just grosses me out to see it floating at the top of the jar.

[legalmoose]

Yeah, but with the natural stuff if you don't stir it back in, you just have hard peanuts left, which doesn't spread really well, unfortunately.

i can't eat peanut butter anymore. i got addicted to it and that's why i have to spend so much time at the gym... i would have eaten a shoe if it had peanut butter on it.
Worst Kind of Peanut Butter Ever : the kind with the jelly already mixed in.

My current favorite snack (past a good apple) is pretzel sticks dipped in the peanut butter. This was not a good thing to discover. :)

shame you can't have those new hershey's "5" things. they are evil.

Such an unexpected surprise to get a call from my favorite moose.

[legalmoose]

Yay! I enjoyed it thoroughly. :)

I feel graceful on a bike. Not so much when I'm struggling to get up a hill on a trail, but on the flat part, or going down, or on a road? I'm FLOATING! :)

[legalmoose]

Yeah, see, there are very few flat spots to ride on here in DC, where it is surprisingly hilly (not as hilly as your area of the country, admittedly, but they don't call my neighborhood "Mount" Pleasant for nothing).
