let's hear it for week off...

Not intentionally I might add... managed to gash my finger open when I was planning a trainer ride, and then somehow came down with a freaky summer cold so I haven't even got to test run the new BRIGHTLY colored Mizunos.

I'm hoping that Saturday AM is my time :)

On a side note, I went to the doc today for the usual annual ... and my last DexaScan was good. So I don't have to go for one for another year. Have you had your bones tested ??? Do it ! Painless, quick and totally good info to have :) And my doc knows that I run and workout, having my records from when I weighed in at 174. He told me about a patient of his that just started 'running'. The patient has lost 56 pounds. Dr. said the patient told him sometimes people who are walking pass him when he thinks he's running. Oddly... I can relate :) I told my Doc my fav saying to pass on to his patient... "first or last, it's still the same finish line". So true !

Next - CNN had a study yesterday saying pear shaped woman had more memory loss than apple shaped chicks. Damn... I'm a TOTAL pear. I need to work on whittling down the 'pear' side. However, apple chicks have more cardio / heart issues ... either way ladies... work it off !!

I went last weekend and watched our friend's 9 year old son do his first ever triathlon (100 yd swim / 1.5 mile bike / .5 mile run) . Seriously good stuff. After years of Little League and soccer, even though we were fortunate and had great parents for those teams, I was very impressed with the Tri parents :) One girl, probably, 10ish, got out of the water, ran to her bike, and her mom, easily 300 pounds, got on a bike and started pedaling with her. In they both came from the bike, and off they both went on the run. I was soooo happy to see that ! A parent, showing her child to get out and move, and this parent, large, working it too. So very thrilled with that.

Just know... size, age, weight, activity, ability doesn't matter... just get out and get moving peeps !
